Privacy Policy
A legal disclaimer
Christ Within U, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to spiritual growth and community outreach, is deeply committed to protecting your privacy. When you visit our website, make a donation, sign up for events, or submit prayer requests, we only collect information you voluntarily provide—such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and payment details for donations or volunteer applications. We also automatically gather basic, non-identifying technical data like your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited through secure, essential cookies and anonymized analytics tools. We do not use targeted advertising, cross-site tracking, or any form of data monetization. Your trust is foundational to our mission, and we never sell, rent, or trade your personal information under any circumstances.
Your information enables us to fulfill our charitable purpose effectively and transparently. We use it to process tax-deductible donations and issue IRS-compliant receipts, send periodic mission updates, event invitations, and prayer letters (with easy opt-out options in every email), coordinate volunteer opportunities, and manage event registrations with care for your preferences (like dietary or accessibility needs). We retain donation records for seven years as required by IRS regulations, volunteer and participant data only during active involvement plus a short period afterward, and communication preferences until you unsubscribe. All other data is securely deleted as soon as it’s no longer needed. Our systems use SSL encryption, secure payment gateways, and strict access controls to safeguard your information, though we remind you that no online transmission is 100% risk-free.
You have full control over your data. At any time, you may request to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, or simply stop receiving communications from us. To exercise these rights or ask questions, please email our Privacy Officer at cwithinyou@gmail.com. We respond promptly—typically within 30 days—and will never discriminate against you for asserting your privacy preferences. This policy may be updated periodically; changes will be posted here with the new effective date. Thank you for partnering with Discern Watch as we live out our faith together.
