Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Help Christianity collects and how we use it.
What we collect
- Account details: your name, email and a securely hashed password if you create an account.
- Gift details: amount, date, designation and any dedication you add. Card payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
- Newsletter and prayer submissions: your email, and anything you choose to write.
- Basic usage: page views and "Amen" reactions. Visitors are counted with a daily-changing anonymous code; we do not store IP addresses for analytics. Country and city are estimated from the connection and stored only as totals.
- Security records: to protect donors from card fraud, we keep the network address, device code and email linked to payment attempts, failed sign-ins and blocked activity for up to 90 days. We check whether a connection comes from a VPN, proxy or hosting network; such connections can give with crypto but not by card.
How we use it
- To process your gifts and send your receipts
- To send our monthly thank-you letter, news and occasional reminders — you can switch these off at any time with the link in every email
- To run and improve this website
What we never do
We never sell or rent your information. We share it only with the services needed to run the site (such as Stripe for payments and our email provider) or when required by law.
Your choices
You can update your details and email preferences from your account, or ask us to delete your information by contacting us.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in, protect forms, and count story views and reactions.
