Official Website: https://messengersoffire.org
1. Introduction and Commitment to Privacy
Messengers of Fire Ministries (the “Ministry,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. As a Christian ministry dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching biblical truth, and equipping believers, we seek to protect information entrusted to us with integrity and appropriate care.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and safeguard personal information when you visit https://messengersoffire.org (the “Website”) or use our online ministry services, including contact forms, prayer requests, event registrations, donations, purchases, digital resources, and subscriptions. Third-party services linked or embedded on our Website may follow their own privacy policies. Where applicable law requires specific consent, we will seek that consent separately.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
• Name, email address, telephone number, and mailing, billing, or shipping address.
• Account registration details, contact-form submissions, ministry correspondence, and inquiries.
• Prayer requests, testimonies, event registrations, and newsletter preferences.
• Donation and contribution records, book orders, digital-resource purchases, and subscription information.
• Other information you voluntarily choose to provide.
Please provide only information reasonably necessary for the particular service or communication.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
Our systems or authorized providers may collect IP addresses, browser and device details, operating system, pages visited, visit times, referral sources, cookie identifiers, and general usage and security information. Such information may support Website operations, analytics, troubleshooting, performance, and protection from misuse.
2.3 Payment and Transaction Information
Donations and purchases may be processed by third-party payment providers, including PayPal and Stripe. These providers may collect the payment information required to complete transactions. The Ministry does not intentionally store full payment-card numbers or card security codes on its own systems. We may maintain the donor or purchaser name, amount, date, order, transaction status, and limited payment references for records, fulfillment, security, and compliance. Payment providers also apply their own privacy policies.
3. How We Use Information
• Respond to inquiries, prayer requests, and ministry communications.
• Provide biblical teaching, requested resources, announcements, and ministry updates.
• Process donations, orders, event registrations, subscriptions, and related receipts.
• Manage accounts, shipping, digital access, and service questions.
• Maintain accounting, administrative, and legally required records.
• Improve Website performance, accessibility, and functionality.
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents and meet applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell or rent personal information or ministry mailing lists to data brokers or third-party advertisers.
4. Prayer Requests and Sensitive Information
Prayer requests, testimonies, and personal ministry messages can contain sensitive information about spiritual matters, health, family, relationships, and private circumstances. We seek to handle these communications with discretion. Authorized ministry personnel or designated prayer-team members may access information reasonably necessary to respond. We do not intentionally publish identifiable private requests or sensitive personal details
without appropriate authorization or another lawful basis. Please avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information about yourself or another person. Internet and email communications cannot be guaranteed completely secure.
5. Donations, Purchases, and Digital Services
We may use information associated with contributions, book and merchandise orders, event fees, and digital services to process transactions, issue confirmations and applicable contribution records, arrange fulfillment and shipping, provide digital access, administer subscriptions, respond to billing questions, and meet recordkeeping requirements. Necessary details may be shared with authorized payment, shipping, hosting, fulfillment, or subscription providers for these purposes.
6. Email Communications and Ministry Updates
Visitors may subscribe to newsletters, teaching notices, service information, event announcements, and ministry communications. Authorized email systems may be used to administer these lists and deliver messages. You may
unsubscribe from optional emails using the unsubscribe mechanism in applicable messages or by contacting us. Transactional or essential service messages may still be sent when appropriate. We seek to comply with applicable electronic-communication and consent requirements.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use essential cookies for security, account sessions, carts, and core functions; functional cookies for preferences; analytics cookies to understand Website activity; and third-party technologies associated with embedded videos, payments, and social-media services. Some of these technologies may collect personal information, such as online identifiers and activity data. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may limit functionality. Where the law requires consent or choices for nonessential technologies, appropriate controls must be provided.
8. Sharing and Disclosure
We may disclose information to authorized service providers for hosting, technical support, security, analytics, email delivery, payments, and order fulfillment; to authorized ministry personnel with an operational need; when required by law or valid legal process; to address suspected fraud, threats, or security concerns where legally permitted; or with your authorization. We seek to limit disclosures to what is reasonably necessary for the purpose. We do not sell or rent personal information or mailing lists to third-party advertisers.
9. External Websites, Video Platforms, and Services
Our Website may link to or embed content from services such as YouTube, Facebook, PayPal, Stripe, and other video, social-media, payment, and technology providers. These providers may collect information independently and maintain their own privacy practices. We do not control third-party websites or their policies. Please review their policies before providing information.
10. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, the provision of services, appropriate recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, and legal compliance. Donation, accounting, and transaction records may be retained longer than ordinary inquiries. When information is no longer required, we take appropriate steps to delete, dispose of, or de-identify it, subject to applicable law and practical technical limitations.
11. Information Security
We seek to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information and risks involved, including controls concerning access, secure communications, software maintenance, and authorized providers. Only those with legitimate responsibilities should access personal information. No electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access or incidents.
12. Children’s Privacy
Our Website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to solicit personal information directly from children under age 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect such information in circumstances requiring parental consent without meeting applicable legal requirements.
