Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 29, 2026
Church of the Valley Presbyterian ("Church of the Valley," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through churchofthevalley.net, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us: when you fill out a contact, prayer request, or next-steps form, or sign up for an event or ministry, we collect what you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, and message. Giving: online donations are processed securely by our giving provider, Church Center (Planning Center). We do not store your card or bank details on our website. Automatic information: like most websites, our site may collect basic technical data such as your browser type, device, pages visited, and general location through cookies and analytics tools.
How we use your information: to respond to your questions, prayer requests, and requests for help; to share information about services, events, and ministries you are interested in; to process donations and provide giving receipts; and to improve our website and ministries.
How we share information: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run our website, forms, and giving (for example, our website host and giving platform), or when required by law. Prayer requests are shared only with our pastoral and prayer teams unless you ask us to share them more widely.
Cookies and analytics: our website may use cookies and analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the site. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings.
Your choices: you can ask us to update or delete your personal information, or to stop sending you emails, at any time by contacting us below. California residents may have additional rights under state law, and we will honor those requests.
Children's privacy: our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them online. Children's ministry registrations are completed by a parent or guardian.
Security: we use reasonable safeguards, including a secure (HTTPS) connection, to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
