At Forbush Baptist Church, we value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide through our website and ministry activities. By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
When you visit our website or interact with us online, we may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, prayer requests, event registrations, volunteer inquiries, or other information submitted through forms on our website. We may also collect certain non-personal information, including browser type, device information, and website usage data, to help us improve the functionality and effectiveness of our website.
The information we collect is used to support the ministry of Forbush Baptist Church. This may include responding to questions, providing ministry updates, communicating church events, processing registrations, coordinating volunteer opportunities, offering pastoral care, and improving the services and resources we provide. We use personal information solely for church-related purposes and seek to handle it responsibly and respectfully.
Forbush Baptist Church does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to outside organizations. In some cases, we may work with trusted service providers who assist us with website operations, communications, or ministry functions. These providers are expected to maintain the confidentiality and security of any information entrusted to them. We may also disclose information when required by law or when necessary to protect the safety and security of individuals or church operations.
If you submit a prayer request through our website or church communications, please understand that requests intended for church-wide prayer may be shared with members of our congregation. If you would like your request to remain confidential, we encourage you to indicate that at the time of submission so that it can be handled appropriately.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children and families. Any information collected regarding minors will be handled with care and, when appropriate, with the knowledge and consent of a parent or guardian. Information related to children's ministry activities, registrations, or communications will be used only for ministry purposes.

While we take reasonable measures to protect the information entrusted to us, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We strive to use appropriate safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.
From time to time, our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Because we do not control these external sites, we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
