If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Google Analytics transmits website traffic data from our website to Google servers and does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION

We collect aggregate use information, such as the number of hits per page, for internal and marketing use only; we will never provide your personally identifying information to the public.

We use the information you provide about yourself when making a donation to complete that donation and to communicate with you about your donation and its impact. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to process your donation. You can unsubscribe from communication about the impact of your donation at any time.

When you email International Mission Connection or submit a request via the form on our Contact Page, we use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

When you make a comment on a blog post, your comment and its metadata are retained on our web-servers indefinitely, so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without your explicit consent.
