Emanuel Lutheran Church Web Site Privacy Policy
Emanuel Lutheran Church is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the Emanuel Lutheran Church website and Facebook page.
Collection of your Personal Information:
Emanuel Lutheran Church does not collect personal or anonymous information from users of our website. However, our hosts, Facebook and Weebly may do so and we encourage you to review their privacy statements (http://www.weebly.com/privacy/ and https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy).
Emanuel Lutheran Church also encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from our website so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Emanuel Lutheran Church is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Emanuel Lutheran Church site.
Congregational Privacy Policy:
We have several basic groups of people that might be listed or referred to: pastors/staff, adult members, and youth. Information of concern includes names, email addresses, phone numbers and photos. Home addresses are never posted.
For pastors/staff, we list names, email addresses (usually office emails), and office phone numbers. No home phone numbers, home addresses, or mobile phone numbers are listed. It is important that people be able to contact the staff and that access is all through the office.
For adult members, we often list names when they are a contact for some group or activity that we are featuring on the Web site. We do not list email addresses unless they have specifically given permission. We do not list phone numbers unless they have specifically given permission. It is assumed that other members have the church directory or can call the office for phone numbers.
For youth and children, we do not list names, first or last. We also do not list addresses, email addresses or phone numbers. Photo captions do not include their names. This is for their own protection.
When using photos of Emanuel Lutheran Church events, attendees, or members - either directly on the Web site or in our photo albums - we use the following guidelines.
