Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 13, 2026
This policy explains what information Church Mexico collects through churchmexico.org, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have a question about it, email us at info@churchmexico.org.
Information you give us
- Contact form. Your name, email address and message, so we can reply to you.
- Donations. Gifts are made through our giving partner, Harness, which opens in a window on this site or on churchmexico.harnessgiving.org. Harness and its payment processors collect your payment details. Church Mexico receives a record of your gift and your contact details so we can thank you and provide receipts. We do not see or store your full card or bank account numbers.
- Mission trip release forms. If you join a mission trip, you complete a release form that asks for contact details, date of birth, an emergency contact, medical and insurance information, photo consent and a signature. For a participant under 18, a parent or guardian completes the form. These details are used only to run the trip safely and keep the signed agreement on file.
Information collected automatically
- Visit statistics. We use analytics tools (including PostHog, and Google Tag Manager as part of the giving tool) to understand which pages are visited and how the site is used. They may set cookies or store an identifier in your browser.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard technical details, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver and secure the site.
- Release form security. The release form uses a short-lived cookie to keep you signed in for up to two hours. It stores only a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address and browser details, for security.
How we use information
- To reply to messages and keep in touch with people who contact us or give.
- To process gifts, send receipts and keep the financial records the law requires.
- To organize mission trips and respond to an emergency during a trip.
- To understand how the site is used and improve it.
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Who we share it with
We share information only with the service providers that help us run this site and our ministry, and only for that purpose. They include our giving platform (Harness) and its payment processors, our forms and analytics provider (Mozart Works), our website hosts, and our email delivery provider. We may also disclose information if the law requires it or to protect the safety of a person.
How we protect it
Information is sent over encrypted connections. Mission trip release forms are stored encrypted, and only authorized Church Mexico representatives can view them. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
How long we keep it
We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, including any period required for financial, tax or legal records.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from them. Release forms for participants under 18 are completed by a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices
- You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing info@churchmexico.org.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site still works without them.
- You can unsubscribe from any email we send by using the link in that email or by contacting us.
Other websites
Our site links to other websites, including our giving platform. Their own privacy policies apply when you use them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
