Data Usage

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Information may be sent to SquareSpace, Google, and other plugin providers for this site. If users choose to log in with Facebook or MailChimp, their data will be shared with those companies and is subject to their privacy policies. Data may be shared with law enforcement if we are legally required to do so.

Your contact information

Only contact information you choose to give us will be stored. In general, your information will only be used for church administration and activities. Your information may need to be passed from church staff to an appropriate volunteer coordinating the ministry with which you have registered. They will not share your information. Information will be shared with law enforcement officials if we are legally compelled to give it. In no other case will your information be shared in ways that are not described in this document or are not pursuant to the policies of the entities providing plugins and content on this site.

Additional information

How we protect your data

This website is constructed with SquareSpace, an industry leading web content creation company. They are constantly updating and improving their security measures. On our end, we maintain very few accounts that can access any personal data, and ensure that every user that can access personal data maintains a complex, hard to hack password. Access to personal data is only given to people that must access it to complete duties of their job or carry out the ministry they have volunteered to lead.

What data breach procedures we have in place

Should there be a breach, Woodland Church will take action to work with our hosting company, SquareSpace and, if needed, a cyber security professional (or professionals) to take the next appropriate step in securing your information and our site. All passwords for all users will be immediately changed, and we will prioritize security of data over relaunching our site. By using this site and providing information, you agree to hold Woodland Church, its members and staff, and ministry volunteers blameless for data breaches.

Third Parties and Your Data

As previously described, your data may be tracked in specific ways by SquareSpace and Google on this site.

All plug-ins will treat your data according to the privacy policy of the company with whom you’re interacting. Your information will only be shared with entities providing our website plugins, entities providing some of our content, church staff and appropriate ministerial volunteers and if needed, law enforcement officials.
