What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Approved comments with the name you enter and other information you provide will be displayed on the web site until such time as you request that we remove them, or until the page is removed.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Forms

We utilize Ninja Forms for most forms on our web site. Some forms on our site are powered by Google.

Ninja Forms is a WordPress Premium Form Builder Plugin to create stylish and modern style form within a few clicks.

The following policy reflects Ninja Forms. The privacy policy for Google Forms can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Ninja Forms stores ip address and country of visitor. However, Ninja Forms provides an option to prevent storing visitor data.

Ninja Forms will not store any personal data except user_id (only if user is logged in), ip address, country, browser user_agent, and referrer. Information is stored only when the user submits the form. Any other information provided on forms is not transmitted to Ninja Forms and is kept securely on the Woodland Baptist Church website.

We store this data to provide the analytics of the visitor and the user who submit the form.

Ninja Forms will also store the user data given for third party opt-ins like MailChimp, Aweber, etc in their database. These data are editable as well as removable from the form entry section of Ninja Forms.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Some browsers now allow you to disable these features.

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

We use Akismet anti-spam service. The information collected by Akismet can inclued the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself). Information may also be sent to AR Forms, 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 WordPress, an industry leading web content creation company powering 19% of the web. They are constantly updating and improving their security measures. This site is updated quickly any time WordPress issues a security update, so your data remains as safe as WordPress allows for it to be. 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 Baptist Church will take action to work with our hosting company, WordPress 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 Baptist Church, it’s 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 AR Forms and Google on this site. Additionally, you may choose to log in to some areas of our site with Facebook, or sign up for our email lists through MailChimp. 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.
