If we create an email or newsletter list, we intend to provide an appropriate way for recipients to unsubscribe from non-essential marketing communications.

You may also contact us directly to request that we stop sending you marketing or promotional emails.

4. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not sell, rent, or trade the personal information submitted through our website forms to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We may, however, use third-party technology providers that help us operate our website, forms, email, hosting, communications, or other business functions. Those providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services.

5. Information Sharing

We generally use information internally for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide services or operate our website;

  • Use website, hosting, form, email, or other technology providers;

  • Respond to legal requirements or lawful requests;

  • Protect our rights, property, safety, or the safety of others;

  • Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity; or

  • Complete a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of assets.

We do not share submitted personal information with unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

6. Publicly Displayed Partner Information

If you become a Sowing the Seeds Partner, certain business-related information may be displayed publicly as part of the Sowing the Seeds Network.

This may include information such as:

  • Business name;

  • Business description;

  • Business website;

  • Business social media accounts;

  • Business logo;

  • Business location or service area; and

  • Other information specifically provided or approved for public display.

We will not intentionally publish private contact information simply because it was submitted through a form unless that information is intended or authorized for public display.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information submitted through our website.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, we encourage you not to submit highly sensitive information—such as passwords, Social Security numbers, financial account information, or other sensitive personal information—through our website forms unless specifically requested and an appropriate secure method has been provided.

8. Data Retention

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain business and partnership records, administer the Sowing the Seeds Network, communicate with you, fulfill legitimate business purposes, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, or otherwise operate our business.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete or securely dispose of it.

9. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies provided by our website hosting platform, form provider, analytics services, or other technology providers.

These technologies may be used to help the website function, understand website traffic, maintain security, or improve the website.

Because the specific technologies used may change as the website develops, we may update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect changes to our practices.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including partner businesses, social media platforms, ministry resources, and other websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us through our website without appropriate parental involvement, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
