Word of Life Fellowship, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you a safe online experience.
This Statement of Privacy applies to the Word of Life donation portal (give.wol.org) and governs data collection and usage. By using this website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Word of Life may collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number. When you submit a financial gift or payment on this site, your transaction is processed securely through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. Word of Life does not collect, receive, or store your credit card numbers or sensitive payment credentials on our servers; all such data is handled directly by Stripe in compliance with PCI-DSS standards.
We may also gather anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your geographic location. There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by this site. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Word of Life website.
Word of Life collects and uses your personal information to operate its website and deliver the services or process the donations you have requested. Word of Life also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products, services, or ministry opportunities available from Word of Life and its affiliates.
Word of Life does not sell, rent, or lease its customer or donor lists to third parties.
Word of Life may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Word of Life, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your data.
Word of Life will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Word of Life or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Word of Life; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Word of Life, or the public.
We use third-party tools, including Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer (VWO), to analyze site traffic, understand user behavior, and optimize our donation portal performance. These services drop cookies to aggregate anonymous statistics. If you choose to opt out of analytics tracking via our Cookie Settings banner, these third-party optimization scripts will be automatically blocked from running during your visit.
The Word of Life website uses "cookies" to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
We utilize a cookie consent management system that allows you to control how optional tracking cookies are used. While strictly necessary cookies (such as those keeping your donation cart intact or preventing payment fraud via Stripe) load automatically, optional analytics and performance cookies (such as Google Tag Manager and VWO) are disabled by default until you grant permission. You can review, modify, or revoke your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link located in our website footer.
Word of Life secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a billing address or contact info) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Word of Life does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website.
Word of Life will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect feedback and encourages periodic review.
Corporate Policy Scope: This document serves as the specific privacy notice for our dedicated donation portal. Please review the main Word of Life Fellowship's Privacy Policy for a comprehensive overview.
