Website information
Privacy Policy
Your trust matters to us. Here is how Sonoma Valley Community Church handles information shared through this website.
Who we are
Sonoma Valley Community Church is a small Protestant congregation at 181 Chase Street, Sonoma, California, serving the Sonoma Valley since 1945. This policy explains how we treat information connected with this website.
Information you choose to share
When contact, visit, volunteer, prayer or guest preaching forms are available, we receive only what you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number and message. We use it to reply to you, welcome you, coordinate volunteering or pray for you. Prayer requests are treated with care and shared only with those you ask us to involve.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider may record basic technical details such as browser type, pages visited and approximate location to keep the site secure and working. If we add website analytics, it will be used only to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
Videos, maps and giving
Sermon videos, our welcome message, maps and online giving are provided by outside services such as YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps and our giving provider. When you play a video, open a map or give, those services may collect information under their own privacy policies. Card and bank details are entered directly with the giving provider and are never received or stored by this website.
How we protect and share information
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share it only with trusted people and services who help us respond to you, or when required by law. We keep information only as long as it is useful for the purpose you shared it.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information online. Parents with questions about children's ministry are welcome to contact us.
Your choices and California rights
You may ask us to see, correct or delete information you have shared with us, or ask us to stop contacting you. California residents may have additional rights under state law. We will respond to reasonable requests promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our website or ministries change. The current version will always be posted on this page.
