Privacy Policy
Introduction
TGTU Church is a global online ministry. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information across our website, mobile applications, and online services. This document is provided for transparency; it does not replace or override applicable laws, TGTU’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any valid contracts, which remain the controlling documents in the event of a conflict.
Please note that ministry titles, labels, or spiritual affiliations with other entities—including The Altar of Glory Reformation and its affiliates—do not, by themselves, establish a legal partnership, agency, employment relationship, or shared liability. While we strive for absolute legal readiness, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes with courts, regulators, or tax authorities. Final legal consequences depend on governing law, official documents, and specific facts. Our mission is to protect our visitors, members, and partners by handling all data lawfully and responsibly.
Information Collection
TGTU Church collects personal data that visitors, members, donors, customers, and participants provide to us directly. This includes information submitted through account registrations, event bookings, store purchases, donations, contact forms, ministry applications, and participation in our groups, online programs, or messaging platforms.
We also collect certain technical and usage information automatically when you interact with our website and apps. Data such as device identifiers, log logs, cookie information, and analytics regarding your search activity or interactions with our video content, portfolios, calendars, and social media feeds (including Instagram) are gathered to enhance the user experience.
Processing is facilitated through specific integrated tools including Wix Members Area, Bookings, Stores, Donations, Pricing Plans, Groups, and Online Programs, alongside services like Algolia AI Product Search and shipping integrations. We collect only what is reasonably necessary for ministry operations, security, and legal compliance, remaining committed to data minimization and protection. Use of these tools does not establish a legal partnership with underlying platform owners like Wix or Algolia, who govern their services under their own respective terms and laws.
Use of Information
TGTU Church utilizes personal data primarily to sustain and enhance our global online ministry. This includes managing user accounts, coordinating event bookings, fulfilling store orders, processing donations, and overseeing subscriptions and online programs. We also use information to facilitate group interactions, messaging, notifications, and pastoral support, ensuring a personalized and supportive experience for our faith community.
- Beyond core operations, we process data to maintain service security, prevent fraud, and ensure robust safeguarding for all participants. Information is also used for mandatory record-keeping, internal analytics, and to fulfill our legal, tax, and regulatory obligations. Several ministry functions are supported by specialized third-party tools, including Wix Members Area, Bookings, Stores and Checkout, Donations, Pricing Plans, Online Programs, Groups, Digital Calendars, Video hosting, Inbox/Email communication, Algolia search, shipping logistics, and social marketing integrations.
We employ these external services and platforms strictly in alignment with this Policy, our governing documents, and all applicable laws. Please be advised that the utilization of these services does not constitute or create a legal partnership, agency, employment relationship, or shared liability between TGTU Church and these providers; they operate as independent entities under their own respective terms, privacy policies, and jurisdictions.
TGTU Church does not sell personal information to third parties. We are dedicated to using data only in ways that are demonstrably necessary, proportionate, and respectful of the individuals we serve. By prioritizing data integrity and ethical stewardship, we seek to protect the privacy of our global partners while advancing our collective spiritual mission through responsible technology management.
Data Sharing & Partnership Network
TGTU Church may share personal information with trusted service providers and ministry partners who assist in our daily operations. These entities include payment processors, messaging tools, analytics providers, and shipping services. Our ministry also utilizes various integrated applications to power the user experience, such as Wix Members Area, Bookings, Stores, Donations, Pricing Plans, Online Programs, Groups, Digital Calendars, Video hosting, Algolia AI search, and social media tools like Instagram. We share only what is reasonably necessary to facilitate ministry activities, ensure platform security, and maintain legal compliance, requiring all recipients to handle your data lawfully.
Furthermore, we may disclose personal information when required by law or to protect the safety of individuals in response to valid legal requests, such as subpoenas or court orders. It is important to clarify that spiritual affiliations or ministry partnerships—including those with The Altar of Glory Reformation and other nonprofit or business entities—are strictly ministerial in nature. These relationships do not, by themselves, create a legal partnership, agency, joint venture, employment relationship, or shared liability between TGTU Church and the affiliated party.
Finally, the use of third-party platforms and integrations within our network does not alter the ownership of those underlying technologies. These service providers, such as Wix or Algolia, are not our legal partners and operate independently under their own terms of service, privacy policies, and legal jurisdictions. TGTU Church remains committed to ethical data stewardship, ensuring that our partnership network functions solely to advance our spiritual mission while respecting the privacy of our global community.
We share essential data with trusted partners and service providers solely to facilitate ministry, secure our operations, and comply with legal requirements. Spiritually affiliated entities are not legal partners, and all providers operate under their own independent terms.
