Who We Are
This Privacy Policy is issued by Greg Wayne Ministries, Inc. and House of God's Wisdom Church, two related ministry entities incorporated in the State of Wyoming. Together, these organizations carry out a shared mission of teaching, outreach, pastoral care, and worship — primarily through online platforms, websites, and digital ministry services.
Throughout this policy, when we say "we," "us," or "our," we are referring to both Greg Wayne Ministries, Inc. and House of God's Wisdom Church. When we say "you" or "your," we mean any person who visits our websites, uses our online services, communicates with us, or otherwise interacts with our ministry platforms.
We are the data controllers responsible for the personal information described in this policy. If you have any questions about who we are or how we handle your information, you can reach us at:

When we use the term "personal information" in this policy, we mean any information that identifies you as an individual or could reasonably be used to identify you. The following outlines the categories of data we are committed to protecting.
Personal information includes, but is not limited to:
● Your name — whether you share it on a contact form, a prayer request, or a registration
● Your email address
● Your mailing address
● Your phone number
● Your prayer requests
● Testimony submissions and personal stories you share with us
● Donation and financial information — such as billing details processed through our
payment providers
● IP addresses and device identifiers—technical information that your device shares when you visit our
websites.
● Any other information that could, on its own or combined with other data, identify you personally
Prayer requests and testimony submissions receive the same protections as all other personal
information under this policy.
We collect only the information necessary to operate our ministry and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Here is what we collect and where it comes from:
When you choose to interact with our ministry online, you may provide information directly to us. This includes:
● Contact forms — when you reach out to us with a question or message
● Prayer requests — when you ask us to pray with you or for you
● Testimony submissions — when you share a personal testimony with us
● Event registrations — when you sign up for a conference, Bible study, or online gathering
● Newsletter and devotional signups — when you subscribe to receive communications from us
● Donation forms — when you support the ministry financially
You are never required to provide personal information to browse our websites. When we do ask for information, we ask only for what is necessary to fulfill the purpose at hand.
When you visit our websites, certain technical information is collected automatically by our servers and technology platforms. This is standard practice for websites and includes the following:
● IP address — a number assigned to your device by your internet provider
● Browser type and version — such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
● Device information — such as whether you are using a computer, tablet, or phone
● Pages visited — which pages on our site you view and how long you spend on them
● Referring URLs — how you arrived at our website (for example, from a search engine or another site)
● Cookies and similar technologies — small data files explained further in Section 7
This information helps us understand how our online platforms are being used so we can improve our services.
We work with trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our ministry effectively. These partners may provide us with limited information in the course of their services:
● Payment processors—who help us securely process donations (we do not directly handle or store your full credit card or bank account numbers)
● Email service providers — who help us deliver newsletters and devotionals
● Website hosting providers — who provide the infrastructure for our online presence
We carefully select these partners and require them to handle your information responsibly and in accordance with this policy.
We use your personal information for the following specific purposes:
● To respond to prayer requests and pastoral communications — When you reach out for prayer or pastoral guidance, we use your information to respond appropriately.
● To send newsletters, devotionals, and ministry updates — Only with your consent. If you sign up to hear from us, we will send you the content you requested. You can unsubscribe at any time.
● To process donations and provide tax receipts — When you contribute to support this ministry, we use your information to process your donation and provide the required documentation.
● To improve our websites and online services — We use aggregated, non-identifying information to understand how people use our platforms so we can make them better.
● To ensure security and prevent fraud — We monitor for unauthorized access and suspicious activity to protect both you and the ministry.
● To comply with legal obligations — We may use or retain information as required by applicable law, such as tax reporting requirements for charitable donations.
Confidentiality of Pastoral Communications
Information shared in pastoral contexts — prayer requests, personal struggles, counseling conversations — is maintained with the highest level of confidentiality. These communications are never used for marketing, never disclosed publicly without your explicit permission, and are accessible only to authorized pastoral staff directly involved in providing care.
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." - Matthew 19:14
We take the protection of children's privacy seriously. This section outlines our obligations under federal law and the additional organizational standards we apply to safeguard the personal information of children and young people.
Our Two-Tiered Protection Standard
Federal COPPA Protection (Under 13):
In full compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without first obtaining verifiable parental consent.
Enhanced Ministry Protection (Under 16):
Beyond what the law requires, we extend additional internal safeguards to all young people under the age of 16, because we believe enhanced protections for minors reflect responsible organizational practice.
Before we collect any personal information from a child under 13, we require verifiable parental consent. This means that a parent or legal guardian must provide clear, affirmative permission before their child's information is gathered. We may obtain this consent through methods such as:
● A signed consent form submitted by email or postal mail
● Direct communication with the parent or guardian by telephone or video call
● An electronic consent process that reasonably ensures the person providing consent is the child's parent or guardian. We will not ask a child to provide consent on behalf of a parent, and we will never use a child's submission as implied parental consent.
Parents and legal guardians have full authority over their child's personal information. At any time, a parent or guardian may:
● Review — Request to see any personal information we have collected from their child
● Delete — Request that we delete their child's personal information from our records
● Refuse further collection — Direct us to stop collecting any additional information from their child.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@gregwayne.org We will respond promptly — when it comes to the safety of children, there is no acceptable delay.
● We will never condition a child's participation in any ministry activity, game, prayer group, or online event on the child providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for that activity.
● We will never sell, rent, or trade a child's personal information. Not now. Not ever.
● We will never share a child's information with third parties except as strictly necessary for the internal operations of our ministry — for example, a hosting provider that stores our website data. Any such provider is bound by confidentiality obligations and is prohibited from using children's data for any other purpose.
If we learn or have reason to believe that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without proper verifiable parental consent, we will act immediately. We will delete that information from our systems as promptly as possible. If you believe we may have inadvertently collected information from a child, please notify us right away at privacy@gregwayne.org so we can take swift action.
We welcome young people ages 13 through 15 to engage with our ministry online. However, under our internal ministry standard, these young people receive enhanced protections that go beyond what federal law requires for their age group. This includes:
● Heightened data minimization — we collect even less information from this age group and only what is directly needed.
● Additional review before any communications are sent to young people in this range
● Encouragement for parents and guardians to remain actively involved in their young person's online
engagement with our ministry
We are committed to ensuring that every child and young person who interacts with our ministry is protected, and that parents and guardians can engage with confidence in our standards.
We are direct and unequivocal on this point:
Our Position on Data Sales
We never sell your personal information. Period. Full stop. We never rent it. We never trade it. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information under any circumstances.
That said, we do work with a limited number of trusted service providers who help us carry out the work of ministry. These partners may have access to certain personal information, but only to the extent necessary to perform their services for us. Here is who they are and what they do:
Category of Service Provider
Payment Processing
Securely processes donations and financial transactions on our behalf. We do not directly store your full payment card details.
Email Delivery
Delivers newsletters, devotionals, and ministry communications to your inbox.
Website Analytics
Helps us understand how visitors use our websites so we can improve our services.
Cloud Hosting
Provides the secure server infrastructure where our websites and data are stored.
Every one of these providers is bound by strict confidentiality agreements. They are permitted to use your information only for the specific purpose of serving our ministry and are prohibited from using it for their own marketing or any other purpose.
In rare circumstances, we may be required to disclose personal information:
● Legal obligation — If required by law, regulation, or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena)
● Safety — If we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of any person or to prevent illegal activity
We take these situations seriously and will always seek to protect your information to the greatest extent the law allows.
We may occasionally use or share aggregated, non-identifying information for ministry planning purposes — for example, noting that a certain number of visitors accessed our devotional page during a particular month. This information cannot be used to identify any individual person.
Cookies are small data files used by websites to improve functionality and user experience. This section explains how we use them and the choices available to you.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit. Cookies help the website remember things about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you are logged in — so that your experience is smoother and more convenient the next time you return.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for our websites to function properly. Without them, certain features — such as forms or secure pages — may not work correctly.
Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our websites — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. This information is used only to improve our ministry's online presence.
Preference Cookies
These remember your choices — such as language or display preferences — so you do not have to set them again each time you visit.
We do not use cookies for targeted advertising. We do not use cookies to build marketing profiles about you. We do not sell cookie data to anyone.
You have control over cookies. Most web browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu. Please be aware that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our websites — for example, forms may not submit properly, or your preferences may not be remembered.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. These measures operate across multiple layers:
● Limited access — Only authorized personnel who require access to personal information to perform their duties are granted that access. Access is restricted on a need-to-know basis.
● Training — Those who do handle personal information are trained on privacy responsibilities and the importance of confidentiality.
● Regular policy review — We periodically review and update our security practices to ensure they reflect current best practices.
● Encryption — Sensitive data, especially financial and donation information, is encrypted during transmission using industry-standard encryption protocols (such as SSL/TLS).
● Secure hosting — Our websites and data are hosted on secure servers maintained by reputable providers with strong security track records.
● Access controls — We use password protection, authentication measures, and other technical controls to prevent unauthorized access.
● Any physical documents containing personal information are stored securely and access is restricted to authorized personnel.
No system — no matter how carefully designed — is perfectly secure. The internet carries inherent risks, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We are committed to implementing and maintaining robust security measures and to responding decisively to any identified vulnerabilities.
In the unlikely event that a data breach occurs that compromises your personal information, we will act swiftly and responsibly. We will notify affected individuals promptly, take immediate steps to contain and remediate the breach, and cooperate fully with any applicable regulatory requirements. You will not be left in the dark.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by applicable law. Our retention periods are as follows:
Type of Information - Financial Records
Retention Period - 7 years
Donation and financial records
Retained as required by federal and state tax law — typically seven (7) years — to ensure proper reporting and compliance.
Prayer requests and pastoral communications
Retained only as long as needed for ongoing pastoral care. Once the pastoral purpose has been fulfilled, these records are securely deleted.
Newsletter and communication preferences
Retained as long as your subscription is active. Upon unsubscribing, your information is removed from our mailing lists.
Website analytics data
Retained in aggregated, non-identifying form. Individual-level data is not retained beyond what is necessary for analysis.
Event registration information
Retained for the duration of the event and a reasonable period afterward for follow-up, then securely deleted.
When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with any individual. We do not simply discard data carelessly — we ensure it is properly and permanently removed.
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time (see Section 10 below), subject to any legal retention requirements that may apply.
You have the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Access
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, and we will provide a clear and complete answer.
Right to Correction
If any information we have about you is inaccurate or outdated, you can ask us to correct it, and we will do so promptly.
Right to Deletion
You can ask us to delete your personal information from our records. We will honor this request unless we are required by law to retain certain data (such as tax-related donation records).
Right to Opt Out
You can unsubscribe from our newsletters, devotionals, and ministry communications at any time. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe option.
Right to Withdraw Consent
If you previously gave us consent to process your information for a specific purpose, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect any processing that took place before you withdrew.
To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us at:
Email: privacy@gregwayne.org
We will acknowledge your request and respond within thirty (30) days. If we need additional time due to the complexity of your request, we will let you know and explain why.
We will never retaliate against anyone for exercising their privacy rights. We will never treat you differently, reduce our services to you, or penalize you in any way because you asked a question about your data, requested a correction, or chose to delete your information. Exercising your rights will not affect your access to our ministry or services.
Our websites may contain links to other websites, platforms, or online services that are not operated by us. For example, we might link to a Bible resource, a partner organization, or a news article. When you click on a third-party link and leave our website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any third-party websites. Third-party sites may have data collection and privacy practices that differ significantly from ours. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any website you visit before providing personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When updates occur, we will follow these procedures:
● The updated policy will be posted on our websites with a new effective date clearly noted at the top of the document.
● For significant changes— particularly those that affect how we collect, use, or share your personal information — we will provide additional notice. This may come in the form of an email notification to those on our mailing list, a prominent announcement on our website, or both.
● All material changes will be communicated to affected users before they take effect.
Your continued use of our websites and online services after a revised policy is posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We began this policy with a word about stewardship, and we want to close with one as well. The Bible teaches that those who are faithful in small things will be entrusted with greater things. Your personal information may seem like a small thing in the grand scope of all that God is doing — but to us, it is a trust that we refuse to take for granted.
Every name on our prayer list, every email address in our system, every generous gift recorded in our files represents a person — someone created in the image of God, someone worthy of dignity, care, and protection. That is how we see you, and that is why we have written this policy with such intention. We are not merely checking a legal box. We are honoring the people who make this ministry possible — people like you.
Thank you for reading this policy. Thank you for trusting us. And thank you for being part of what God is doing through Greg Wayne Ministries and House of God's Wisdom Church. We do not take your presence — or your trust — for granted.
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace." — Numbers 6:24–26
