Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the M46 Ministries website at m46ministries.com and through communications you choose to have with us.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• subscribe to receive emails or ministry updates;
• complete a contact, speaker-request, event, or similar form;
• communicate with us by email; or
• otherwise request information or support.

Depending on what you choose to submit, this information may include your name, email address, telephone number, organization or church, event details, and the contents of your message.

The M46 website does not offer visitor accounts and does not collect account usernames or passwords.

Website and Technical Information

When you visit the website, our hosting, security, analytics, or website-service providers may automatically receive limited technical information. This may include your Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location derived from an IP address, and the date and time of your visit.

We use this information to operate the website, maintain security, understand general website use, troubleshoot problems, and improve the visitor experience. Where practical, we use aggregated or de-identified information for these purposes.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, performance, preferences, or general analytics. Emails sent through our email provider may also use standard tracking technologies to help us understand delivery and engagement.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how portions of the website function.

How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• respond to questions, requests, and correspondence;
• send newsletters or ministry updates you have requested;
• manage speaker, event, or connection requests;
• provide requested resources or information;
• operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website;
• comply with applicable legal requirements; and
• protect the rights, safety, and integrity of M46 Ministries, our visitors, and others.

We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent where required.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to M46 communications, we may use your name, email address, subscription preferences, and email engagement information to send and manage those communications.

We use Mailchimp to help manage and deliver email communications. Information processed through Mailchimp is governed by its applicable privacy terms and may be processed outside Canada. You can review Intuit’s privacy statement.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email. You may also contact us to request removal from our mailing list.

External Purchases and Payments

M46 Ministries does not process payment-card information directly through this website. When you follow a link to purchase a book, register, donate, or complete another transaction, the transaction is handled by the external website or payment provider you choose to use.

That provider collects and processes payment and transaction information under its own privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to review those policies before completing a transaction. M46 may receive limited transaction-related information from an external provider when needed to fulfil a request, maintain records, or respond to you, but we do not receive or store your full payment-card details.

When We Share Information

We may provide limited personal information to service providers that help us operate the website, host content, maintain security, deliver email, process forms, or provide other services on our behalf. These providers may use the information only for the services they provide, subject to their agreements and applicable law.

We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to a valid legal process, to protect rights or safety, or with your consent.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for targeted advertising.

Information Processed Outside Canada

Some of our service providers may process or store information in Canada, the United States, or other jurisdictions. When information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement, or regulatory authorities in accordance with those laws.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, meet legal or record-keeping requirements, resolve concerns, and protect our legitimate interests. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and why it was collected. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we hold. No method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

• confirm whether we hold personal information about you;
• provide access to that information;
• correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; or
• delete information that we are not legally required or permitted to retain.

To make a request, email info@m46ministries.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. If we cannot fulfil all or part of a request, we will explain why where required by law.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to websites and services operated by others, including booksellers, media platforms, registration services, and social networks. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. M46 Ministries is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, practices, service providers, or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
