Morning Star Christian Church ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website ms.church (the "Site"). This policy applies only to information collected through this website and does not apply to information collected offline or through in-person church activities.
Please read this privacy policy carefully. By using the Site and submitting information through our contact form, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
When you use our contact form (powered by Jotform), you may voluntarily provide us with personal information, including but not limited to:
This information is collected for the purpose of potentially responding to your inquiries, facilitating communication regarding church activities, services, or prayer requests, and sending you promotional materials about our church including newsletters, event announcements, and ministry updates via email and text message. Please note: Submitting information through our contact form does not obligate us to respond or take any action. See our Terms of Service for details.
Sensitive Information Warning: Please do not submit sensitive personal information (such as medical details, financial information, or other confidential data) through our contact form unless you choose to share it. If you include such information (for example, in a prayer request), you understand it may be viewed by church staff and volunteers who handle these requests.
Who Receives Your Information: When you submit information through our contact form, it is stored in Jotform, emailed to church staff at our church email address, and may be accessed by authorized church members and volunteers for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or fulfilling ministry-related activities (such as outreach drives).
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand overall traffic and website performance. These services are designed to be privacy-focused. The data collected may include:
Vercel states that these analytics tools are designed so recorded data points are anonymous and not tied to an individual visitor or IP address, and they do not enable reconstruction of a person's browsing session across pages. Sessions are short-lived and discarded after 24 hours. For more details, please review Vercel's Analytics Privacy Policy.
Note on Cookies: While Vercel Analytics does not use cookies, our Site may include third-party embedded content (such as YouTube videos) that may set their own cookies when loaded. See the "Third-Party Services" section below for more information.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Consent: Our contact form requires you to agree to receive church updates by email and text message before submission. By checking the required consent boxes and submitting the form, you expressly consent to receiving communications from Morning Star Christian Church at the email address and phone number you provide. Standard message and data rates may apply to text messages. Message frequency varies. Consent to receive messages is not a condition of attending church services or receiving ministry support.
Opt-Out: You may opt out of communications at any time. See the "Your Rights" section below for opt-out instructions. Reply HELP to any text message for assistance.
Access Controls: Access to your personal information is limited to church staff and authorized volunteers who need it to respond to your inquiry or fulfill ministry-related activities.
Our contact form is powered by Jotform. Jotform processes form submissions on our behalf. When you submit information through our form, it is stored by Jotform and also emailed to our church staff. Jotform maintains industry-standard security measures. For more information, please review Jotform's Privacy Policy.
Our website is hosted on Vercel, which also provides our analytics services. Vercel Web Analytics is designed to be privacy-focused and does not use cookies. For more information, please review Vercel's Analytics Privacy Policy.
Our Site contains embedded YouTube videos. Please note: Our website is designed to automatically display and play YouTube videos at scheduled times during the week (for example, during our regular service times). When these videos load or play—whether automatically or by your interaction—YouTube may collect information and set cookies in accordance with their privacy policy.
YouTube Data Collection: When YouTube videos are loaded on our Site, YouTube/Google may collect:
Privacy-Enhanced Mode: Where possible, we utilize YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed mode (youtube-nocookie.com) to minimize tracking. In this mode, YouTube states that it does not store information about visitors on your website unless they play the video. However, once a video is played, standard YouTube data collection applies.
Your Controls: You can manage YouTube/Google cookies and tracking through your browser settings or by visiting Google's Ad Settings. You may also use browser extensions that block third-party cookies or trackers. Note that blocking cookies may affect video playback functionality.
While our website analytics (Vercel) do not use cookies, embedded YouTube videos may set their own cookies and trackers when loaded. For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy.
Our Site contains links to third-party social media platforms. When you click on these links, you will be directed to external websites that are not operated by us. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these platforms:
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Important: Even though our own analytics do not use cookies, third-party embedded content (such as YouTube videos and the Jotform contact form) may collect data and set cookies independently. We cannot control or monitor this third-party data collection.
Contact Form Submissions: Form submissions are retained in Jotform and our email records for as long as needed for ministry purposes and church recordkeeping. We periodically review stored data and delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed. If you would like your information deleted sooner, please contact us using the information below.
Analytics Data: Analytics data is retained in accordance with Vercel's data retention policies and is used solely for aggregated statistical purposes.
Backups: Please note that your information may also exist in routine backups, which are retained for operational and security purposes.
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order, subpoena, or government request). We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes:
However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked.
