Information we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Account information — name, email address, and password (or an email sign-in link instead of a password).
- Church / job listing information — church name, location, job details, contact info for the listing, and related form fields when a church posts or manages a job.
- Payment information — when a church pays for a listing, payment is processed by Stripe through our forms (Freeform). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
- Resume and profile information — contact details, ministry experience, LinkedIn or other links, sermon or video links, uploaded files (such as a résumé PDF), and similar content you choose to share so churches can evaluate a candidate.
- Favorites — jobs or resumes you save while signed in.
- Messages and support — information you send through contact forms or email.
- Technical and usage data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP, collected through server logs and analytics.
How we use information
- Operate and improve the website and job/resume marketplace.
- Publish and display job listings and resumes as intended by the people who submit them.
- Process payments for church job listings.
- Create and manage accounts, including password or email-link sign-in.
- Send transactional email (confirmations, magic sign-in links, listing notices) and, when you subscribe or otherwise consent, newsletters or updates. You can unsubscribe from marketing/newsletter emails.
- Prevent spam and abuse (including Cloudflare Turnstile on forms).
- Understand how the site is used (Google Analytics 4) so we can improve it.
- Comply with law and protect the rights and safety of users and Ministry Well.
How we share information
- We do not sell your personal information.
- Churches and ministers: Information you put on a public or shared listing/resume is visible to the audience that feature is meant for (for example, churches browsing resumes, or ministers viewing a job post).
- Service providers: We use trusted vendors to run the site, including hosting, email delivery (SendGrid), payments (Stripe), form handling (Freeform), spam protection (Cloudflare Turnstile), and analytics (Google Analytics 4). They may process data only to provide their services to us.
- Legal: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions (such as staying signed in), security, and analytics (GA4). Your browser settings can block or delete cookies; some features may not work if you do. Cloudflare Turnstile may set cookies or similar storage to distinguish people from bots.
We send email through SendGrid. That includes account and listing messages, and—when applicable—newsletters or campaign emails. Marketing or newsletter emails include an unsubscribe link. You can also email [email protected] to update preferences.
Data retention
We keep information as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Job listings and resumes may remain available for their published period and for a reasonable time afterward for records and support. You may ask us to delete your account or personal data as described below.
Your rights and choices
Subject to applicable law, you may request to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or ask questions about how we use it. Email [email protected] with your request. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling it. You can also update much of your own profile or listing information by signing in.
Children
Ministry Well is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date above and post the updated policy on this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
