The Big Tent Church (“The Big Tent Church,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit bigtentchurch.com (the “Website”), contact us, subscribe to updates, or interact with content and services available through the Website.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:
- your name and email address;
- the contents of messages submitted through a contact form or sent by email;
- newsletter or mailing-list subscription information; and
- any other information you choose to include in a message.
Please do not submit confidential medical, financial, identification, or other highly sensitive information through the Website. If you include personal or sensitive details in a prayer request or other message, we will use those details only to respond to or fulfill the purpose of your request, except as otherwise described in this Policy or required by law.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Website, our website host, security tools, and other service providers may automatically receive technical information such as:
- your Internet Protocol (IP) address;
- browser, device, and operating-system information;
- pages viewed, referring pages, and links clicked;
- approximate location derived from an IP address; and
- dates, times, and other information about your interaction with the Website.
This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website;
- respond to messages, questions, and requests;
- send updates or newsletters that you request;
- understand how visitors use the Website;
- prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- comply with legal obligations; and
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to make pages function, remember preferences, protect forms, measure Website activity, and display embedded content.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect Website functionality. If we later introduce analytics, advertising, or other nonessential tracking that requires consent under applicable law, we will update our notices and consent tools as appropriate.
4. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services
The Website may contain embedded content or links provided by third parties. These services may collect information directly from your browser, place cookies, or receive information when you interact with their content. Depending on which features are active, these providers may include:
- Substack, for email subscriptions or embedded publications;
- YouTube, for videos;
- Suno, for music or audio;
- Elementor and related WordPress tools, for Website forms and functionality;
- Gumroad or Payhip, for products, downloads, or payments;
- LANDR and other music or artist platforms; and
- our website hosting, security, email, and technical-service providers.
A link to another website does not mean that we control that website. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Purchases made through a third-party platform are processed by that platform; we do not intend to collect or store full payment-card details on this Website.
5. When We Share Information
We may disclose information:
- to service providers that help us operate the Website, process forms, deliver communications, host content, or maintain security;
- when you ask us to or consent to the disclosure;
- when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or a lawful government request;
- to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of visitors, The Big Tent Church, or others; or
- in connection with a reorganization, transfer, or succession of the Website or its operations.
We do not sell personal information. We do not currently use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. If our practices change, we will update this Policy and provide any choices required by applicable law.
6. Email Communications
If you subscribe to updates, we may use the email address you provide to send the requested communications. You may unsubscribe using the link in an email or by contacting us. We may still send non-promotional messages when reasonably necessary to respond to a request or administer a service you requested.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed primarily to children under 13. Children may view publicly available content, but a child under 13 should not submit a contact form, join an email list, make a purchase, or otherwise provide personal information through the Website without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without legally required parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to requests, maintaining records, protecting the Website, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information under our control. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, however.
10. Your Choices and Requests
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information. You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we maintain about you, or to withdraw consent where our processing is based on consent.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where permitted or required by law. You may also unsubscribe from email communications and control cookies using the methods described above.
11. Visitors Outside the United States
The Big Tent Church is based in Washington State, United States. If you access the Website from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or in other places where our service providers operate, subject to applicable law.
