The Pentecostals of Manhattan (“POM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website https://pomchurch.life (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you understand how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect via our website, mobile applications, and during our in-person services or events. By using our Site or attending our services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

B. Financial Information

If you choose to donate to POM via the Site, we (or our third-party payment processors) collect payment information such as credit/debit card details or bank account information. We do not store full credit card numbers on our own servers. All financial transactions are processed through secure, PCI-compliant third-party providers.

When you visit pomchurch.life, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including:

  • IP address and browser type.
  • Device type (mobile vs. desktop).
  • Pages visited and time spent on the Site.

We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site functionality and analyze web traffic. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Ministry Communication: To contact you regarding your visit, prayer requests, or upcoming events.
  • Service Facilitation: To check your children into Children’s Ministry securely or coordinate Connection Groups.
  • Processing Donations: To process your gifts and issue end-of-year giving statements for tax purposes.
  • Site Improvement: To analyze user trends and improve the website experience.

4. Photography, Video, and Livestream Policy

Please be aware that our services and events are often photographed, video-recorded, and livestreamed.

By attending The Pentecostals of Manhattan or entering our facilities, you acknowledge that you may be photographed or filmed. You grant POM permission to use your likeness in:

  • Livestreams of services (YouTube, Facebook, etc.).
  • Promotional materials (website, social media, printed flyers).
  • Archived sermon videos.

If you have serious privacy concerns (e.g., for safety or security reasons) regarding being filmed, please contact a greeter or usher upon arrival so we can seat you in a “blind spot” if available.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We use trusted third-party companies to help us operate (e.g., church management software, email services like Mailchimp/Constant Contact, and payment processors). These partners have access to personal information only to perform their specific tasks and are obligated to keep it confidential.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal processes or protect the rights and safety of our congregation.

6. Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important.

  • Online: We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13 without parental consent.
  • In-Person: Information collected regarding children (for nursery or Sunday School check-in) is used strictly for security and ministry purposes and is accessible only to authorized staff and volunteers.

7. Security of Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt data during transmission. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

8. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to other websites (e.g., YouTube, Facebook, Instagram). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you visit.

9. Changes to This Policy
