Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 3, 2026

Anchor Church (“Anchor,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share personal information when you visit our website, use Church Center or Planning Center forms, submit a Meta/Facebook/Instagram lead form, register for an event, plan a visit, or otherwise contact us.

Information We Collect

Depending on the form or activity, we may collect:

  • Name, email address, phone number, and household information

  • Information you choose to provide through forms, registrations, connect cards, prayer requests, or messages

  • Event, ministry, class, and childcare-interest information, including children’s ages when a parent or guardian provides it

  • Plan Your Visit details, attendance information, and follow-up preferences

  • Advertising and referral information, such as whether you found us through Facebook, Instagram, our website, a mailer, or another campaign

  • Limited technical information collected through our website or advertising platforms, such as device, browser, page activity, cookies, and advertising identifiers

Please do not submit sensitive medical, financial, government-ID, or other highly confidential information through public forms unless we specifically ask for it.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to questions and requests

  • Help people plan a visit, register for events, and connect with ministries

  • Communicate about classes, events, services, and opportunities at Anchor Church

  • Provide appropriate hospitality, childcare planning, and follow-up

  • Maintain church records and improve our ministry communications

  • Measure the effectiveness of outreach and advertising

  • Protect the security and integrity of our systems

We may contact you by email, phone, or text when you provide that information and it is relevant to your request or relationship with Anchor Church. You may opt out of non-essential email or text communications at any time.

How We Share Information

Anchor Church does not sell personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our ministry and communications, including services used for online forms, church records, event registrations, automation, website operation, email, and advertising. These may include Meta, Planning Center/Church Center, and Make.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the safety or rights of people or property, or with your permission.

Meta, Facebook, and Instagram

When you interact with our Meta ads or submit a Meta instant form, Meta may collect and process information under its own privacy policies. Information you submit to Anchor through a Meta form may be transferred into our church records system for ministry follow-up.

We may use Meta’s advertising tools, including the Meta Pixel, to measure outreach, understand ad performance, and show relevant Anchor Church communications. You can manage advertising preferences through your Meta account and browser settings.

Children’s Information

Our online forms are intended for adults. A parent or guardian may provide limited information about a child, such as age or childcare needs, when registering for an event or requesting childcare. We use that information only for ministry, event, and childcare planning unless otherwise explained.

Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information. No system can guarantee complete security, so please use care when sharing information online.

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for church ministry, communication, legal, recordkeeping, security, and operational purposes.

Your Choices and Requests

You may request to review, correct, update, or ask us to delete personal information we hold about you, subject to applicable legal and ministry-recordkeeping requirements. You may also ask us to stop non-essential communications.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will be posted on our website with its effective date.
