Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 18, 2026

Jessamine Christian Church (“JCC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information with care, integrity, and respect. 

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect through our website and digital services, how we use that information, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

By using our website or voluntarily providing information through our forms and digital services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Our Commitment to You

We believe the information you entrust to us should be treated responsibly.

JCC does not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We take reasonable measures to protect the information entrusted to us and use it for legitimate church, ministry, administrative, and communication purposes.

Information We Collect

When you subscribe, register, make purchases, or fill out a form on our applications, JCC collects and stores personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, postal mailing address, and/or telephone number. JCC may also collect this and other types of personal information during the course of engaging with you, for example when you wish to obtain goods or services from JCC, when you register for events, and when you participate in JCC activities.

Information Collected Automatically

There is also non-personal information about your computer/device hardware and software that JCC automatically collects. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide for the purposes for which it was originally collected, for example, to respond to your email or to provide the programs or services you requested. We may also use this information to help us improve the content and functionality of our website, to tailor the experience and content to the user’s needs, to better understand the needs and interests of the people and organizations that use our website, and improve our programs and services.

JCC does not sell, rent, or lease its people lists to third parties. From time to time, JCC may contact you on behalf of external strategic partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, JCC may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, or provide support. Such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to JCC, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Email & Other Communications

If you subscribe to email updates or otherwise provide your contact information to JCC, we may use it to communicate with you about church life, ministries, events, opportunities, and other relevant information.

You may unsubscribe from general or promotional email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

Certain administrative communications related to something you have specifically requested or participated in, such as an event registration, group, serving team, or giving activity, may still be necessary.

Prayer Requests & Sensitive Information

We understand that prayer requests and pastoral conversations may contain personal or sensitive information. When you submit a prayer request or other personal information to JCC, we make reasonable efforts to handle that information with care and discretion.

Prayer requests may be shared with appropriate JCC pastors, staff members, ministry leaders, or prayer team members for the purpose of prayer and pastoral care. Please use discretion when submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through general website forms.

Children & Student Information

We care deeply about protecting children and students entrusted to our ministry. Information about children or minors may be collected when a parent or legal guardian registers a child for JCC Kids, JCC Students, events, programs, or other ministry activities.

We may use this information for legitimate ministry purposes including check-in, attendance, communication, safety, emergency contact, program administration, and providing appropriate care. We do not knowingly use information collected about children through our website for commercial advertising purposes.

Parents or legal guardians who have questions or concerns about information associated with their child may contact JCC using the information below.

Online Giving & Payments

Online giving, event payments, and other financial transactions may be processed through trusted third-party service providers. Those providers may collect payment-card, banking, or other financial information necessary to complete your transaction. JCC does not necessarily receive or store complete payment-card or banking information submitted through those services.

Information processed by those providers is also subject to their respective privacy and security practices.

Third-Party Service Providers

JCC uses third-party platforms and service providers to help us operate our website and carry out ministry. These may include services related to website hosting, church management, event registration, online giving, email communication, forms, analytics, media, and other ministry functions.

We may provide these services with information reasonably necessary for them to perform services on our behalf. Information processed through a third-party platform may also be subject to that provider's privacy policy and terms.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party services when appropriate.

Photography & Video

JCC may capture photographs or video during worship gatherings, events, ministry activities, and other public or group settings. These images may be used to communicate the life and ministry of our church through our website, social media, printed materials, or other JCC communications.

We recognize that certain ministry environments require additional sensitivity and privacy. We seek to use discretion when photographing children, prayer and care environments, recovery ministries, and other situations where privacy may be especially important.

When additional permission is appropriate, particularly involving minors or situations where an individual is the primary subject, we may seek consent through registration forms, releases, or other means.

If you have a concern about an image of yourself or your child being used by JCC, please contact us.

Security of Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information entrusted to us from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We also rely on third-party providers to maintain appropriate security for information processed through their systems.

Legal Requirements & Safety

We may disclose personal information when required by law or when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or legal process.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect the rights or property of Jessamine Christian Church, prevent fraud or misuse of our services, or protect the health or safety of individuals or the public.

Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate administrative, financial, legal, safety, recordkeeping, or ministry purposes.

Our website may contain links to websites and digital services operated by organizations other than JCC.

This Privacy Policy applies to JCC's website and services and does not govern the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of other websites and services you choose to use.
