We collect personal information in limited situations where you voluntarily provide it to us:

  • Email Newsletter Subscriptions: When you sign up for our email newsletter, we collect your name and email address to send you updates, educational materials, and organizational announcements.

  • Donor & Transaction Information: When you make a donation through the Site, our payment processing platform collects information necessary to process your contribution and issue an official tax receipt. This may include your name, email address, physical mailing address, phone number, and donation amount.

All online financial transactions and donations are processed securely through our third-party non-profit donation partner, Zeffy (Zeffy.com).

  • Cardholder Security: Christians Teaching Christians does not collect, process, or store credit card numbers, bank account details, or payment credentials on our website servers. Financial entries are transmitted with SSL/TLS encryption directly to Zeffy.

We only share data with essential third parties under the following conditions:

  • Service Providers: We share necessary information with trusted third-party providers (such as Zeffy for payment processing and Mailchimp for email delivery) who assist us in operating our mission. These providers are bound to keep your data confidential and secure.
