Privacy Policy

At Sonrise Christian Church, we are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use information on our website. This Privacy Policy explains what data is gathered when you visit sonrisechurch.net and how it is used. We do not sell your personal information, and we use the data we collect only to improve your experience and our ministry outreach.

1. Information We Collect

When you visit our website, certain information is automatically collected through tools we use to understand how people find and use our site. This may include:

• The pages you visit and how long you spend on them
• The general geographic region you are visiting from (city or region level — not your specific address)
• The type of device and browser you are using
• How you arrived at our site (for example, from a search engine or a link)

We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide it to us directly — for example, by filling out a contact form or signing up for a church communication.

2. Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help us understand how visitors interact with our site. These cookies do not identify you personally. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of our site may not function as intended.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how our website is being used. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, which pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to arriving. We use this information to improve our website and better serve our congregation and community.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. The data is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

For more information on how Google uses data from sites that use their services, please visit: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

4. Information You Provide Directly

If you submit a contact form, prayer request, or sign up for any communication through our website, we collect the information you provide (such as your name and email address) solely for the purpose of responding to you or communicating with you about church life. We do not share this information with outside organizations or use it for commercial purposes.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as social media platforms, streaming services, or other ministry resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies when you visit them.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
