The Greatest Carpenter Church (“we”, “us”) operates this website from Nazareth, Israel / Palestine. We are a church, not a company. This page explains how we handle personal data when you visit the site, write to us, subscribe to updates or make a donation.
The data controller is The Greatest Carpenter Church, Nazareth, Israel / Palestine. You can reach us at the email address shown in the footer of every page.
Our website is a static informational site. We do not run accounts, log-ins or a members’ area.
Contact messages: when you send us a message we receive the name, email address and content you choose to provide.
Donations: when you donate, payment is handled by our third-party payment provider. We receive confirmation of the gift, the amount, the currency and any message you attach. We never see or store your full card number.
Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store the email address you give us.
Technical data: like most websites, our host may record basic, aggregated technical information (such as pages viewed) to keep the site secure and working. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
To reply to your messages, to process and acknowledge your donation, to send the updates you asked for, and to keep the site safe and functioning.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. We do not use it for advertising.
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent (for messages and newsletters), the performance of a request you made (processing a donation) and our legitimate interest in running a secure website.
You can withdraw consent at any time by writing to us or using the unsubscribe link in any update.
Card and online donations are processed by a third-party payment provider. That provider handles your card details under its own privacy policy, which we recommend you read before donating.
We may also use a reputable email or hosting provider to deliver messages and run the site. These providers only process data on our instructions.
The map on our story page is provided by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Loading it shares your IP address and basic device data with OpenStreetMap, as any embedded map does. It sets no advertising or tracking cookies.
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, and donation records for as long as accounting and tax rules require. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, write to us using the contact email in the footer.
You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. Because we and our providers may operate in different countries, your data may be transferred internationally. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards.
This site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the website.
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it last changed.
