Calvary Church (“Calvary,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect information in connection with our website, online services, mobile applications, ministries, programs, and events.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect both online (through toledocalvary.org and related digital channels) and offline (through paper forms, in-person events, and other ministry interactions), unless a separate notice or consent form is provided to you at the point of collection.
By using our website, providing information through our forms, participating in our programs, or otherwise interacting with us, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy.

We collect only the information necessary to operate our ministries, communicate with the people we serve, and comply with applicable law. The categories of information we may collect include:

• Contact Information: name, postal address, email address, telephone number(s), and similar identifiers.
• Demographic and Family Information: age range, marital status, family relationships, household composition, and similar information voluntarily provided through Connection Cards, registration forms, or membership processes.
• Financial Information: bank account or payment card details when you make a donation, register for an event with a fee, or purchase materials. Calvary does not retain full payment card numbers, full bank account numbers, or card security codes; payment card processing is handled by our third-party merchant processor (Vanco) and the resulting transaction records are maintained in our church management system (Ministry Platform). Vanco is responsible for securing payment card information in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
• Health and Medical Information: limited health-related information you choose to provide for specific activities — for example, allergy information, emergency medical contacts, dietary needs, or accommodation requests submitted in connection with youth, camp, or event participation forms. This information is collected only for the safety and well-being of participants and is used solely for that purpose.
• Pastoral and Counseling Information: information shared with our pastors, ministers, or staff during pastoral care, counseling, prayer requests, or confidential ministry interactions. This information receives heightened protection (see Section 5).
• Volunteer and Background Information: information you provide when applying to serve in volunteer roles, including responses to volunteer applications and, where applicable, background-check information collected through our screening provider.
• Photographs, Audio, and Video: images and recordings captured during worship services, ministry events, and church activities. See Section 9.
• Technical Information: when you visit our website or use our digital services, we may automatically collect IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, and similar usage information.

We collect personal information in the following ways:

• Directly from you — when you fill out a Connection Card (online or paper), register for an event, sign up to volunteer, make a donation, attend a counseling session, or otherwise interact with us.
• Automatically — when you visit our website or use our digital services, through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 7).
• From third parties — for example, from event partners, ministry partners, or service providers (such as our church management system, giving platform, or background-check vendor) acting on our behalf or with your authorization.
