Protecting your personal information

Some pages on our site request and collect information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you personally. The information you provide to the United Methodist Church in Mozambique may be tabulated for statistical purposes and these results may be provided to others, but except as otherwise stated in this Policy, you will never be individually identified in these results. The data may be used to inform you about events and activities in which we think you may be interested, or it may be used to look out for opportunities to support the work of the Mozambique Episcopal Area of the United Methodist Church. We may also use the data to evaluate our programs and design future offerings.

As part of the operations of the United Methodist Church in Mozambique, it and its affiliated entities may collect various forms of data from individuals and local churches, including, without limitation, names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, employment histories, financial information, and other sensitive information. The United Methodist Church in Mozambique website, however, will only collect personal information that you knowingly and voluntarily provided. While the collected information is primarily used for the purposes specified on the submission page, we may add this information to our records and use it to enhance our services and for future contact with you.

Neither The United Methodist Church in Mozambique nor any of its affiliated entities will share or distribute any data you provided with other organizations or individuals, except when required by law. The United Methodist Church in Mozambique may, however, share some limited data (local church contact information, including current pastor and names of current local church officials) in spreadsheet format with the final beneficiaries of each Project.

We may also contact you to provide information about activities, programs, or special events that we believe may be of interest to you. When we send you this information via email, you will always have an immediate opportunity to modify the frequency or decline any further such communications.

While we may provide aggregated data for reporting purposes and/or compliance with nonprofit standards, your personal information will not be identifiable in such data, except as otherwise described in this Policy. Except as described in this Policy, The United Methodist Church in Mozambique does not rent, sell, loan, or otherwise provide mailing lists, phone numbers, mailing addresses, or email addresses to other individuals or organizations.
