• We may use or share your data where it is necessary to complete a transaction, to operate or improve the Services, to do something that you have asked us to do, or tell you of products and services that we think may be of interest. By requesting us to provide the Services to you, you consent to us using such personal data as may be necessary to do so, including the use of mobile phone numbers provided by you to facilitate sending and receiving of text messages, and you warrant that you are authorised to share such personal data with us.
• If you are an existing customer, we will only contact you by electronic means (email or SMS) with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale or negotiations of a sale to you. If you are a new customer, and where we permit selected third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this. If you do not want us to use your data in this way, or to pass your details on to third parties for marketing purposes, please put a check mark in the relevant box which can be found on the form on which we collect your data.

• Where you are contacted with an offer or service based on information you have shared with us, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving such further communications at the time you are contacted. However, in connection with any Services you request (for which you have paid a fee), we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to those Services, such as service announcements, and administrative messages, that are considered part of your Confirmed.Church account, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them.
• We may share data about you when:
  • Required by any regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
  • Operating our business, as necessary, with our service providers, contractors and vendors.
  • Responding to court orders, or legal process, to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims and if in our judgement in such circumstances disclosure is required or appropriate.

• As we continue to develop our business, we may also buy or sell all or part of our business. In such transactions, data you have shared with us is generally one of the business assets that will be transferred, and you hereby consent to such transfer.

Data Transfer

• In order to provide the Services you request, it may be necessary for your data to be transferred to and stored by mobile network operators, telecommunications providers or other organisations in countries outside America (“the US”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the US who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. Confirmed.Church will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the US and we offer no assurances that your data will be protected as set out in this policy.
• All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
• Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information , we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Confidentiality and Security

Security for all personally-identifiable information (including all cell phone numbers, texts, messages and other data) is our priority. However, no data transmissions can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we take reasonable measures to secure it on our systems and do so in accordance with our Security Policy.
