Privacy Policy

The Moravian Ministries Foundation in America (MMFA) is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This privacy policy clearly and easily explains our privacy practices. It is maintained and made public on our website, mmfa.com. If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact us.

We may occasionally update this policy, so we encourage you to check back periodically. If we significantly change our collection, use, or disclosure practices, we will notify you if you have provided us with an email address.

What information do we collect from you?

We collect both personal and non-personal information. Personal information may include your name, email address, donation history, or church affiliation. Non-personal information includes data like your IP address or browser type. We gather information when you or your church provides it through online forms, updates from the Moravian Interprovincial Board of Communication (IBOC), and during your interactions with our website.

How do we use your information?

We use the information we collect to serve you and support the mission of the Moravian Church. Your information helps us communicate about our services, improve your website experience, facilitate secure donations, and distribute resources such as the Moravian Magazine through IBOC. Additionally, we may use anonymized or aggregated data for internal reporting and planning.

Who is collecting the information?

Unless otherwise stated in this policy, MMFA and our authorized service providers are the only parties collecting and accessing your information. We treat this information with care and confidentiality.

With whom does MMFA share your information?

We will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except with your permission, when required by law, for security and compliance, or to service providers working on our behalf. We may also disclose information to third-party partners in a blinded or aggregated form that does not identify individuals.

How can you control your personal information?

You may request to view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time by contacting our office. You can also manage how much data is collected from you by adjusting your browser’s privacy settings or using tools like Google’s opt-out settings.

What security precautions are in place?

We use encryption in designated areas of our website. We use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your information in our system. Because information sent through the Internet travels from computer to computer worldwide, when you give us information, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

What else should you know about using the MMFA website?

Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t need to re-enter them. Login pages set temporary cookies to determine browser compatibility, and additional cookies may store login credentials or display preferences. These cookies expire at varying intervals depending on their purpose.

Our website may also include embedded content from other websites, such as videos or maps. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction, particularly if you have an account with them and are logged in.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email. Comments and their associated metadata may be retained indefinitely to facilitate follow-up interactions. If you register an account, your information is stored in your user profile and can be viewed, edited, or deleted by you at any time (except for usernames). Website administrators also have access to that information.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, information provided through the website may be transmitted to servers outside your country, depending on the technologies used.
