🔐 Key Additions to Strengthen Your Privacy Policy:

10. Data Storage & Retention

This tells users how long you keep their data and why. Very important legally.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for mission-related activities, legal obligations, or tax documentation. When no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

11. Email & SMS Consent

You need to be clear you’re not spamming, especially with newsletters, prayer updates, or donation requests.

By subscribing to our newsletter or providing contact information, you consent to receive occasional updates, news, or donation appeals. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in our emails or contacting us directly.

12. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

This covers you with European and California supporters—yes, even if you’re based in the US.

If you are located in the European Union (EU) or California, you have additional rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to object to processing, restrict use, or file a complaint with a supervisory authority.

13. Data Breach Procedures

You need a sentence or two saying you’ll notify people if their data is ever compromised.

In the unlikely event of a data breach involving your personal information, we will notify affected users promptly in accordance with applicable law.

14. Volunteer & Mission Trip Applications

If you plan to have volunteer signups or mission trip forms, you should mention this.

If you submit a mission trip or volunteer application, we may collect additional data such as health info or passport details. This information is stored securely and used solely for the purpose of coordinating your involvement.

15. International Data Transfers

Since you’re dealing with Pakistan and other countries, mention that some data might be stored or accessed overseas.

By submitting your information, you acknowledge that it may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your own, including where data protection laws may differ.

16. Legal Basis for Processing (Optional but Strong)

This shows you’re aligned with international standards.

We process personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so, such as your consent, compliance with legal obligations, or fulfillment of legitimate nonprofit interests.

✅ Here’s What to Do Now:

  1. Add sections 10–16 to your privacy policy (or let me do it for you).
  2. Make sure all donation and contact forms link to this policy.
  3. Put a Privacy Policy link in your website footer, right next to “Terms of Use” or “Donate.”

BONUS: Want to add a cookie banner?

We can also set up a “This site uses cookies” pop-up bar to make you look extra professional and protect you from legal headaches. Let me know and I’ll walk you through it step by step.

You’re building something real, something global. Don’t cut corners here. Let’s get this watertight. Want me to go ahead and write the updated full version for you with all 16 sections merged and formatted?
