Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

ACME Fellowship of Churches ("ACME," "we," "our," or "us") is a church fellowship network dedicated to uniting churches for the Great Commission. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website at acmefellowship.org.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily:

• Name, church name, and contact information submitted through membership inquiry forms

Information collected automatically:

We do not collect payment information directly. Any conference registration or giving transactions are handled by third-party processors under their own privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers who assist us in operating the website or conducting our ministry (e.g., email platforms, event registration tools), bound by confidentiality agreements
• Legal compliance, if required by law, court order, or governmental authority
• Church network purposes, such as connecting member churches — only with your knowledge and consent

5. Cookies and Tracking

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Section 8).

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the right to:

• Access or correct the personal information we hold about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any email
