Privacy Policy
How we handle your information, in plain language: what we collect, how we use it, and how to reach us.
Tayseer Seminary respects your privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect through our website and related services, how we use it, and how you can contact us with questions.
Information we collect
We may collect information you choose to provide, including:
- Name, email address, phone number, and mailing or event details submitted through contact, newsletter, audit, application, speaker request, or other forms.
- Text-message consent choices, including the consent language shown when you submit a form that asks for SMS permission.
- Donation-related information submitted through our donation provider. Payment card details are handled by the payment processor and are not stored on this website.
- Event registration details submitted through Ticket Tailor or other event platforms we use.
- Basic technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, pages visited, and timestamps, collected through hosting logs, security tools, analytics, or embedded third-party services.
How we use information
We use information to:
- Respond to inquiries and provide requested information.
- Process applications, audit requests, event registrations, donations, speaker requests, and newsletter subscriptions.
- Send updates about Tayseer Seminary programs, events, and community resources when you have requested or reasonably expect them.
- Send SMS or WhatsApp reminders and related updates only when you have opted in where the form provides that choice.
- Operate, protect, debug, and improve the website and related services.
- Comply with legal, accounting, safety, and administrative obligations.
Third-party services
Our website may use third-party services for donations, event ticketing, video embeds, maps, newsletters, feedback, forms, hosting, and security. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies. We aim to use only services that are necessary for operating the site and serving our community.
Cookies and similar technologies
The website itself is designed to be lightweight. Some embedded services may use cookies or similar technologies for payment, ticketing, video playback, fraud prevention, analytics, or session management. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.
SMS and messaging consent
Some forms may ask whether you agree to receive text messages from Tayseer Seminary. If you opt in, we may use your phone number to send messages about the specific request, class, event, reminder, or related update described on that form. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Consent is not required to submit a form, enroll, donate, or make a purchase. You may opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP and may request help by replying HELP.
How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, process donations, manage events, send email, run forms, maintain records, or provide security. We may also share information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or with your consent.
Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, including ministry, educational, operational, legal, accounting, and security needs. Retention periods may vary by record type.
Your choices
You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages when available. You may also contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or updates to personal information, subject to legal and operational limits.
Children
Some Tayseer Seminary programs serve youth and families. Parents or guardians should submit information for minors when required. If you believe a child provided personal information without appropriate permission, please contact us.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information through general contact forms unless requested through an appropriate channel.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
