Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Soldiers of Christ Ministries International (“SOCMI”) collects, uses, and protects personal information through this website.
Information we collect
Contact form: your name, email, optional phone, country, organization, and message, plus the topic you select.
Donations: the details required to process and acknowledge your gift, such as your name, email, and donation preferences. Payment card data is handled entirely by SOCMI's payment provider and is never received or stored by SOCMI.
Newsletter (optional): your email address, only if you opt in.
Analytics: aggregate, anonymized usage data. We never send form text, names, emails, phone numbers, payment references, or safeguarding topics to analytics.
Why we use your information
To respond to enquiries, assess support requests, process donations, send receipts, and — only with your consent — share updates. The lawful basis for each use will be confirmed as part of final legal review.
Service providers and international transfers
SOCMI works with trusted service providers for payment processing, email delivery, and hosting. Where these providers process data outside your country, SOCMI will put appropriate safeguards in place, to be documented in the approved version of this policy.
How long we keep your data
SOCMI retains personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, and in line with accounting and legal requirements. Specific retention periods will be confirmed with legal and accounting advice.
Security
SOCMI encrypts data in transit, limits access to authorized personnel, and never stores raw payment card data. Safeguarding and contact-form submissions are handled with extra care.
Cookies
This site uses only essential cookies required for it to function. If analytics cookies are introduced, they will be opt-in and disclosed here.
