CGR has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy concerns of users of our site and to disclose our information gathering and dissemination practices. Except for the purposes set forth herein, CGR will never sell or transfer your personal information to any unaffiliated person for any reason without your consent.
Personal and Non-Personal Information
When using our website (“HealthyChurchTools.com”), you may be asked to provide certain personal information about yourself for the purposes of purchasing, responding to a survey, etc. In general, CGR will only use this information to comply with the purpose for which such information was requested. CGR may, from time to time, use this information to send you information about products and services offered by CGR. CGR will not share with or rent, sell or lease your personal information to any unaffiliated person or entity without your express consent. At any time you may revoke this consent by contacting us, and we will delete your data in compliance with all regulations including GDPR (which includes your “right to be forgotten”).
We may also request and collect non-personally identifiable information about you, such as gender, age, hobbies, or buying preferences. We may use this data to improve our site and to send you information that may be of interest to you. We may use this data to enhance your experience at our site, showing you content and promotional messages that we think you might be interested in, based on your preferences. We may also share this information with others, such as advertisers interested in advertising on the HealthyChurchTools.com website, in aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the information will not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any other person.
The HealthyChurchTools.com website contains individualized records, text and data for client churches. No church can see or edit any other church’s information unless expressly give permission to do so.
The individual church information is used by the system to create aggregate totals used with benchmarks and survey totals. We may use a church's individual data for research purposes, but the information will not contain any identifiable information about the church.
If a church has agreed to be part of a consultation group, that church’s information may be used for comparison purposes within the consulting group but only under the direct supervision of an affiliate or consultant authorized by CGR.
All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
