We work with a small number of trusted technology providers to operate this website and communicate with you. These providers are permitted to use your information only to provide services to CTU:

• Resend — We use Resend to deliver email communications, including newsletter subscription confirmations and ministry updates. When you submit your name and email address through our website, that information is transmitted via Resend. You can review Resend's privacy practices at resend.com/privacy.
• Umami Analytics — We use Umami to understand how visitors use our website. Umami collects anonymized, aggregated data (such as pages visited and general traffic patterns) and does not use cookies or track individual users across sites. No personally identifiable information is collected by Umami. You can learn more at umami.is/privacy.
• Payment processors — If you make a donation, your payment information is processed by a third-party payment processor. CTU does not store your full credit card or bank account details.

If you provide your email address, we may use it to communicate about CTU's ministry, prayer updates, events, or giving opportunities. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no electronic system can be guaranteed completely secure. By using our website, you understand that information transmitted online carries some inherent risk.

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for ministry communication, donor records, legal compliance, tax reporting, and organizational recordkeeping.

Our website may link to third-party websites. CTU is not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal information.

Our website is not intended to collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If we become aware of such information collected unintentionally, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

You may contact us to:

• Update or correct your personal information

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
