Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 1st 2025 

5 Loaves & 2 Fish Global Ministry (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and stewardship in both mission and information-handling. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, protect, and otherwise process personal information in connection with our website, email communications, donation platforms, event registrations, and other digital or offline interactions.

By using our services or submitting your personal information, you acknowledge that you have read this policy and consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of information in accordance with this policy.

We operate from a foundation of Christian values. We believe that all resources entrusted to us—financial, physical, personal data—are sacred and should be governed by transparency, respect, and accountability. In the same way that the little that was given in the Gospel was multiplied in service and compassion, we steward the personal data you share with us as a trust. We commit that your data will be used only to further our mission of empowering women and children in Africa through health, education, economic opportunity, and protection, and will not be misused, sold, or exploited for unrelated commercial gain.

• Personal Information: Information that you provide directly, such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, payment/donation information, login credentials (if applicable), volunteer or partner registration data.
• Non-Personal (or De-Identified) Information: Information collected automatically (for example via cookies, analytics) such as IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, and other usage/behavioral data.
• Third-Party or Derived Information: We may receive data about you from third parties (e.g., publicly accessible information or service-providers) or derive new insights/analytics from the data we hold.

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

• Processing and fulfilling donations, payments, registrations, or subscriptions.
• Communicating with you about your inquiry, our ministry updates, newsletters, campaigns, events, volunteer opportunities, or partnerships (only if you have opted in or where permitted by law).
• Administering, improving, and securing our website, platforms, operations, and services (including fraud or abuse prevention).
• Compliance with legal obligations, responding to lawful requests by public authorities, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our ministry, our users, or others.
• Generating aggregate, de-identified data for analytic and reporting purposes to improve our mission and outreach.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing or commercial resale.

We may disclose personal information to:

• Service providers or processors who help us with payments, hosting, analytics, email communications, donation platforms, website maintenance.
• Our ministry partners, affiliated organizations, or agents insofar as required for collaboration or delivering services you have requested or opted into.
• Legal authorities or others where required by law, court order, governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety of others.
• In the event of a merger, sale, reorganization, or asset transfer, your personal information may be transferred to the successor entity (subject to similar obligations).

We may use cookies, web beacons, scripts, and other tracking technologies to collect non-personal information about how you interact with our website (for example site performance, user behaviour). You may disable or refuse cookies via your browser settings; however, some features of the site may not function properly.

We will retain personal information as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by law, or for as long as needed to protect or assert our legal rights. Once data is no longer needed, we will either delete it or anonymize it so it no longer identifies a specific individual.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures (appropriate to the sensitivity of the data) to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We require our service providers to adopt equivalent safeguards.

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under age 13. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it as soon as possible.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights including:

• Accessing the personal data we hold about you;
• Requesting correction, update or deletion of your personal data;
• Withdrawing your consent (where applicable) for us to use your personal data;
• Objecting to or limiting certain processing;
• Requesting portability of your data (to the extent such rights apply).
