Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality.
Third-party tools and services that may be active on our website include (but are not limited to):

Church Center (Planning Center) — Some pages include modals or overlays provided by Church Center, our church management system, for event registration, group sign-ups, and giving. These are hosted and operated by Planning Center. Any information you submit through those modals is governed by Planning Center’s own privacy policy, not this one.
These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and data practices.
4. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your activity not be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard approach for honoring them. You can still manage your privacy preferences through your browser’s cookie settings.
5. Data Sharing
We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: With trusted vendors who help operate our website or services — including Planning Center (Church Center), Mailchimp, and Pressable/WordPress hosting — under confidentiality agreements. These vendors may process server logs containing visitor IP addresses and request data as part of normal website operations.

You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you

Subject to certain exceptions, on receipt of a verifiable deletion request we will delete your personal information from our records and direct any service providers to do the same. We may not be able to comply with a deletion request if it is necessary to: complete a transaction for which the information was collected; fulfill the terms of a warranty or legally required product recall; provide a good or service you requested; detect security incidents or protect against fraudulent or illegal activity; debug and repair errors; exercise free speech or another right provided by law; comply with a legal obligation; or otherwise use the information internally in a manner compatible with the context in which you provided it.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@arvadavineyard.org.
