Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7/21/2026

Louann Lee Ministry (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website [louannleeministry.com] (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly: When you fill out our contact form, sign up for our email newsletter, or make a donation, we collect information such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and any message or details you include.
• Donation information: If you make a donation through the Site, payment details (such as card number or bank information) are collected and processed directly by our third-party payment processor, [e.g., Stripe / PayPal / Give.org]. We do not store your full payment card details on our own servers. We do retain records of donation amount, date, and donor contact information for receipting, recordkeeping, and tax-acknowledgment purposes.
• Automatically collected information: Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit. This may be gathered through cookies or similar tracking technologies, including tools such as [e.g., Google Analytics] if used on the Site.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to messages submitted through our contact form
• Send you our email newsletter and ministry updates, if you have subscribed
• Process and acknowledge donations, and issue tax receipts where applicable
• Maintain accurate donor and supporter records
• Improve the content, functionality, and security of the Site
• Comply with legal and financial recordkeeping obligations related to charitable giving

3. Email Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send ministry updates, news, and related communications. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email, or by contacting us directly using the information in Section 8.

4. Donations & Payment Processing

Donations made through the Site are processed by a third-party payment processor. That processor’s own privacy policy and security practices govern how your payment information is handled. We encourage you to review their policy. We retain only the donation records necessary for gift acknowledgment, tax receipting, and our own financial recordkeeping.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies to remember basic preferences and understand how visitors use the Site. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some features of the Site may not function properly without them.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only:

• With service providers who help us operate the Site, process donations, or send email communications (e.g., our email newsletter provider and payment processor), who are only permitted to use your information to provide those services
• If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of the ministry, our supporters, or others

7. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including donation recordkeeping required for tax and accounting purposes. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Choices & Rights

You may:

• Unsubscribe from our email newsletter at any time
• Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, subject to our legal recordkeeping requirements for donation records
• Contact us with any privacy questions or concerns

To make any of these requests, contact us using the details below.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
