Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Commitment to Privacy

Les Moissonneurs is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our website visitors, concert attendees, donors, and volunteers. We adhere strictly to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy standards in Canada.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the personal information necessary to deliver our ministry services, process event registrations, and keep you informed about our community activities:

• Newsletter Subscription: Email address provided voluntarily through our website to receive event announcements and updates.
• Volunteer Applications: Full name, email address, phone number, department preference, and ministry message submitted through our volunteer registration portal.
• Technical & Language Preferences: We store your selected language preference (English or French) in your browser's local storage to ensure a consistent browsing experience.

3. Purpose and Use of Your Information

We use the collected information solely for legitimate ministry operations: sending requested newsletters, coordinating volunteer schedules for Gospelness 2026, delivering ticket confirmation notices, and improving website functionality. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party commercial marketers.

4. Third-Party Service Providers & Processors

To provide high-quality digital services, we partner with trusted third-party platforms that maintain industry-standard security:

• Google Analytics 4: Analyzes anonymous website usage and traffic statistics to help us optimize page performance. No personally identifiable tracking or cross-site advertising profiling is conducted.
• Stripe Payments: Processes online donations securely via hosted Stripe Checkout links. Payment details (card numbers, expiry, CVC) are handled directly on Stripe's PCI-DSS Level 1 certified platform and are never stored on our servers.
• Eventbrite Inc.: Powers our embedded ticket checkout. Payment processing and credit card data are handled securely on Eventbrite's PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure. Les Moissonneurs does not store your credit card numbers.
• Formspree Inc.: Powers our serverless contact, newsletter, and volunteer forms, transmitting submissions securely via encrypted HTTPS to our ministry inbox.
• Google Maps Platform: Renders interactive venue maps and location guidance for concert attendees.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

Our website uses minimal local storage strictly to remember your language preference (EN/FR) across visits and anonymous Google Analytics 4 session cookies to measure visitor interactions in aggregate. We do not deploy invasive third-party commercial advertising trackers.

6. Data Retention & Security Measures

We apply standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered.

7. Your Rights under Canadian Law (PIPEDA)

Under Canadian privacy laws, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or ask for your contact information to be removed from our newsletter or volunteer rosters at any time by contacting us.
