Introduction

We’re committed to respecting your privacy and keeping your personal information safe. This privacy policy tells you what to expect when Morris Cerullo World Evangelism (“MCWE”) collects personal information.

Who We Are

Morris Cerullo World Evangelism exists to support and extend the evangelistic calling and ministries of Dr. Morris Cerullo, by proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to every person, through every effective means available to us, and by training Nationals and others to do the same.

The Legacy International Center is a one-of-a-kind experience designed to celebrate the nations and cultures of the world. Located in San Diego, California, it includes the Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa.

What Personal Information We Collect About You

MCWE gathers Personal Data for two primary purposes: for fulfilling our responsibility to provide you with requested products, materials or services, and for communicating with our constituency to teach Kingdom principles, inspirational information, share ministry results driven by partner support, and request partner support.

Personal information can include information such as your name, communication preferences, email address, postal address, IP address, telephone number, mobile number, date of birth or bank account or bank card details so we can process donations, or information as to whether you are a taxpayer to help us to claim gift aid (where applicable). In some cases, we may also collect information about you from publicly available sources.

This can occur when you:

• Ask about our activities
• Register with us for information
• Make a donation
• Sign up for publications or newsletters
• Sign up for our videos
• Sign up to receive special greetings and communications
• Submit your video testimony or photo with your praise report
• Submit a testimonial
• Purchase an item from the online store
• Purchase services
• Telephone, write, contact us online or text us
• Otherwise provide us with your personal information

We do not collect sensitive personal information about our supporters unless there is a clear reason for doing so, for example, you share a health concern as part of a prayer request.

If you freely and voluntarily give us sensitive personal information as part of our ministry (i.e., for example, through a prayer request), we will only collect and store sensitive personal data with your consent.

Service Providers

We use service providers such as fundraising agencies, direct mailing companies, mobile marketing providers, software, and software as a service (SaaS) providers to help us provide you with our services.

We may give relevant persons within these service providers access to your personal information, but only to allow them to perform their authorized services for us. Some service providers may be based in the US, the UK, or inside or outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) however, we will endeavor to ensure that any data transfers outside of the EEA are carried out in compliance with relevant data protection legislation for the location you have specified as your place of legal residence, and that the processing of your data is subject to appropriate security measures.

How We May Use Your Information

We will not rent, swap or sell your personal information.

The legal basis that we rely on for processing your data will depend upon the circumstances in which it is being collected and used, but will in most cases fall into one of the following categories:

• Where you have provided your consent to allow us to use your data in a certain way
• Where the processing is necessary to carry out for the performance of a contract with you
• Where the processing is necessary in order for us to comply with a legal obligation such as reporting and audit requirements; or
• Where it is in our legitimate interests to perform our functions, for example, processing donations or sending you administrative communications where our legitimate interest is to raise funds and to deliver our charitable purposes

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your personal/sensitive personal information when required to by law, for example, donation transaction data to the HMRC (the tax authority of the U.K. government) for tax purposes, or as a result of a subpoena or court order. Further, we safeguard the sharing of such information with our vendors by using formalized information sharing agreements where appropriate, or on an ad hoc basis after ensuring the request and disclosure are legally compliant, such as filing HRMC reports.

Other ways we may use your information:

Our Donors and Supporters

If you wish to support us by making a donation, we will collect your name and contact details as a minimum.

Where appropriate, we may also ask for your date of birth and your motivation or personal experience for supporting us. We will use the information you provide to give you the services, products or information you asked for, tailor communications to you, to administer your donation including processing gift aid where applicable, to send you a thank you letter or thank you call, to support your fundraising or manage your marketing preferences.

We may also send you administrative communications, for example confirming a direct debit instruction when you have made a donation to us.

Online Donations and Payments

To make an online donation or payment by direct debit or payment card, you will be directed to a payment gateway which uses security features and encryption to ensure your data remains safe. The payment gateway encrypts your bankcard information through the use of tokens, so we never keep your bankcard information in our records.

Further information about the collection and use of your data will be provided on the relevant payment gateway for you.

If you enter your details into one of our online forms and you don’t “send” or “submit” the form we may contact you to see if we can help you with any problems you may be experiencing with the form or our website.

Donating Through MCWE’s Contracted Payment Gateways

The online payment gateways process your donation on behalf of MCWE. They use, retain and disclose your personal and credit card details for this purpose only, including transferring your data outside of the European Economic Area. Where such transfer occurs, we will ensure your data is adequately protected under data protection laws where applicable.

Data Profiling and Analysis

We may also carry out analysis of the personal information we collect about you and add publicly available information to create a profile of your interests, preferences and your ability to support us, including the amount or level of potential donation or legacy you may be able to give.
This is so we can contact you in the most appropriate way and with the most relevant information, which enables us to raise funds for ministry outreach more cost-efficiently to fulfill our mission to reach people worldwide for Christ.

Publicly available information is compiled from sources such as public registers (e.g. listed Directorships), newspaper articles, and social media posts.

Please let us know if you would prefer us not to process your data in this way by contacting us here.

Marketing Communications

Where you give us your consent, we will also use your personal data in order to send you marketing and fundraising communications.

You decide how you want us to contact you, whether by mail, email or by phone or text message (SMS/MMS) and you can update your communication preferences at any time by contacting us here. Occasionally, we will also send you a communication to update and refresh your communication preferences.

Donating Through Our Online Shop

When you make a donation and select a thank you gift from our online store, we will collect certain information from you including your name, address, phone number, email address, gift aid status where applicable, marketing preferences and payment details, so that we can process your gift and thank you product shipment, or contact you if we have any queries regarding your transaction. Where you have given us your consent (where applicable), we may send you information about other offers that may be of interest to you by post, email, SMS or contact you by phone.

Your data will be held and processed by MCWE. Depending upon the communication preferences you select when registering your details, MCWE may then also contact you for fundraising and marketing purposes.

MCWE will not use your personal data for any other purpose unless you explicitly instruct us to do so.

Visitors to Our Website

When someone visits an MCWE website, we use third party services such as Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns.

We do this to understand how our website was accessed, and the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow these third-party companies to make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website other than a general IP Address. If we do want to collect personal information through our website such as asking you to fill out a form, we will make this clear and explain what we will do with it.

We also use click through and open mail tracking when sending emails so that we can understand whether the recipient has opened an email, unsubscribed, or clicked on a link to our website. This enables us to assess the effectiveness of our communication with you.

Cookies

We use cookies to help us minister more effectively to you. Cookies are small text files that sit on your device so that our website will remember you and your preferences.

To help us create a more effective website that reflects users’ needs, we use cookie files to collect and record information about how our site is used and collect your IP address (a number that identifies a specific computer or other internet device) for system administration and to report aggregated information.

Our website may also include links to other websites, not owned, associated or managed by MCWE. While we try our best to only link to reputable websites we cannot be held responsible for the privacy of information collected by sites not managed by us, nor can we accept responsibility or liability for them. For this reason, you should consult the privacy notice on any external website you link to before you submit any personal information to those websites.

How We Keep Your Data Safe and Who Has Access

We ensure that there are appropriate technical controls in place to protect your personal details. For example, our online forms are always encrypted and our network is protected and routinely monitored.

We undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff and our contracted vendors.

We use external companies to collect or process personal data on our behalf. We do comprehensive checks on these companies before we work with them, and put a contract in place that sets out our expectations and requirements, especially regarding how they manage the personal data they have collect or have access to.

Some of our suppliers run their operations in the US, the UK or inside or outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Although they may not be subject to same data protection laws as companies based in the UK, we take steps to make sure they provide an adequate level of protection in accordance with applicable US, EU or UK data protection law. By submitting your personal information to us you agree to this transfer, storing and/or processing at a location of our choosing.

We may need to disclose your details if required to the police, regulatory bodies or legal advisors.

We will only ever share your data in other circumstances if we have your explicit and informed consent.

How Long We Hold Your Personal Information For

We regularly review personal information we hold, and delete anything we no longer need. We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary. Different laws require us to keep different data for different periods of time.

Certain regulations we are subject to, including the United States Internal Revenue Code, require that we keep records of financial transactions for seven years.

Certain regulations we are subject to in the EU and UK, including the HMRC, require that we keep certain records for 6 years and 35 days.

Otherwise, data on former partners and supporters is typically retained for up to three years after last contact. However, we will keep your data during your lifetime if you have included us in your will, estate planning, or trust.

Information that does not need to be accessed regularly, but which still needs to be retained, is archived or placed offline.

Keeping Your Information and Preferences Up To Date

We continually strive to improve the quality and accuracy of the information you have provided, such as your contact details, by checking against external data lists such as the Post Office’s National Change of Address database & The National Deceased Register. This helps us ensure our records are fully up-to-date and to avoid misdirecting communications.

You can help us keep our records up to date by telling us when your contact details and other personal information changes. You can also change your mind at any time about how we contact you or ask us to stop contacting you altogether.

If you tell us that you no longer want to receive further contact from us and you are in our donor database, it may take a short while before our communications stop altogether as selection of donor information for some of our mail appeals is completed a few weeks in advance of the mailing. If you request to receive no further contact from us, we will keep the information we hold on you and add you to our suppression lists to ensure that you do not receive unwanted materials in the future.
