We may retain donation records, including donor name, gift amount, date, fund designation, payment method type, and receipt information, for accounting, tax, stewardship, and legal compliance purposes.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

8. Photos, Videos, Stories, and Testimonies

As a ministry, Hope of a Nation may share photos, videos, testimonies, stories, updates, and impact reports to communicate the work being done and encourage prayer, support, and partnership.

We seek to handle stories and images with dignity, respect, and care, especially when they involve children, vulnerable individuals, medical situations, or communities we serve. When appropriate, we seek consent before using identifiable photos, videos, names, or personal stories.

We do not intentionally exploit, shame, or misrepresent individuals or communities in our communications. If you believe a photo, video, or story involving you or your child has been used in a way that should be removed or corrected, please contact us.

9. Children’s Privacy

Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without proper consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information to us may contact us to request review or deletion of that information.

Because Hope of a Nation serves children through ministry programs and partner organizations, we may maintain limited information, photos, stories, or records related to children in ministry contexts when necessary for program operations, safety, reporting, consent-based communication, or legal compliance. We handle such information with additional care.

10. International Ministry

Hope of a Nation is based in the United States and serves communities through ministry work and partnerships in other countries. While our ministry work is international, we do not share donor or website user personal information with international ministry partners for their independent use.

Donor, supporter, and website user information is used by Hope of a Nation for ministry operations, donor stewardship, communications, accounting, legal compliance, and related administrative purposes.

Some trusted service providers we use, such as website hosting, email, payment processing, analytics, or database providers, may process or store information in accordance with their own systems, security practices, and privacy policies. We seek to use reputable providers and limit access to personal information to what is necessary for the services they provide.

11. How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These safeguards may include secure website connections, access controls, password protections, encrypted transmission where appropriate, secure payment processing, limited access to sensitive information, and use of trusted service providers.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
