Your privacy
matters to us.
This page explains what information Safe Place Ministry collects through this website, why, and how we protect it.
Who we are
Safe Place Ministry (“Safe Place”, “we”) is a Christ-centered ministry for Pastors’ Kids and Missionary Kids. We are based in Manila, Philippines.
For any privacy question or request, contact us at safeplaceministry33@gmail.com.
What we collect
We only collect what you choose to send us through our forms:
- Contact form: your name, email address, topic, subject and message.
- Join form: your name, phone number, email address (optional), age group and an optional message. For anyone under 18, also a parent or guardian’s name and email.
- Sharing your story: your story, your age group, and whether you allow it to be posted. For anyone under 18 who allows sharing, also a parent or guardian’s name and email.
- PMK testimony questionnaire: your answers, your age group and your name. These are read only by our team and are never posted.
We do not ask for photos, ID documents, payment details or passwords from visitors. Please don’t include sensitive personal information in your messages.
How we use it
- To reply to your message and welcome you into the Safe Place community.
- To contact a parent or guardian for permission before anyone under 18 takes part or has a story published.
- To review and, only with your permission, publish your story anonymously. Your name is never published, and we may make small edits for clarity.
- To keep the website safe from spam and abuse.
We never sell your information or use it for advertising.
Who can see it
Your information is stored on our website’s secure server and can be seen only by the Safe Place team members who sign in to our private dashboard. It may also pass through the companies that host our website and send our notification emails (Google Gmail), which process it only to provide those services.
Cookies
- A short-lived session cookie that keeps forms secure while you fill them in. It is deleted when you close your browser.
- A cookie that remembers you have already joined, so we don’t keep asking. It lasts one year and contains no personal details.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers.
How long we keep it
We keep your information only as long as we need it, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Spam-prevention records are deleted after a few days and store only a scrambled (hashed) form of your internet address.
Children and young people
Young people under 18 can join Safe Place and share their story, but we contact their parent or guardian for permission before they take part in activities, and no story from someone under 18 is published without a parent or guardian’s consent and a safeguarding review. Read our safeguarding policy.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to see the information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or withdraw a testimony you shared. Contact us at safeplaceministry33@gmail.com and we will respond as soon as we can.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
