Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Overview

Golden Beach Community Church respects the privacy of people who visit this website. This policy explains what information may be handled through the site, how third-party services may interact with visitors, and the choices available to you.

Information you choose to provide

When a church email address is set, the contact form emails the name, phone or email, request type, and message you enter to that address. The message is used to respond to your request. The website does not keep its own copy after sending.

Please avoid submitting information you do not want communicated electronically, especially confidential medical, financial, or other highly sensitive details.

Theme preference and local storage

The light/dark mode control stores your theme preference in your browser using local storage. That preference remains on your device so the site can remember your display choice. It is not used for advertising.

Hosting and technical information

Website hosting, security, and network providers may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser or device type, requested pages, timestamps, and similar diagnostic data needed to deliver, secure, and maintain the website.

Third-party services and embeds

This site includes or links to services operated by other companies. Examples include Google Maps or Street View, Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, and Apple Podcasts. When you load an embedded service or follow an external link, that provider may receive technical information and may use cookies, local storage, or other technologies according to its own privacy practices.

Golden Beach Community Church does not control the privacy practices of those third-party services. You should review the privacy information provided by those services if you have questions about their data practices.

Cookies

The church website itself is not designed around advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies. Third-party embeds may set or read cookies or similar technologies when they load. Browser settings and privacy tools may allow you to limit those technologies, although doing so can affect embedded features.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Parents and guardians should use appropriate care when submitting information involving a child.

Sharing and retention

Information voluntarily provided to the church through an enabled website feature should be used for church-related purposes, responding to requests, administration, safety, or as otherwise required by law. Information should not be retained longer than reasonably needed for those purposes.

Security

Reasonable care should be taken to protect information handled through the website, but no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website, its forms, or the services used by the church change. The date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
