Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
At Freedom Express Ministries, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website (https://freedomexpress16.org). By accessing or using our site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
- Name and email address (via contact, event, and newsletter forms)
- Order and download information (via PayPal)
- IP address and browser data (via Google reCAPTCHA)
- Metadata associated with form submissions (via WP Mail SMTP and Brevo)
- Technical data such as cookies (see Cookie Policy)
3. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to inquiries or support requests
- To send event or newsletter communications via Brevo (only with explicit consent)
- To process payments and provide access to digital downloads
- To deliver digital products automatically after payment confirmation
- To protect our website from spam using Google reCAPTCHA
- To improve functionality and user experience via performance tools
4. Form Submissions & Email Delivery
To ensure reliable delivery of messages submitted through our forms (e.g., contact or event registration), we use the WP Mail SMTP plugin. This tool securely transmits form data via Brevo’s email infrastructure. Emails are then delivered to our organization’s Gmail inbox for review and response.
Brevo acts as an email processor and may handle metadata (e.g., delivery timestamps, sender IP). Gmail (Google) stores the email content upon delivery. No form submission data is stored by WP Mail SMTP.
5. Google reCAPTCHA v2 (Invisible)
We use Google reCAPTCHA v2 (invisible mode) to protect our forms from spam and automated abuse. This version runs silently in the background and may only display a challenge if user behavior appears suspicious. Google may collect your IP address, browser information, and basic interaction data (e.g., mouse movements).
This data is processed by Google in accordance with their privacy policies:
Google Privacy Policy
Google Terms of Service
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share your data with trusted third-party services that help us operate the website, such as:
- Brevo (email marketing and transactional email delivery)
- PayPal (payment processor)
- Zapier (workflow automation to connect PayPal and Brevo)
- Google (security & analytics)
Zapier acts as a data processor to automate the secure transfer of purchase information between PayPal and Brevo. You can read Zapier’s Privacy Policy here: https://zapier.com/privacy
