Our websites may contain links, embedded content, social-media features, advertisements, or other connections to third-party websites and services.

Examples may include social media platforms, streaming services, external event services, payment or donation services, and other websites.

When you interact with a third-party service, that service may collect information directly from you.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

Where Global Worship Radio provides links or integrations for donations, contributions, ticket purchases, or other payments, payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.

Payment information provided through a third-party payment service is subject to that provider’s privacy policy, security practices, and terms.

  • Server and hosting security measures;
  • Software and infrastructure updates;
  • Content moderation and abuse prevention; and
  • Other reasonable safeguards appropriate to the service.

However, no internet transmission, website, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

While we make reasonable efforts to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, administer requests, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, enforce our policies, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

The retention period may vary depending on the type of information and the service through which it was collected.

Some publicly displayed content, such as prayer requests, may remain available until removed by GWR or otherwise deleted in accordance with our procedures.
