Overview
Christian Veterans Fellowship respects the privacy of visitors, supporters, veterans, service members, military families, caregivers, churches, ministries, and others who communicate with this website. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be received, used, protected, and shared when someone visits the site, submits a form, sends a message, requests prayer, asks about partnership, or uses resources linked from the site.
The ministry’s goal is to collect only the information reasonably needed to respond, encourage, organize ministry communication, improve the website, protect the site, and support the fellowship’s mission. Visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.
Information we may receive
Information may be received when you email Christian Veterans Fellowship, submit a prayer request, use a contact form, submit a partner request, interact with related forms, or communicate through social media. This may include name, email address, phone number, message content, prayer request information, organization name, ministry or church information, partnership interest, and other information you choose to provide.
The website may also receive normal technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages visited, date and time of access, and server-log information used for security, troubleshooting, performance, and basic website operation.
Prayer requests and personal details
Prayer requests may include personal or sensitive information. Please use care and do not submit medical records, financial records, Social Security numbers, classified information, legal documents, private third-party information, or highly sensitive details that are not necessary for a prayer or encouragement request.
Prayer requests may be reviewed for response, moderation, safety, or ministry follow-up. If any prayer request is shared publicly or with prayer helpers, Christian Veterans Fellowship should use discretion and avoid unnecessary personal details unless permission is clearly provided.
How information may be used
Information may be used to respond to messages, provide encouragement, process prayer or partner requests, communicate about the fellowship, improve the website, protect against misuse, maintain records, evaluate outreach needs, and connect visitors with appropriate ministry resources or external resources.
Christian Veterans Fellowship does not sell personal information. Information is not intended to be used for unrelated commercial advertising.
Limits of confidentiality
Christian Veterans Fellowship is a ministry and online fellowship, not a confidential counseling service, medical provider, attorney, crisis hotline, veterans-benefits representative, or government agency. Online forms and emails should not be treated as confidential professional communications.
Information may be shared when needed to respond to a request, with service providers that help operate the website or forms, with permission, to comply with law, to protect safety, to prevent abuse, or to address threats, fraud, misuse, or technical security concerns.
External services and links
The website may link to Facebook, government sites, veterans resources, churches, ministries, partner listings, CVF Web Services, forms, email systems, or other external websites. Those external websites and services have their own privacy practices, terms, cookies, tracking, and security policies.
Christian Veterans Fellowship is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites, social media platforms, form providers, or third-party tools.
Children and youth
This website is intended for a general audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13. Children should not submit personal information without a parent or guardian. Parents or guardians may contact the ministry if they believe a child submitted information that should be removed.
Security and retention
Christian Veterans Fellowship seeks to handle information responsibly, but no website, email system, social media platform, or online form can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors should use caution before sending sensitive information.
Information may be kept for as long as reasonably needed for ministry communication, records, security, legal compliance, or operational purposes. Requests about submitted information may be sent through the contact information on the website.
Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website, forms, ministry activities, tools, and legal needs change. Continued use of the website after updates means the current policy applies.
