Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 14, 2026

Wilmington Community Evangelical Church (“WCEC,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information the WCEC English Ministry website, em.wcec.church, collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you fill out a form on our website, such as a contact form, newsletter subscription, or event registration, we collect the information you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, and your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we collect basic information about your visit through Google Analytics. This includes the pages you view, how long you stay, how you found our site, your general location (city or region), and your device and browser type. This information does not identify you by name.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your questions and messages
• Register you for events or programs you sign up for
• Send you church updates, if you ask to receive them
• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about your visit and sends it to Google, which processes it on our behalf. You can learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

To stop Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Our website uses cookies for analytics, and embedded content such as YouTube videos and Google Maps may set their own cookies. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; the website will still work without them.

How We Share Information

We share personal information only in these cases:

• Church staff and ministry leaders who need it to respond to you or care for you.
• Service providers that help us run the website and our ministry, such as our website host, Google Analytics, and Mailchimp. They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
• When required by law, or to protect the safety of any person.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Parents or guardians register children for church programs. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

How We Protect and Keep Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you give us, including a secure (HTTPS) connection for our website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was given, and then delete it.

Links to Other Websites

Our website links to other sites, including the WCEC Chinese Ministry website (wcec.church), YouTube, and social media. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Your Choices

• You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the personal information you have given us by contacting us below.
• You can unsubscribe from church emails at any time using the link in each email.
• You can opt out of Google Analytics with the browser add-on above, or block cookies in your browser.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page.
