Effective date: November 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Saint Vojtech Church (“the church,” “we,” “us”) collects through saintvojtechchurch.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We have tried to keep it short and in plain English. If you have a question, email us at info@saintvojtechchurch.com.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Contact form. Your first and last name, email address, and the message you write.
- Newsletter sign-up. Your email address. Our newsletter is sent using Hostinger Reach, the email service provided by our web host, Hostinger.
- Prayer requests. Your name (if you choose to give it), your email address, and the prayer request you share. Prayer requests are sent to info@saintvojtechchurch.com.
- Emails you send us. Anything you include when you write to us directly.
Gifts and payments
Gifts made on this website (including a general gift to the church and the optional $1 “Light a Candle” gift) are processed by Stripe. When you give, you enter your payment details on a secure Stripe payment page. Stripe processes your card. Saint Vojtech Church does not see or store your full card number. Stripe shares with us the information we need to record and acknowledge your gift, such as your name, email address, the amount and date of the gift, and whether it is one-time or monthly. Stripe’s use of your information is described in the Stripe Privacy Policy.
Gifts made through Alms. Saint Vojtech Church issues donation receipts for gifts made through Alms. To do this, we receive the information needed to prepare your receipt (such as your name, email address, gift amount and date). Please share your receipt with your CPA or tax advisor. Alms doesn’t give tax advice, and neither does the church.
Information collected automatically
We use Google Analytics, connected through the Site Kit by Google plugin, to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are located by city or country, the type of device and browser, and how visitors arrived at the site). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information. We use it only to improve the website. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Like most websites, our web host (Hostinger) also keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type, and the pages requested, for security and to keep the site running.
2. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site uses:
- Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics (for example, cookies whose names begin with
_ga) to count visits and see how the site is used. - Essential cookies set by WordPress and our site software so pages and forms work correctly.
- Payment cookies set by Stripe on its own payment pages, to process payments securely and help prevent fraud.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking cookies will not stop you from reading the site or giving.
3. How we use your information
- To reply to your messages and questions.
- To pray for the requests you share.
- To send the newsletter you asked for.
- To process, record, and acknowledge gifts, and to issue receipts.
- To keep the website secure and understand how it is used so we can improve it.
- To meet legal or accounting obligations.
4. Prayer requests are private
Prayer requests are kept private. They are read by Pastor Alan Vojtech, who prays over each request. We do not publish prayer requests, and we do not share them with anyone outside the church without your permission. Please do not include another person’s private details (such as health information) unless they have agreed to it.
5. How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only:
- With service providers that help us run the site and the church’s work: Hostinger (website hosting and the Hostinger Reach newsletter service), Stripe (payments), Google (analytics), our email provider, and Alms (receipts for gifts made through Alms). These providers handle information under their own privacy policies.
- When required by law, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of the church, our visitors, or others.
- With your permission.
6. How long we keep information
- Contact messages and prayer requests: kept only as long as needed to respond and pray, then deleted within 12 months.
- Newsletter email address: kept until you unsubscribe.
- Gift and receipt records: kept as long as needed for church records and legal or accounting requirements, generally 7 years.
- Google Analytics data: kept for the period set in our Google Analytics account, no longer than 14 months.
7. Your choices
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any newsletter email, or by emailing us.
- Ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by emailing info@saintvojtechchurch.com. We may need to keep some gift records when the law requires it.
- Cancel a monthly gift as described in our Terms of Use.
8. Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please email us and we will delete it.
9. Security
The site uses HTTPS encryption, and card payments are handled by Stripe rather than on our site. No method of sending or storing information online is completely secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive information by email or web form.
10. Links to other websites
Our site links to other services, such as Stripe’s payment pages. Those services have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page.
