Meeting God in Missions (“MGM”) respects your privacy and preferences. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) sets forth the terms under which you share your personal data with MGM, how MGM collects and uses your data, and your rights with respect to understanding and modifying how it will be collected and used.
I. How does this Privacy Policy apply to you?
Generally: This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data provided to MGM when you make a donation or register for an event, or otherwise provide us with information via the MGM website located at www.gomgm.org. It also applies to personal data you may provide to MGM via telephone, email, regular mail, social media, texting, mobile applications, at a special event, in response to a solicitation or face-to-face.
Minors: It is MGM’s intent to gain consent from a parent or legal guardian before gathering any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Children under 13 are not authorized to make a donation without consent from a parent or legal guardian.

III. Why do we hold and process personal data?
MGM may request from you, or you may volunteer to provide, your contact information, including your name, mailing address, phone number(s) and email address(es) and passport information. We hold and process supporters' personal data for a number of reasons:
To keep a record of donations made and actions taken by our supporters and our communications with them
To send our supporters marketing information about our projects and fundraising activities
If you make a donation to MGM, or otherwise provide us your information, MGM may contact you from time to time about opportunities to make additional donations or purchases or to provide you information about upcoming programs.
IV. When will we send you personalized marketing communications?
MGM will contact you for marketing purposes—for example, to keep you up to date on our work, or let you know how you can support that work—only where we have your consent or we are otherwise allowed to do so because of your prior engagement with MGM, as explained further below (see “Our Reliance on Your Prior Support”).

Our Reliance on Your Prior Support: You may also receive marketing information from MGM if you have previously made a similar donation to, or have attended a mission trip. However, we will not rely on your prior support as the basis for our continued marketing to you if you have opted out of receiving emails, newsletters, or other marketing materials in your communications to MGM.
V. How and when do we obtain information about you?
MGM will obtain your personal data directly when you make a donation, sign up for one of our events, or when you communicate with us directly in some other way.
The MGM website may contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by other organizations. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, including policies on the use of cookies, which would apply to the use of personal information you submit or which is collected by cookies while visiting those websites. MGM cannot accept responsibility for the privacy practices of such third-party websites, and we recommend therefore that you familiarize yourself with their policies.
VI. What personal information might MGM collect?
MGM will only collect personal data about you that is relevant to the type of transaction or project you have engaged in with us.
For example, we may receive and retain personal information about you when you contact MGM to make a donation, or sign up for any of MGM’s activities or online content (such as newsletters or message boards); or when you telephone, email, or write to us. In each of these cases, the information we collect is relevant to the type of transaction you are entering into. Data such as your name email or postal address, telephone or mobile number will be necessary both to execute these transactions as well as to enable us contact you for further engagement. Age and travel restrictions will be relevant if you are signing up for a mission trip.
Sensitive Personal Data: We do not collect your "sensitive personal data" (e.g., health or dietary information) unless there is a clear reason for doing so—such as your participation in a mission trip—and then only to the extent such data is required to provide information to facilities when needed. Providing sensitive personal data is an individual decision and not required for participation in a mission trip.
All sensitive personal data is stored on a password-protected system to which only a limited number of relevant staff have access and is available to you at any point should you wish to see it.
VII. How will MGM use your personal data?
MGM will use your personal information for the following purposes:
a. For administrative reasons, including:
“service administration”, which means that MGM may contact you for reasons related to administering any donations you have made, the completion of commercial or other transactions you have entered into with us, or the activity or online content you have signed up for;
to confirm receipt of donations (unless you have asked us not to do this), and to say thank you and provide details of how your donation might be used;
in relation to correspondence you have entered into with us whether by letter, email, text, social media, or any other means, and to contact you about any content you provide;
for internal record keeping so as to keep a record of your relationship with us;
to implement any instructions you give us to with regard to withdrawing consent to send marketing information;
b. For marketing and fundraising
Sections III and IV above describe what data may be used for marketing and fundraising purposes and under what circumstances.
c. Analysis
To analyze and improve the activities and content offered by the MGM website to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience.
VIII. Will we share your information outside the MGM network?
MGM’s suppliers: We may need to share your information with service providers who help deliver our projects and fundraising activities. These "data processors" will only act under our instruction and are subject to contractual obligations containing strict data protection clauses. We do not allow these organizations to use your data for their own purposes or disclose it to other third parties without our consent, and we will take all reasonable care to ensure that they keep your data secure.
Where legally required: We will also comply with legal requests where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies for tax purposes or law enforcement agencies for the prevention and detection of crime, subject to such bodies providing us with a relevant request in writing).
X. How to control what we send you and update your personal information
The accuracy of your information is important to us. We want to ensure that we are able to communicate with you in ways that you are happy with, and to provide you with information that is of interest.
If you wish to change how we communicate with you, or update the information we hold, then please contact us:
To amend your contact preferences for any type of communication, email us gomgmhelp@gmail.com or write to us at: MGM Administrator; 110 Hays Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15241.
Additionally, you can opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email from MGM.
XI. How MGM keeps your data safe
We ensure that there are appropriate technical controls in place to protect your personal details. For example, our online forms that ask for personal information are stored on networks that are password-protected. Laptops are not used to store sensitive personal information unless they are password protected. All sensitive personal data is stored on a secure database, to which only a limited number of relevant staff have access.
We use external companies to collect or process personal data on our behalf. We do comprehensive checks on these companies before we work with them
XII. Changes to MGM’s Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, so you may wish to check it each time you submit personal information to MGM. The date of the most recent revisions will appear on this page. If you do not agree to these changes, please do not continue to use the MGM website to submit personal information to MGM. If material changes are made to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by placing a prominent notice on the website.
