Brian Hallam Ministries is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.
For example, teachings and media content on this site may include embedded videos from platforms such as YouTube or other streaming services.
Donations and Giving
Brian Hallam Ministries may provide opportunities for visitors to give financially to support the ministry. Online giving may be processed through secure third-party payment platforms such as Pushpay or other payment processors.
When you make a donation, your payment information is processed directly by the payment provider and is not stored on our website servers. We may receive limited information from the payment provider such as your name, email address, donation amount, and transaction confirmation for record-keeping and communication purposes.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party payment provider used for donations.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

To request access to or deletion of your personal information, please contact us through the contact information provided on this website.
Where Your Data Is Sent
