Our Commitment to Your Privacy

One Network ("One Network," “Network,” "we," "our," or "us") values your privacy. We believe that when you share your personal information with us, you are placing your trust in us, and we take that responsibility seriously.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

One Network is an operating entity under the umbrellas of the Oregon Conference and Pacific Northwest Conference of the Free Methodist Church, which are both 501(c)(3) tax-exempt religious organizations. We collect and use personal information in furtherance of our religious mission and ministry activities.

Third-Party Services

To help us serve you, we use trusted third-party providers who securely process certain information on our behalf.

These include:

Planning Center
We use Planning Center for online giving, event registrations, volunteer scheduling, group management, and church database management. Payment information submitted through Planning Center is processed securely by their payment providers and is not stored by Journey.

Mailchimp
We use Mailchimp to send church-wide emails, newsletters, and ministry communications. You may unsubscribe from these emails at any time using the link included in every email.

Gloo+
We use Gloo+ to send directed and Network-wide emails, text message updates, reminders, and ministry communications to individuals who have chosen to receive emails and text messages.
You may opt out of emails by unsubscribing and text messaging at any time by replying STOP to any message.

One Network enters into appropriate data processing agreements with its third-party service providers, requiring them to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and to process personal information only as directed by One Network. Notwithstanding the foregoing, One Network is not responsible for the privacy practices, security measures, or acts or omissions of third-party service providers. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of each third-party provider.


Text Messaging Privacy

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties except as necessary to provide our text messaging services.

Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier.


Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Remember visitor preferences

  • Improve website performance

  • Understand how visitors use our website

  • Provide a better browsing experience


Most web browsers allow you to disable cookies if you prefer, although doing so may affect certain website functionality.

Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals. There is no uniform standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and we do not alter our data collection or use practices in response to DNT signals at this time.


How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

While no online system can guarantee absolute security, we work with reputable service providers who maintain industry-standard security practices.


Sensitive Pastoral and Religious Information

One Network recognizes that certain information you share with us—including prayer requests, pastoral counseling communications, and other sensitive personal or spiritual matters—may be highly confidential. We treat such information with heightened care and confidentiality. Access to prayer requests and pastoral communications is limited to authorized pastoral staff and ministry leaders who have a legitimate need to know in order to provide spiritual support. We will not disclose prayer requests, pastoral communications, or other sensitive religious information publicly or to third parties without your express consent, except as required by law. Certain communications with clergy may be protected under Washington and/or Oregon's clergy-communicant privilege. One Network respects and upholds this privilege.


Children's Privacy

One Network’s website and online services are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website without verifiable parental consent. If One Network intentionally collects personal information from children under 13 in connection with specific ministry activities (such as Vacation Bible School registration or children's ministry programs), we will obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting such information and will provide parents with the ability to review, correct, or request deletion of their child's personal information. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete such information. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately using the contact information below.


Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The following general retention guidelines apply:

  • Contact information (name, email, phone, address): Retained for the duration of your active relationship with One Network and for a reasonable period thereafter.

  • Donation records: Retained for a minimum of seven (7) years, consistent with IRS recordkeeping requirements under 26 U.S.C. § 6001.

  • Event registration data: Retained for two (2) years after the event, unless longer retention is required for legal or safety purposes.

  • Text messaging opt-in and opt-out records: Retained for a minimum of four (4) years after opt-out, consistent with CTIA guidelines and TCPA best practices.

  • Prayer requests and pastoral communications: Retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the request, unless you direct otherwise.

  • Website usage data (cookies, IP addresses, analytics): Retained in accordance with our analytics providers' standard retention practices.


When personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.


Data Breach Notification

In the event of a breach of personal information, One Network will notify affected individuals in accordance with applicable law. If a breach affects 500 or more individuals, we will also notify the applicable State Offices of Legal Affairs. We will take reasonable steps to investigate the breach, mitigate harm, and prevent future incidents.

To verify your identity, we may ask you to confirm certain personal information we have on file, such as your name, email address, or phone number. Please note that we may be unable to delete certain information that we are required to retain under applicable law, including donation records required under federal tax law (26 U.S.C. § 6001) and text messaging consent records retained under TCPA best practices.


Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ONE NETWORK’S LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE COLLECTION, USE, OR PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO ONE NETWORK IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
