By using the Luke5Adventures website, you consent to the data practices and policies and terms and conditions described.

​

Our Commitment to Privacy

​

Your privacy is important to Luke5Adventures. To help you protect your privacy, we provide this notice of our privacy policy explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Our Use of Your Personal information

​

Users can visit the Luke5Adventures website without revealing any personal information. If you choose to provide personal information while on our website for purposes such as donating, seeking to volunteer, participating in a program, correspondence, or some other ministry purpose, then it is our desire to inform you how we will use your personal information.

On some areas of our site, you may be prompted to provide information (e.g., donating, signing up to be a volunteer, applying to participate in a hike of a lifetime) that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). The types of Personal Information we collect on our website may vary, but may include the following:

• Name

• Address

• Email address

• Phone number

• Credit/Debit card information

• Checking account information

• Particular family needs

• Religious affiliation

• Date of birth

• Information you wish to share: questions, comments, suggestions

You always have a choice as to whether to disclose any Personal Information. Luke5Adventures uses your information to understand your needs and provide you with the best service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, communicate back to you, and update you on ministry happenings. Credit card numbers are used only for donation or payment processing and are not retained for other purposes. Information requested in an application to be a volunteer or participate in a program is to help process that application. We use the comments you offer to provide you with information requested, and we take seriously each recommendation as to how we might improve communication.

​

Luke5Adventures recognizes the importance of protecting your information. Our policy is to use this collected information for our nonprofit ministry purposes only, and we seek to maintain appropriate security measures to keep this information private and secure.

If you make a payment (e.g., a donation or payment for a member-related service) via credit card on our website, credit card transaction data is encrypted under applicable regulatory standards.

​

However, Luke5Adventures cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Luke5Adventures, and you do so at your own risk. Luke5Adventures has taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide. You should understand, however, that electronic transmissions via the internet are not necessarily secure from interception, and so Luke5Adventures cannot absolutely guarantee the security or confidentiality of such transmissions.
