The New Mexico Conference of Churches (“NMCC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website, https://www.nmchurches.org/, and any related online services, tools, forms, and integrations we provide.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Phone number
  • Mailing address
  • Organization or church affiliation
  • Messages or other information submitted through contact forms, event registrations, newsletter signups, donation forms, or other website forms

  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Pages viewed
  • Date and time of visit
  • Basic usage and analytics data
  • Cookie and similar tracking data

C. Information from Third Parties

We may receive information from third-party services you choose to interact with through our website or systems, including social media platforms, embedded media providers, analytics services, fundraising tools, email platforms, or authentication providers.

2. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website and services
  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you
  • Process registrations, forms, and requests
  • Send newsletters or updates you request
  • Manage events, ministry communications, and organizational operations
  • Maintain website security and prevent misuse
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Support authorized publishing and media distribution workflows connected to NMCC’s website and social media tools

3. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to improve site performance, understand how visitors use the site, and support communications or outreach.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

4. Google Sign-In, Google APIs, and YouTube Integration

Certain NMCC website tools or administrative features may allow authorized users to connect a Google account. When this happens, we may receive limited account information and authorization credentials necessary to provide the requested functionality.

Depending on the feature used, we may collect or process:

  • Basic Google account information, such as name, email address, and profile identifier
  • OAuth authorization tokens
  • YouTube channel or account identifiers
  • Content or metadata necessary to upload or manage videos that an authorized user chooses to publish

We use this information only for the specific purpose for which access was granted, such as:

  • Authenticating an authorized user
  • Connecting an authorized Google or YouTube account to NMCC’s publishing tools
  • Uploading videos or related content to a connected YouTube channel
  • Maintaining or troubleshooting that integration

We do not use Google user data obtained through these APIs for selling data, advertising purposes, or creating user profiles unrelated to the requested feature.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

If you authorize NMCC’s systems to access your Google account, you may revoke that access at any time through your Google account security and third-party access settings. If access is revoked, some connected features may stop working until authorization is restored.

YouTube API Services

If NMCC uses YouTube API Services through its website or related tools, those services are subject to Google’s and YouTube’s applicable terms and policies. By using a feature that connects to YouTube, you acknowledge that such integration may rely on YouTube API Services to upload or manage content authorized by the connected account.

5. Facebook / Meta Integration

NMCC may also use Facebook or Meta tools for features such as login, page connection, content publishing, or related communications workflows.

If an authorized user connects a Facebook or Meta account, we may receive:

  • Basic profile information
  • Page or account identifiers
  • Access tokens or authorization credentials
  • Information necessary to publish or manage content authorized by that user

We use this information only for the purpose of providing the feature requested by the user, such as authenticating access or publishing approved content to a connected Facebook page or account.

We do not sell this data and do not use it for unrelated advertising or profiling. Any Facebook or Meta data we receive is handled in accordance with applicable platform terms and this Privacy Policy.

6. Donations and Payment Processing

If you choose to make a donation or payment through our website, you may be directed to an external payment or church management platform, including Breeze ChMS (Tithely Church Management). NMCC does not directly collect or store your full payment card information on its website. Payment and donation transactions submitted through that external platform are processed according to the privacy, security, and data-handling practices of that provider. We encourage you to review Breeze ChMS’s privacy policy and terms before submitting payment or personal information through its platform.

7. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information only in limited circumstances, including:

  • With service providers who help us operate the website or our communications, hosting, analytics, email, donation, or media systems
  • With platform providers when required to carry out a user-authorized action, such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, or Meta
  • When required by law, legal process, or government request
  • To protect the rights, safety, security, or property of NMCC, our users, or others
  • As part of an organizational transition, if permitted by law

Service providers and partners are expected to use information only as needed to perform services on our behalf and in a manner consistent with applicable privacy and security obligations.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

  • Provide requested services
  • Maintain records
  • Meet legal, accounting, or security obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce agreements

OAuth tokens, connected account credentials, and related platform data may be deleted or invalidated when no longer needed, when access is revoked, or when an administrator disconnects the integration.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Choices

You may choose not to provide certain information, though that may limit access to some features.

You may also:

  • Unsubscribe from email communications using the unsubscribe link in our messages
  • Contact us to update or correct your information
  • Request deletion of information where applicable
  • Revoke connected Google or Facebook access through your account settings with those providers

11. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content, such as videos, maps, social feeds, external donation or payment pages, or external forms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website unless clearly disclosed in connection with a specific program and handled in accordance with applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and remove it if appropriate.

13. Your State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding access to, correction of, deletion of, or limitation on the use of your personal information. To make a privacy-related request, contact us using the information below. We will review requests in accordance with applicable law.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
