and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.
Web Site Visitors Categories
There are two basic classes of web site visitors for whom we may collect personal
information: members of our church congregation and other web sites visitors.
The information collected from both of these classes may be slightly different.
However, all personal information is provided the same level of protection.
How is Your Privacy Protected?
At St Mark Lutheran Church, we understand that information about you and your
family is personal. Because of this, we strive to maintain the confidentiality
of your personal information. We continuously seek to safeguard that information

How do we use and disclose personal information?
When you join St Mark Lutheran Church, we use and disclose your personal information
for the normal organizational activities of a church organization. Below
we provide examples of some of those activities, although not every use or

- Prayer Concerns Submissions – Web site visitors may submit personal information when requesting prayers. Information from our online form is sent to church employees and designated church members for action.
- Church Membership Operations - We collect and use your personal information in the normal course of operating our non-profit organization. For example, as members, the church relies on personal contact information to notify members of upcoming events, solicit members for a church event, and to send copies of our periodic newsletter, The Lion Roars.

- Comply with federal, state or local laws that require disclosure.
- Respond to law enforcement officials or to judicial orders, subpoenas or other processes.
