Who is responsible

Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod is responsible for personal information collected through this site. Contact: N16W23377 Stone Ridge Dr, Waukesha, WI 53188, United States

What we collect

• What you give us when applying: your name, email address, congregation or church body, role or office, and country.

• What you tell us in support of your application, so we can confirm you are who you say you are.

• Account activity: when you sign in, which resources you download, which events you join.

• Anything you contribute posts, materials, messages to us.

• Technical information your browser sends: IP address, device and browser type, and your chosen language.

• Analytics about how the site is used.

Why we use it

• To decide whether to grant access, and to keep the platform to those it is meant for.

• To run the site — signing you in, delivering downloads, hosting events.

• To understand which resources and languages are used, so we know what to produce next.

• To contact you about the platform, and about new material where you have asked us to.

• To meet obligations to the publishers whose material we host.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal information and we do not use it for advertising.

• Service providers who host the site, send our email and provide analytics, acting on our instructions.

• Interpretation providers, for events using live translation.

• Church bodies, where confirming your credentials requires it — we will make clear when this applies.

• Where the law requires it.

Children

This platform is intended for adults in church leadership. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect their information.
