Privacy Policy

Who We Are

PastorCordon.org is the personal ministry and teaching website of Dr. Gary L. Cordon, Sr. The website provides biblical teaching, books and resources, media, ministry information, connection pathways, and links to related ministry platforms.

Website address: https://pastorcordon.org.

Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, church or organization, prayer request, speaking-invitation details, ministry inquiry, newsletter preferences, or other information submitted through a form.

When ecommerce features are used, the website may also collect information necessary to process orders, provide customer service, maintain transaction records, and comply with legal or accounting requirements. Payment-card information may be handled by the payment processor used at checkout rather than stored directly by PastorCordon.org.

Email and Newsletter Signups

If you join a mailing list or request ministry updates, we may use the information you provide to send biblical teaching, ministry news, event information, book or resource announcements, and related communications. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe option provided in those messages when the email system is active.

Prayer Requests and Ministry Inquiries

Information submitted through prayer, contact, pastoral, speaking, or ministry-inquiry forms may be reviewed by authorized ministry personnel for the purpose of responding to the request. Please do not submit information that is unnecessary to the request.

Prayer and pastoral communications should not be used for emergencies. The website is not designed as an emergency-response service.

Comments

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment, the website may collect the information shown in the comment form along with technical information such as your IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection, moderation, and security.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, account login, ecommerce, preferences, security, analytics, embedded media, and other features. Some cookies are placed by WordPress, WooCommerce, or third-party services used by the site.

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

Analytics and Website Performance

PastorCordon.org may use analytics or performance tools to understand how visitors use the website, improve content, measure traffic, and evaluate ministry communication. When such tools are enabled, they may collect technical information such as device type, browser, referring page, general location derived from network information, pages viewed, and interaction data.

Embedded Content and External Links

Pages may include embedded videos, images, social-media content, podcast players, forms, or links from other websites. Embedded content may behave as though you visited the external provider directly. Those providers may collect information, use cookies, or track interaction according to their own privacy policies.

PastorCordon.org also links to related ministry websites and external services. This Privacy Policy does not control the privacy practices of those separate websites or services.

Books, Products, and Transactions

When you purchase a book, resource, or other product through PastorCordon.org or a linked retailer, information may be processed by WooCommerce, the applicable payment processor, retailer, shipping provider, or other service needed to complete the transaction. Information is used only as reasonably necessary to process the order, provide support, prevent fraud, maintain records, and meet legal obligations.

Ministry Partnership and Giving

If online ministry partnership or giving is activated in the future, the receiving ministry entity and payment process will be identified on the applicable giving page. Contribution records may be retained as required for accounting, reporting, security, and legal purposes. Product purchases and ministry contributions will be kept as distinct pathways.

How We Use Information

Information may be used to provide requested content or services; respond to prayer requests, speaking invitations, and inquiries; deliver newsletters or updates; process purchases; maintain website security; improve the website; prevent misuse; comply with legal obligations; and support legitimate ministry administration.

Who May Receive Information

We may share information with service providers that help operate the website or fulfill a request, such as website hosting, email delivery, form processing, ecommerce, payment processing, spam protection, analytics, media hosting, or shipping services. We do not authorize service providers to use submitted information for unrelated purposes.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or respond to lawful requests.

Data Retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for ministry administration, security, accounting, legal obligations, dispute resolution, or recordkeeping. Different types of records may have different retention periods.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that PastorCordon.org maintains about you, subject to legal, security, accounting, or administrative requirements. You may also unsubscribe from marketing communications when those communications are active.

Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, email system, or online transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so visitors should use care when submitting sensitive information online.

Children’s Privacy

PastorCordon.org is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parent or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has submitted personal information improperly, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website adds or changes forms, email systems, analytics, ecommerce, media, partnership, or other digital services. The date at the top of the policy will be updated when material revisions are made.
