Prayer requests

When you send a prayer request, we keep your name, the prayer you chose, the name of the person you are asking us to pray for (your own, if you leave it empty), and, if you give them, your email address, phone number and your own words, with the date and time you sent it.

We use these only to pray for your intention and, if you ask, to contact you about it. Only the church’s administrators, who sign in to a private part of this website, can read them. We never sell or share them, and we do not use them for marketing.

We keep a request until a church administrator removes it. You can ask us to delete yours at any time.

Each Saturday, the church secretary gets an email saying how many prayer requests arrived that week. It contains no names and no prayers.

Membership and donation forms

The membership form and other church forms are provided by Infoodle, the church’s membership system, and shown inside this website. What you type in them goes straight to Infoodle and is not kept by this website. The church uses it to look after its members, and Infoodle’s own privacy policy also applies.

Cookies

This website uses these small cookies to work:

• a security cookie on forms, which stops other websites sending forms in your name;
• a short-lived cookie that shows “Thank you” after you send a form;
• a sign-in cookie, for church administrators only.

It also uses Google Analytics cookies to count visits, as explained under “Visitor statistics” below. There are no advertising cookies. The map on the Contact page is a picture kept on this website, so Google Maps does not see your visit.

Visitor statistics

We use Google Analytics to count visits to the public pages of this website, so we can see which pages people find useful. It records the pages you view, roughly where you are (your town or country), the kind of device and browser you use, and the website that sent you here. It sets cookies so a returning visitor is not counted twice. Google Analytics does not keep your internet address.

We have turned off Google’s advertising features, so this information is not used to show you ads. Nothing you type into a form is sent to Google, and the administrators’ pages are never counted. Google may handle this information outside New Zealand, and Google’s own privacy policy also applies.

To stop it, turn on Global Privacy Control or “Do not track” in your browser, block cookies for this website, or use Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Technical information

To stop the prayer form being misused, this website briefly remembers your internet address in memory when you send a request; it is not saved. Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard records of visits, such as internet addresses and the pages requested, to keep the site running and secure.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] or call +64 2235 308 33, and we will reply as soon as we can.
