Privacy Policy

Mactan Cathedral of Faith (“MCOF”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website and the MCOF member app, how we use it, and the choices you have. We handle personal data in line with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173).

Information we collect

• Messages you send us — your name, email, optional phone number, and message when you use our Contact or Connect forms.
• Account information — if you create a member account: your name, email, profile details you choose to add, and your participation in groups, events, prayer requests, and reading plans.
• Technical information — basic data your browser sends (such as device type) and cookies or local storage needed to keep you signed in and remember preferences.

How we use it

• To reply to your messages and follow up on prayer and visit requests.
• To run your member account, ministries, groups, and events.
• To keep the website secure and working properly.

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

Services we rely on

We use trusted providers to operate this site: Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting), Google (map embeds and optional Google sign-in), YouTube (sermon and livestream video), and PayPal (online giving). These providers process data on our behalf or under their own privacy policies when you use their features — for example, gifts made through PayPal are handled by PayPal.

How long we keep it

We keep messages and account data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. You can ask us to delete your account and related data at any time.

Your rights

You may ask to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or object to how we use it. To make a request, email us at mcofchurch@gmail.com or use our contact form.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
