Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 30, 2026
Introduction
Elite Life Ministries (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through EliteLifeMinistries.org, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to this policy.
The Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you sign up for email updates, we collect your name and email address. When you use a contact form on this site, we collect your name, email address, and whatever you choose to share in your message. Anything you share with us — including prayer requests and personal stories — is treated with care and confidentiality, and is used only to respond to you, pray for you, and serve you.
We may also receive information shared through YourREALID.com — such as salvation responses and testimonies — which we treat with the same care described here.
Donor information. Online giving is processed by Tithe.ly on their own secure platform. We never see or store your card or bank numbers. We keep records of donations for receipts, year-end giving statements, and legal requirements. We never sell, rent, or trade donor information with anyone.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use standard analytics tools — Google Analytics and WordPress.com stats — that use cookies to help us understand how people use the site (which pages are visited, for how long, and from what general region). This information does not personally identify you. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and the site will still work.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to send you the updates you signed up for, respond to your messages, process and receipt donations, and improve this website. That’s it. We never sell your personal information, and we don’t share it with third parties for their marketing.
We do share information with the trusted services that make this website run: Kit (our email platform), WordPress.com (our website host), Google Analytics (site statistics), and Tithe.ly (online giving). Each processes information only to provide their service to us, under their own privacy safeguards.
Your Choices
Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link — one click, and you’re off the list, no questions asked. If you’d like to see, correct, or delete the personal information we have about you, email us at Connect@EliteLifeMinistries.org and we’ll take care of it.
How We Protect Your Information
Our website uses secure (HTTPS) connections, and we rely on established providers — WordPress.com, Kit, Google, and Tithe.ly — that maintain industry-standard security. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
External Websites
This site links to other websites — such as YourREALID.com, Tithe.ly, YouTube, and Facebook. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for their practices.
Visitors Outside the United States
This website is operated in the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., the information you provide will be processed and stored in the U.S.
California Residents
California residents may request details about the personal information we hold about them, or ask us to delete it, by emailing Connect@EliteLifeMinistries.org. We honor these requests for all our visitors, wherever you live.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this policy, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
