Privacy Policy

Overview

St George Coptic Orthodox Church operates Spiritual Festivity and uses this website to manage church registration, participant registration, check-in, event coordination, payment tracking, competition administration, and event-related communications for the Spiritual Festivity Bible quiz tournament.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information when churches, representatives, staff, judges, or participants use the site or communicate with us:

• Names, church affiliation, role, grade or level, and registration details.
• Email addresses and phone numbers for church contacts, representatives, judges, monitors, and staff.
• Payment status and transaction references for registration fees.
• Check-in status, assignment details, score-entry records, and event administration records.
• Messages, replies, notes, and communication history related to event outreach and support.
• Basic technical information such as log-in activity, browser data, and security logs.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Register churches, teams, participants, judges, and representatives.
• Coordinate check-in, rooms, assignments, score entry, and event operations.
• Send registration reminders, event updates, support messages, assignment notices, and payment-related notices.
• Respond to questions and provide administrative support.
• Maintain security, prevent misuse, and preserve audit records for event administration.

SMS/Text Messaging Privacy

If you provide a mobile phone number and consent to receive text messages from Spiritual Festivity, we may use that number to send event-related SMS messages such as registration reminders, outreach follow-ups, check-in updates, judge or staff assignment notices, payment reminders, and urgent event coordination messages.

Message frequency varies based on registration status, event role, and event schedule. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to opt out of SMS messages or HELP for help.

Mobile information, including mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, and SMS consent records, will not be shared, sold, rented, or otherwise provided to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Service Providers

We may use trusted service providers to operate the site, process payments, deliver email or SMS messages, host data, and support event administration. These providers may process information only as needed to provide services to Spiritual Festivity and are not authorized to use information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Data Retention and Security

We keep information as long as needed for event administration, accounting, audit history, legal compliance, and operational records. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information, but no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

You may request updates or corrections to your contact information by contacting Spiritual Festivity. For SMS messages, you may reply STOP to opt out and HELP for help.
