Biblical Counselors Society, LLC · Effective November 11, 2026
This notice explains what personal information Biblical Counselors Society, LLC (“BCS,” “we”) collects through biblicalcounselorssociety.com and our email list, and how we use it. The Change Pathways app has its own privacy policy at changepathways.app. Our training community runs on Mighty Networks, which has its own privacy policy.
What we collect
- When you contact us: your name, email address, and message. Please don’t put details about your health, your counseling, or anyone else’s private matters in a message. If you do, we use them only to reply to you.
- When you join our email list (for example, The Sufficiency Journal): your email address and any name you give. Our email provider, Kit, records whether you open our emails and which links you click.
- When you visit the site: our site tools record basic visit information, such as pages viewed, the referring site, browser and device type, and an approximate location worked out from your IP address. This information is used for traffic statistics and to keep the site secure.
- When you join The Society or buy a course: you sign up and pay on Mighty Networks, and its payment processor handles your card. We don’t see or store your card number. Mighty shares with us your name, email address, what you bought, and your membership status.
- When you take part in a live session: we hold live classes on Zoom and may record them. If you speak or turn on your camera, your name, image, and voice may appear in the recording. We tell you at the start when a session is being recorded. Recordings are kept on an unlisted YouTube channel and shown only to members inside Mighty Networks. When you watch, YouTube (Google) may collect information about your viewing under Google’s privacy policy. If you’d rather not appear, keep your camera off and use the chat, or ask us to edit you out of a recording.
How we use it
We use your information to:
- reply to you
- send the emails you signed up for
- run your membership and courses
- see how the site is used so we can improve it
- keep the site secure
- meet legal and tax obligations
We don’t sell your personal information. We don’t share it for advertising across other companies’ sites. We don’t use it to make decisions about you that have legal or similar effects.
Who we share it with
We share it only with service providers who help us run the site and our ministry and who may use it only for that purpose:
- our website host and its tools (WordPress, Jetpack, Rank Math, WPForms)
- Kit, for email
- Mighty Networks, for membership and courses
- Zoom and YouTube, for live sessions and course videos
- payment processors
We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect someone’s safety, or if BCS’s ministry is transferred to another organization that keeps this notice.
Cookies
The site uses cookies and similar tools to keep it working and to count visits. You can block or delete cookies in your browser; the site will still work, though some features may not. We don’t respond to “Do Not Track” signals, because there is no common standard for them. We do honor Global Privacy Control as a request not to share your information for advertising.
Your choices and rights
- Emails: every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can leave at any time.
- Your information: you can ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to get a copy of it. Write to us at the address below. We’ll answer within 45 days and won’t treat you differently for asking. Some laws let you appeal a refusal; if we decline, we’ll tell you how. We may need to confirm it’s you, and we may keep what the law requires, such as payment records.
How long we keep it
- Contact messages: as long as needed to deal with them, and no more than three years.
- Email-list information: until you unsubscribe.
- Membership and payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards, including two-step sign-in on the accounts that hold your information. No website or email system is perfectly secure.
Children
This site is for adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, tell us and we’ll delete it.
Changes
If we change this notice, we’ll post the new version here with a new effective date. If the changes are significant, we’ll also tell our email list.
