AVODA House

Privacy Policy

Effective October 25, 2026

AVODA House respects the privacy of every family we serve. This policy explains what information we collect through avodahouse.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, and any details you share when you request a Pastoral Consultation, fill out a contact form, sign up for updates, or email us.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, our site (hosted by Squarespace) collects basic technical data such as your browser type, device, pages visited, and approximate location, using cookies and similar tools.
Information about your family: if you choose to share details about your household, faith, finances, or circumstances, we treat them with the care of pastoral confidence.

How we use your information

To respond to your inquiry and schedule a Pastoral Consultation
To serve your family through the Family Governance Initiative™ and related ministry
To send updates you have asked for (you may unsubscribe at any time)
To understand how our website is used and improve it
To meet legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Pastoral confidentiality

What you share with AVODA Pastors is held in confidence. We share it outside our pastoral team only with your permission, or where the law requires it, such as to protect someone from serious harm.

AVODA Advisors and Council members: only with your consent, and only what is needed to serve your family.
Service providers: companies that help us run the website, email, and scheduling (for example, Squarespace), who may process data on our behalf.
Legal reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the safety of any person.

How we protect your information

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No website or email is completely secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive details (such as account numbers) through our forms.

Children

Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

You may ask us to view, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you emails. Contact us at info@avodahouse.org.
