Who Runs This Site
This site is run by Trumpet Call, a church in Philadelphia. The church’s legal name is Philadelphia International Foursquare Church.
Church address: 9313 Banes St, Philadelphia, PA 19115. Gatherings are held there.
Office: 9311 Banes St, Philadelphia, PA 19115.
What Data the Site Collects
The church website is primarily informational: it displays pages. The church website itself has no user accounts, subscriptions or newsletters, analytics counters, advertising pixels, or embedded social-media or video widgets. There are three exceptions: the Contact Us page, where you can send the church a message; the Give page, where an online giving form opens; and the Events page, which embeds a Google Calendar. All three are described below.
The church sets no analytics or marketing cookies on this site. The one cookie the church’s own site sets is the language preference described below, and it is set only if you ask for it. Cloudflare, which delivers the site, may set cookies of its own; both are described below.
Choosing a Language
This site is written in English and in Russian. When you open the homepage, the site reads the language setting your browser sends with the request, and uses it for one decision only: whether to show you the English homepage or send you to the Russian one. Nothing else is done with it. The church does not store it, and reading it does not set a cookie.
Except for the homepage, each current page address opens in the language you requested: English pages stay English and Russian pages stay Russian. The homepage is the only current page address that may send you to a page in another language, using the language setting described above or a choice you previously saved. After you send the contact form without JavaScript, the site may also take you to a thank-you page in the same language. Addresses the site used before its pages moved still work and send you to the pages that replaced them.
Cookies
The church’s own site sets one cookie, and only when you pick a language yourself with the language links at the top of the page. Reading the language setting your browser sends does not set it, and neither does simply visiting the site.
The cookie holds one value: either en or ru. There is no name in it, no identifier, no number that could be traced back to you, and nothing about what you read. It remembers your choice for six months and then expires on its own. Its only purpose is to open the site in the language you chose when you come back. It is never used for analytics, advertising, marketing or tracking visitors.
That is the only cookie the church’s own site sets. On the Give page, Planning Center and Stripe may set cookies of their own; see Online Giving below. On the Events page, Google may set cookies of its own; see Events Calendar below. Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the site, may set its own security cookies when its protection features require them, and it documents those cookies in its cookie reference. The church does not use them for analytics, advertising, marketing or tracking visitors.
You can delete these cookies, or block cookies for this site, in your browser settings. Nothing breaks if you do: the homepage simply goes back to reading the language setting your browser sends, and your choice is not remembered.
Like every other request to this site, a language choice is handled by Cloudflare, which processes it as described just below.
The site shows the church’s email address. The link opens your own email application or email provider. The message goes from there, not through this site, and the site never receives or stores it. To write through the site instead, use the contact form described below.
When you write to the church, the church sees your return address, your message, and anything you attach. Please share only what you are comfortable sending by email.
The church’s email account is provided by Apple through iCloud Mail, so messages sent to the church, including messages from the contact form, are stored with Apple. How Apple handles data is described in Apple’s privacy policy.
Phone
The site shows the church’s phone number as a call link. Selecting it asks your device to place a call through your phone provider. The call does not pass through this website, and this website does not receive or store it.
If you call the church, the church may receive your phone number and anything you say or leave in a voicemail. We do not ask anyone to provide personal or confidential information by phone.
Contact Form
The Contact Us page has a form for sending general questions, prayer requests, pastoral requests or other messages to the church. It asks for your email address and your message, and, if you wish, your name and a topic.
When you send the form, the site’s own code, which runs on Cloudflare, receives it and passes it to Resend, an email delivery service, which delivers it by email to the church’s address, info@trumpetcallchurch.org. That code keeps no copy of your message. Cloudflare handles the request itself like any other request to this site, as described under Hosting and Site Protection.
Resend retains email and log data for 30 days and keeps backups for seven days. This data is stored in the United States, and Resend handles it on the church’s behalf under its data processing agreement.
Messages from the form arrive in the church’s mailbox, described under Email, where they are read by authorized church staff. There is no fixed schedule for deleting them, so a message may be kept for several months or longer.
We use your email address only to reply to your message. We do not add it to any mailing list, the form sets no cookie, and no automatic reply is sent.
Please share only what you are comfortable sending by email. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages sent by email, including messages sent through this form.
Online Giving
The site has a Give page in each language. Online donations are made through Church Center, a Planning Center service. Planning Center processes information submitted through the form, such as the donor’s name, email address, gift amount and frequency. Stripe processes payment information. This website does not receive or store complete payment-card details.
When a Give page is opened, it loads a script from Planning Center so the giving form can open over the page. The script loads only on the two Give pages. Planning Center sets a cookie when the giving form opens. That cookie is set on Planning Center’s address, not on this site. As the form is used, Planning Center and Stripe may also use their own cookies or similar storage. Planning Center and Stripe may use their own service providers to operate the giving form.
How they handle your data is described in Planning Center’s privacy policy and Stripe’s privacy policy.
Events Calendar
The site has an Events page in each language. Each page embeds a public Google Calendar that shows the church’s public events. The calendar loads automatically only when you open an Events page.
When the calendar loads, your browser connects to Google. Google may receive your IP address, information about your browser and device, the address of the page you are visiting, and cookies or similar storage controlled by Google. The church does not control how Google handles this information. See Google’s privacy policy.
To avoid loading Google Calendar, do not open the Events page. The Sunday service time and the church’s address are also on the homepage and the Contact Us page.
Hosting and Site Protection
The site’s pages are delivered by Cloudflare, a hosting and security provider. To display the site and protect it from attacks, Cloudflare may process technical details of each request: the IP address, the address of the requested page, browser and device information, and routing and security data.
How Cloudflare handles this data is described in Cloudflare’s current privacy policy.
Links to Other Services
From this site you can follow links to Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Google Maps, and other external websites. After you follow a link, the terms and privacy policies of those services apply.
Changes to This Policy
Before this site adds other features that collect data, such as new forms, analytics or embedded video, this policy will be revised. The date of the most recent update appears at the top of this page.
