We may also disclose information when required by law; to protect the rights, safety, or property of King City Church or others; in connection with a legal proceeding; or with your consent.
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with service providers in support of our text-messaging program, such as platform providers and mobile carriers, is permitted.

6. Data Security and Retention
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for ministry, administrative, legal, accounting, safety, or recordkeeping purposes.

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may link to services operated by third parties, including registration, giving, social media, video, maps, and other platforms. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and King City Church is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services.

You may contact us to update or correct your contact information, change communication preferences, or ask questions about the personal information we maintain.
