When you sign up for newsletters, submit a contact form, or otherwise communicate with us via electronic means, your message and email address are collected and processed by a third-party service provider—in our case, Subsplash (Snap Pages).  Subsplash handles all aspects of email delivery, storage, and unsubscribes on our behalf. By providing your email address, you consent to:

• Transactional messages: such as confirmations, receipts, and administrative notices sent via Subsplash.
• Promotional newsletters: unless you opt out at any time through the unsubscribe link included in every email.
• Processing and storage: Subsplash may store and process your email address and message content on servers located in the United States (or other jurisdictions where Subsplash operates).

Please note that:

• Electronic communications are not encrypted end-to-end by Congregation Zion’s Sake. While Subsplash employs industry-standard safeguards (including TLS in transit and encryption at rest), absolute confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
• You should refrain from including highly sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers or financial account details) in your emails.
• For details on how Subsplash collects and uses your information, please review their privacy policy at https://www.subsplash.com/legal/privacy.
