This website uses this notice as a practical privacy guide. Church leadership should approve the effective date, retention periods and privacy contact before production launch, and obtain qualified Ugandan legal advice where needed.
01 · Who we are
The organisation responsible for this website.
Miraculous Synagogue Ministries is a church ministry based in Soroti City, Uganda. For information submitted through this website, the ministry decides why and how that information is handled.
02 · Information collected
Only what a visitor or authorised administrator provides.
- Prayer requests, optional names and optional follow-up contact details.
- Contact enquiries, names, email addresses or phone numbers, subjects and messages.
- Newsletter names, email addresses, consent records and unsubscribe status.
- Administrator account, security, audit and content-management records.

Please avoid submitting another person’s sensitive information unless you are authorised to do so.
03 · How and why it is used
Ministry care, communication and secure operation.
Information may be used to respond to enquiries, provide requested pastoral follow-up, send church updates to people who consented, administer church content, prevent abuse, protect accounts and maintain an accountable security trail.
Access is restricted by role. Prayer requests and pastoral notes are intended only for authorised pastoral and senior administration roles. The website does not publish prayer text, enquiry messages, subscriber addresses or administrator details.
The website does not currently install advertising or visitor-analytics cookies. It uses an essential session cookie for security and form protection; see the Cookie Notice.
05 · Retention and review
Keep information only as long as it is needed.

06 · Your choices and rights
Ask, correct, object or withdraw.
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask whether the ministry holds their personal information, request access or correction, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or ask for deletion when continued retention is not required. Newsletter recipients can unsubscribe through the secure link supplied with church communications.
If a concern is not resolved, information about Uganda’s privacy regulator is available from the Personal Data Protection Office. Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act is also available online.
07 · Children and external links
Extra care is required.
A child should use a website form with the involvement of a parent, guardian or appropriate responsible adult. External video, map, registration, social or payment links operate under the destination provider’s own terms and privacy practices.
08 · Contact and changes
