Privacy Policy:

Awareness
STCH Ministries provides this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy and security practices and to inform you about the way your information is collected and used. We are committed to respecting your online privacy and security.

What we collect
On STCH Ministries pages you can make donations and request materials. The information that we collect includes name, address, city, state, zip code, telephone number and e-mail address. In the case of online giving, you may be asked for a credit card number and expiration date. However, credit card information is not retained by STCH Ministries or South Texas Children’s Home (STCH).

How we use it
STCH Ministries uses your information to provide you with better service, to help you complete a transaction and communicate back to you. From time to time, we may also use information you provide to contact you with information we think would be of particular interest to you. You have the ability to decline to receive this information at any time and to prevent similar communications in the future. Credit card information is used only for payment processing and is not retained for any other purposes.

Who has access to this information
STCH Ministries will not sell, rent, lease or otherwise share your personally identifiable information with others. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online (excluding credit card data) with the staff of STCH Ministries. Employees of STCH Ministries are governed by internal privacy policies with respect to the use of this information.

Accuracy and Access
STCH Ministries wants to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. At any time, you may correct contact information by sending an email to development@stchm.org or call 361.375.2101. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections.

Giving
We have been ministering to children and families for more than 65 years and are continually working to ensure every dollar is used to its fullest for this purpose. Anything less would violate stewardship principles and the trust we keep with you, with the children, families, communities we serve and most importantly, with God. We are committed to the highest standard of stewardship excellence. We will make every effort to honor any designation preference you have stated.
