As part of our mission to help people hear God’s voice and walk in His power, Word In Season International Ministry (WINS) collects and processes information to support and enhance our ministry efforts. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand how we collect, use, and store your personal information. By using any of WINS’ sites, you agree to the terms outlined here.

If material changes are made, we will notify you through updates on our website or by other means when appropriate. By continuing to use the site after changes are posted, you agree to the updated policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to all activity on imwins.org and other WINS-managed websites ("Site").

What We Collect

When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain technical data about your device. This includes your browser, IP address, time zone, and installed cookies. As you navigate, we collect data on which pages you view, how you interact with the Site, and what referred you to it. We call this "Device Information."

We collect Device Information through:

  • Cookies

We may also collect personal information submitted through any messaging features, such as email signups or contact forms.

If you make a purchase or donation, we collect your name, billing and shipping addresses, payment details (e.g., credit card number), email, and phone number. This is called "Transaction Information."

Together, "Personal Information" includes both Device and Transaction Information.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use Transaction Information to process donations or purchases, issue confirmations, and communicate with you. We may also use it to:
