Privacy Policy

Hope for the Holy Land ("we," "us," or "our") is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 41-3209650) dedicated to supporting persecuted Christian communities across the Middle East. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

• Information you give us. When you fill out our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name, email address, and any organization name or message you choose to provide.
• Donation information. When you donate, payments are processed securely by Stripe. We receive confirmation of your gift and basic details such as your name and email, but we never see or store your full card number.

• Stripe for secure donation processing.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our organization or others.

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including serving our website over a secure HTTPS connection and relying on established, security-conscious service providers. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
