JMM limits the personal information it collects to that which is reasonable under the circumstances, and we only collect your personal information with your consent.
We use your personal information for processing your donations and purchases as well as informing you about upcoming ministry events such as conferences, outreach updates, or opportunities for you to serve, etc. We may otherwise use your personal information where permissible by law, for example to respond to an emergency, or in the course of an investigation into illegal behavior.
