Privacy Policy

The Revival Center ("the Church," "we," "us," "our") is a church plant operating in Marlin, Texas. We meet at Marlin High School Auditorium, 1400 Capps Street, Marlin, TX. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding it.

We collect the following information when you interact with us:

• Contact information you provide voluntarily — first name, last name, phone number, email address, and postal address — when you sign up for the Word of the Day text ministry, register for an event, or send us a message.
• Opt-in records — the date and method by which you consented to receive SMS or email communications from us, for compliance with TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and carrier requirements.
• Communication content — the messages you send to us via SMS, email, or our contact form, and our replies.
• Account information — if you have an admin or member account on our website, your name, email address, and a password hash.
• Basic web analytics — standard server logs (IP address, pages visited, browser type) for site operation, security, and performance. We do not currently use third-party advertising trackers.

We use your information only for the purposes you signed up for:

• Sending the Word of the Day and church announcements by SMS or email, to recipients who opted in
• Responding to your questions, prayer requests, and messages
• Organizing and notifying you about church events you registered for
• Maintaining a member directory accessible only to authorized church staff
• Operating and securing our website and admin systems

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information — including your phone number or email address — with any third party for marketing purposes. Your contact info collected through the SMS opt-in or website forms stays inside The Revival Center.

We do use trusted service providers to deliver messages and host our website (currently Twilio for SMS, Railway for hosting). These providers process data only on our behalf and only to deliver the service we've hired them for. They are not allowed to use your information for their own marketing.

We may disclose information if required by law, by a lawful subpoena, or to protect the rights and safety of the church and its community.

When you opt in to our SMS program (online form, in-person sign-up, or by texting us directly), you agree to receive recurring messages from The Revival Center, including the Word of the Day, event reminders, prayer updates, and ministry announcements.

• Message frequency varies, typically up to ~7 messages per week.
• Message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier and plan.
• Reply STOPto any message to unsubscribe at any time. We'll send one confirmation and stop further messages. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at the address below.
• Carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc.) are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Our SMS program and online accounts are intended for individuals 13 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We keep your contact information for as long as you remain subscribed plus a reasonable period afterward for our records (typically up to 24 months after unsubscribe, then deleted or fully anonymized). You can request earlier deletion at any time.

You can, at any time:

• Unsubscribe from SMS by replying STOP
• Unsubscribe from email via the unsubscribe link, or by emailing us
• Request access to the information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of that information

To exercise any of these rights, email us at slugger@ministerslugger.com.

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information — passwords are hashed with bcrypt, the website is served over HTTPS, and database access is restricted to authorized staff. No system is perfectly secure, but we treat the trust you place in us seriously.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the Effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes that affect how we use your information, we'll notify subscribers by SMS or email before the change takes effect.
