Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 25, 2026
Titus 1:5 Ministry (“Titus 1:5,” “T15,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through titus15.org, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with Titus 1:5 Ministry, we may collect information such as:
Your name, email address, phone number, and other contact information
Church, ministry, or organizational information you choose to provide
Information submitted through ministry-support requests, contact forms, or other communications
Assessment responses and related ministry or leadership information
Donation information, including donor name, contact information, gift amount, gift designation, and recurring-gift preferences
Basic website usage and analytics information
Please do not submit confidential or highly sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the specific ministry-support request or service you are seeking.
Donations and Payment Information
Donations made through our website are processed through third-party payment providers. Titus 1:5 Ministry may receive information related to your gift, such as your name, contact information, donation amount, transaction status, and recurring-gift preferences.
Payment-card and banking information is processed by the applicable payment provider and is subject to that provider’s privacy and security practices. Titus 1:5 Ministry does not intentionally store complete payment-card information on its own systems.
We may use donor information to process and acknowledge gifts, provide contribution records, communicate about your giving, and share appropriate ministry updates.
Ministry Support Requests
When you request ministry support, you may choose to provide information about yourself, your church, its leadership, or a ministry situation.
We use this information to understand the request, communicate with you, determine how Titus 1:5 Ministry may be able to assist, and provide or coordinate appropriate ministry resources and support.
Because ministry situations can involve other individuals, we encourage you to use discretion when sharing information about others and to provide only information reasonably necessary for the request.
Assessments
Titus 1:5 Ministry may provide access to ministry and leadership assessment tools as resources for pastors and church leaders.
When you complete an assessment, information may include your responses, scores, results, church or ministry context, and contact information you choose to provide. Assessment information may be used to:
Generate and deliver your assessment results
Help you better understand areas of strength and potential ministry pressure
Provide appropriate follow-up resources or ministry support
Improve the usefulness of assessment tools and related ministry resources
Some assessment tools made available through Titus 1:5 Ministry may be developed, owned, administered, or supported by David Smith Ministry or another ministry or technology provider. Information submitted through those tools may therefore be processed by those providers as necessary to administer the assessment and provide results.
How We Use Your Information
We may use information collected through the website to:
Respond to questions and ministry-support requests
Provide resources, assessments, and other ministry support
Process and acknowledge charitable contributions
Maintain appropriate donor and ministry records
Communicate with pastors, church leaders, donors, and ministry partners
Improve our website, resources, and ministry effectiveness
Maintain the security and integrity of our website and systems
Fulfill legal, accounting, reporting, and regulatory obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
Communications
If you provide your contact information, Titus 1:5 Ministry may communicate with you regarding a request you have made, an assessment you have completed, a donation you have made, or other ministry-related information.
You may unsubscribe from nonessential email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.
Transactional communications—such as donation receipts, assessment results, or responses to a request you initiated—may still be sent when necessary.
Third-Party Services
Titus 1:5 Ministry uses third-party providers to operate portions of our website and ministry activities. These may include website hosting, payment processing, email communication, analytics, assessment administration, and other technology services.
Those providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their own privacy policies and practices.
Our website may also contain links to third-party websites. Titus 1:5 Ministry is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.
Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website and third-party service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to help the website function properly, understand website usage, and improve the visitor experience.
Your browser may allow you to limit or disable cookies. Doing so may affect certain website functions.
Data Protection and Retention
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain appropriate ministry and donor records, comply with legal or accounting obligations, and protect the legitimate interests of Titus 1:5 Ministry.
Your Choices
You may contact Titus 1:5 Ministry to request that we update or correct personal information we maintain about you.
You may also request deletion of certain personal information, subject to information we are required or reasonably need to retain for legal, accounting, donation-record, ministry-record, security, or other legitimate purposes.
Children’s Privacy
The Titus 1:5 Ministry website and its assessments and ministry-support resources are intended primarily for adults and are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 18 through the website.
