Privacy Notice

The short version

Miami Bible Forum collects only the information needed to run our studies and communicate with the people who take part. We do not sell personal information. Some service providers process information on our behalf, as described below.

What we collect

Registration. When you register for a study, we collect your first and last name and email address. We also collect, if you choose to provide them, your mobile phone number, how you heard about us, and any message you include. We record your study registration, the date and time, and your choice about our mailing list.

Contact form. When you write to us through the contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message.

Mailing-list sign-up. If you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address, your first name if you provide it, and the date and time you agreed.

Security information. To limit spam and abuse, our server uses your IP address briefly to apply rate limits. Where we keep a record for this purpose, we keep a one-way hash of the address rather than the address itself. Our hosting provider may also keep standard server logs, which include IP addresses and browser details.

Why we collect it

We use registration information to confirm your place, share meeting information and study materials, send weekly preparation and reminders, announce schedule changes, and respond to questions you send us. We use contact-form messages to reply to you.

Study emails and the mailing list

Emails about a study you registered for are part of that study. They are separate from our general mailing list. You join the general list only if you check the box on the registration form or subscribe separately, and we record that choice and when you made it. You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us.

Who processes information for us

We use service providers to operate this website and our communications. They may process personal information on our behalf, under their own terms and privacy practices. They include:

• Our website hosting and email-delivery provider, which stores the site, sends our emails, and keeps server logs.
• Our spam-protection provider, Cloudflare Turnstile unless we say otherwise on this page. It runs when a form loads and may use cookies or similar technologies to tell people from bots.
• If we use an email platform for our mailing list, it will be named here.

We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and analytics

This website does not set cookies of its own, and it does not currently use analytics or advertising trackers. If that changes, we will update this page.

How long we keep information

We keep registration and mailing-list information for as long as it is needed to run our studies and keep in touch with you, and then delete it. You can ask us to delete your information earlier.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct, or remove the information we hold about you, and you can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time. To make a request, use our contact form and choose “Privacy request” as the subject. We will respond as soon as we reasonably can.

Changes to this notice

If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the date above.
