How we collect, use, and protect your data.
Effective 3 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect when you use the HKBP Glugur site, how we use it, and your rights over that data.
Who we are
This site is managed by HKBP Glugur, a church at Jl. Pembangunan III No.57A, Glugur Darat II, Medan. For personal data matters, contact us at hkbpglugurmdn@gmail.com.
Data we collect
We collect two kinds of data.
- Data you provide through forms: name, email, phone number, message, review, photos, bulletin files, and other attachments you send.
- The content of conversations you type into the Digital Servant chatbot.
- Automatic data as you browse: IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, and your interactions such as movement and clicks through analytics tools.
How we use data
We use data for the following purposes.
- Answer your requests, reports, and questions.
- Review and display the reviews, photos, or bulletins you submit.
- Run the chatbot and answer your questions.
- Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
- Keep the site secure from misuse.
Cookies and tracking technology
The site uses cookies and similar technology.
- A language preference cookie to remember the language you choose.
- Google Analytics 4 for visit statistics.
- Microsoft Clarity, which records visit sessions and heatmaps of movement and clicks anonymously to understand how pages are used.
Managing cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies can affect some site functions.
Sharing data with third parties
We do not sell your data. Data is shared only with service providers that keep this site running.
- Emails you send through the forms are forwarded to the church administrator's and developer's email through the Gmail email service.
- Google for analytics and maps, Microsoft for Clarity, and OpenAI to process chatbot messages.
- Content you choose to make public, such as approved reviews, is visible to other visitors.
Storage and security
Approved reviews and verified photos are stored on the site's server. Emails and attachments are kept in the administrator's inbox. We protect the data with reasonable security measures, but no system is fully secure. We keep data as long as it is needed for the purposes above or as long as the law requires.
Public content you submit
The reviews you send may appear publicly along with your name, or as anonymous if you choose, and the date. Approved photos may appear in the gallery. Do not send information you do not want displayed publicly.
Your rights
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal data we hold about you. To do so, contact us at hkbpglugurmdn@gmail.com. You can also ask us to delete your review.
Children's data
This site is meant for the congregation and the general public, not to collect children's personal data specifically. If you are a parent and find that your child has submitted data, contact us so we can delete it.
