Privacy Policy

Seminary for Insight, Research, and Transformation(“the Seminary,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to siratca.org and to the programs, courses, and communications we offer through it.

Effective October 26, 2026

Information We Collect

We collect only the information we need to provide our programs and to communicate with you.

Information you provide directly. When you subscribe to our mailing list, register for a course, or contact us, you may provide your name, email address, and any information you choose to include in a message. When you enroll in a paid course, you provide the information required to complete your registration.

Payment information. Payments for courses are processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not collect or store your full payment card details on our own systems; that information is handled directly by the payment processor under its own security standards.

Donations. When you make a gift, you provide your name, contact details, and the amount and frequency of your gift through the giving form on this site, which our donation platform provider hosts. That provider processes each gift, and we do not collect or store your full payment card or bank account details on our own systems.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our site, our hosting provider may log standard technical information such as your browser type, device type, and the pages you visit, for security and to keep the site functioning. This website sets no cookies of its own. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies of our own, and we do not track you across other websites. The giving form on the Support the Seminary page, which our donation platform provider hosts, may set cookies of its own, as our Cookie Policy explains. See our Cookie Policy for details.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• deliver the courses and programs you enroll in;
• send you communications you have requested, such as our newsletter, from which you may unsubscribe at any time;
• respond to your inquiries and provide support;
• process payments and maintain records of enrollment;
• process gifts, issue receipts, and maintain the donor records that the law requires;
• understand and improve our programs and website; and
• meet our legal and administrative obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for others’ advertising purposes.

How We Share Your Information

We share personal information only with the service providers who help us operate, and only as needed for them to perform their work for us. These include our email delivery provider, which sends the communications you subscribe to; our course platform provider, which hosts course registration and content; our payment processor, which handles course payments; our donation platform provider, which hosts the giving form, processes gifts, and issues receipts; our website hosting provider; and our productivity and email provider, used for our internal operations. Information you enter in the giving form is also governed by the donation platform provider’s own privacy policy.

Each provider is permitted to use your information only to provide services to us. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of our operations.

Your Choices and Rights

Email. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time using the link in any email we send, or by contacting us.

California residents. If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, request that we delete your personal information, request that we correct inaccurate information, and not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@siratca.org. We will verify your request and respond as required by law.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to maintain necessary records of enrollment and payment, and to meet our legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information and to rely on providers who do the same.

Children’s Privacy

Our programs and website are intended for adults. 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.

Links to Other Sites

Our site and course materials may link to other websites, including our course platform. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we do not operate. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and post the updated policy on this page. Significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
