Privacy Policy

Leading Lights Global Network ("Leading Lights," "we," "us," or "our"), a ministry of The Life Development Center, respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you use our website, the Purpose Experience Weekend, the LAMP experience, the Global Network platform, our events, and related services (together, the "Services").

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. We collect information you give us directly, such as when you register for an event, create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, join the Global Network, use LAMP, make a donation, or contact us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, country, church or organization, and any content or responses you submit.

Payment and donation information. When you register for a paid program or give a gift, payment is processed by third-party payment processors. We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems.

Information collected automatically. When you use our website we may automatically collect certain technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits, through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and improve the Services;
• To process event registrations, applications, accounts, and donations;
• To communicate with you about programs, events, updates, and encouragement you have requested;
• To connect members within the Global Network and facilitate mentorship and community;
• To respond to your inquiries and provide support;
• To maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Services; and
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., hosting, email delivery, payment processing, analytics), under obligations of confidentiality;
• Within the Global Network, where information you choose to add to your member profile may be visible to other members of the community;
• Legal and safety reasons, where required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Leading Lights, our members, or others; and
• Affiliated ministries, including The Life Development Center, for the purposes described in this Policy.

4. Third-Party Services

Our Services integrate with third-party platforms, including the LAMP experience (lamp.thelifedevelopmentcenter.org), the Global Network platform, embedded video (such as YouTube), and payment processors. Your use of those services is also governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember your preferences, and understand how the Services are used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect some features.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, and comply with our legal and record-keeping obligations.

7. Your Choices and Rights

You may unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in each message. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

9. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Users

Leading Lights is based in the United States, and the Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
