Last updated: November, 2026
Your privacy matters. Bellwether Church Solutions (“Bellwether,” “we,” “us”) is committed to protecting the information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to bellwetherchurchsolutions.com and any forms, emails or downloads connected to it.
1. Information we collect

- Newsletter and downloads: your name and email when you subscribe or request a free resource.
- Purchases: order details for products such as our books. Payments for books are processed by third-party retailers (such as Amazon and Vervante), and we do not receive your full payment card details.
- Information collected automatically: basic technical data such as browser type, device, pages visited and referring site, through cookies and analytics tools.
2. How we use your information
- To respond to your questions and schedule consultations
- To provide and improve our services and products
- To send the newsletter and resources you requested
- To send occasional updates about our services, products or offers you may find helpful (you can opt out at any time)
- To understand how our website is used so we can improve it
- To keep records and meet legal, tax and accounting obligations
3. Client financial information If your church becomes a client, we may access financial records through secure, cloud-based accounting and payroll platforms. This information is used only to provide the services you’ve engaged us for. It is protected with access controls and encrypted platforms, kept confidential, and never sold. Specific terms are covered in your client engagement agreement.
4. Tools and service providers we use We rely on trusted third-party providers to run our business, which may process your information on our behalf. These may include accounting and payroll software (such as QuickBooks Online, Xero and Gusto), receipt and spend tools (such as Dext and Ramp), email and newsletter platforms, scheduling tools, website hosting and analytics. Each provider handles your information under its own privacy policy.
5. Cookies and analytics Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to understand which pages are useful, measure website traffic, and remember your preferences. We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, which collect information in aggregate. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site may not work as intended.
6. Email communications If you subscribe to our newsletter or request a resource, we’ll send you emails related to church finance and our services. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We honor all opt-out requests promptly.
7. How we share information We do not sell, rent or lease your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers who help us operate our business, as described above
- When required by law, court order or legal process
- To protect the rights, safety or property of Bellwether, our clients or others
- With your permission
8. How we protect your information We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including encrypted cloud platforms and restricted access, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work hard to protect what you share with us.
9. How long we keep information We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required for legal, tax and accounting reasons. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe and request deletion at any time.
