Privacy Policy
Last updated November 15, 2026. This page explains what information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it.
Who runs this site
This is not an official website of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is run by members of the Willows Ward in Spanish Fork, Utah, as a local communication and organizing tool. It is not endorsed by, connected to, or operated by the Church, and it does not speak for the Church. For official Church information, visit churchofjesuschrist.org.
This site is not connected to Church membership records or any Church system (such as Leader and Clerk Resources or Gospel Living). Nothing is imported from Church records. The only information here is what people type into this website themselves, or what ward leaders enter by hand to help organize ward activities.
What we collect
- Contact and sign-up forms. When you send a message or submit an event idea, we collect what you enter (such as your name, email, phone, and message). It is emailed to the ward leaders responsible and saved so it isn't lost.
- Reminders and the newsletter. If you sign up, we keep your name, email and/or phone number, and the groups you chose, so we can send event reminders and the ward newsletter.
- Ministering reports. Ministering brothers and sisters can report a visit or contact. These reports may include the reporter's name, the family's name, and notes. They are only visible to the leaders of that organization and the site administrators.
- Leader accounts. Ward leaders who sign in have a name and email on file. Sign-ins and changes made in the admin area are logged for security.
- Basic technical data. Like most websites, our server records things like IP address and browser type when forms are submitted, to prevent spam and abuse.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent, or trade your information.
- We don't use advertising or ad tracking.
- We don't share your information outside the ward leaders who need it, except with the service providers that make the site work (web hosting, email delivery, and text-message delivery if you choose text reminders).
Please be thoughtful about what you share
This site is a simple organizing tool, not a secure records system. Please don't submit sensitive personal information such as health details, financial information, government ID numbers, or confidential matters. For anything private or sensitive, contact your bishop or an organization leader directly.
Cookies and outside services
We use a small number of cookies needed for the site to work, such as keeping leaders signed in (for up to 30 days on the same device). Some pages show an embedded Google Map and load fonts from an outside font service; those services may receive your IP address under their own privacy policies.
Children
This site is meant for adults and parents. Children under 13 should not submit information. Parents or leaders can submit on their behalf.
How long we keep it
We keep information only as long as it's useful for ward organizing, and we clean out old submissions periodically. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
Your choices
- Every reminder and newsletter email has an unsubscribe link.
- To see, correct, or delete what we have about you, email spendetblut@gmail.com.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
