Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to the website of Silk Road Catalyst (“SRC”, “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our website and use our services. If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through our contact page.
Who We Are
SRC is a family of ministries whose home office is located in the United States. We are inter-denominational, evangelical, and multi-national. We operate in multiple countries from East Asia to the Middle East.
We may need to disclose your information to other locations in certain circumstances where it may be the best place to manage the relationship and provide you with any necessary support.
For example, if you provide financial support or participate in service opportunities for an SRC project or activity in one of our international locations, elements of your personal data may be shared with the relevant SRC location in that country in accordance with this policy. We will only share your relevant details with another location in accordance with data protection laws and regulations. Other locations may legally be required to share data in accordance with their relevant domestic legislation and potential law enforcement requirements.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to fulfill your request for information or services. In doing so, we add it to our mailing list and, if we have an email address, to our email list and print publication. Those on the email list receive periodic broadcast emails with news or information about SRC ministries or services, opportunities to serve, opportunities to donate or opportunities to receive resources made available in exchange for suggested donations. Every such email includes an opportunity to opt out of future communications.
