Privacy
What this website collects, what it doesn't, and who to ask about it.
Last updated October 8, 2026
The short version
This website does not use advertising trackers or visitor analytics, and it does not ask you to make an account. We only receive personal information when you choose to send it to us.
We do not sell the information people send us through this website.
When you write to us
The contact form asks for your name, your email address, a phone number if you want to give one, and your message. When you press send, the form emails those details to the CEF Chicago team so we can answer you. The website itself does not keep a copy.
If you email or phone us directly, we receive whatever you choose to share.
Giving and event registration
Gifts and event registrations are not handled on this website. The Give and Register buttons take you to our pages on Neon CRM, a separate service for nonprofits, which collects your details and processes any payment. Card numbers never pass through this website.
How Neon handles your information is described in Neon's own privacy policy, linked at the bottom of those pages.
What happens automatically
- Server logs. Like every website, the companies that host this one (Vercel for the pages, Supabase for stories and newsletters) receive technical details when your browser asks for a page, such as your IP address and browser type. These are used to deliver the site and keep it secure.
- Story view counts. When you open a story we add one to its view count. To avoid counting you twice, your browser remembers which stories it has opened until you close the tab. Nothing about who you are is recorded.
- Cookies. Visitors are not given cookies by this website. Team members who sign in to manage the site get a sign-in cookie.
Content from other services
Some pages show content that is delivered by another company: our Facebook and Instagram feeds on the home page, and videos from YouTube, Vimeo or Box. When that content loads, the company that provides it can receive technical details about your visit and may set its own cookies, under its own privacy policy.
Links on this site that leave it, including our social media pages and CEF's national website, are covered by those sites' policies, not this one.
Children
Our ministry is for children, but this website is written for adults: parents, churches, volunteers and supporters. It is not meant to collect personal information from children under 13, and we ask that a parent or guardian be the one to contact us or register a child for a program.
If you believe a child has sent us personal information through this website, tell us and we will delete it.
Your choices
You can ask what information we hold about you from this website, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to us using the details below and we will answer.
