At Youth With A Mission (YWAM) (hereinafter, “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Organization”), we sincerely care about privacy, security, and transparency; these fundamental elements of privacy and security play an important part in our organization’s mission. Toward that, this Privacy Notice explains how we safeguard your personal information when you surf our website; it also clarifies your privacy privileges and how the law protects you. This Privacy Notice also applies to personal data you entrust to us when subscribing to our one of our services.
One of the purposes of this Privacy Notice is to explain how we collect and process personal data at ywam.org, including any data provided through the website. The information may be provided through contact forms or payment forms.
Please be informed that this website is not intended for children, defined as age 12 and under; we absolutely do not knowingly collect data from children.
We encourage you to read this Privacy Notice; it has been written to ensure you understand how we collect information, how it is safeguarded, what is collected, how it is processed, where it is processed, with whom we may share it, and your rights under the law.
This Privacy Notice applies when we are acting as the Data Controller with respect to the personal data we process about you. In other words, where we determine the purpose and the means of the processing, we are identified as the Data Controller and we are responsible for controlling and safeguarding your personal data.
This Privacy Notice does not apply to the extent we process Personal Data in the role of a Processor on behalf of YWAM Operating Locations. Youth With A Mission has created two web-based data entry platforms facilitating the storage of operational information for YWAM Operating Locations, including contact details, program descriptions, and lists of staff openings. Operating Location staff will access the Youth With A Mission data entry platforms on behalf of their Operating Location to facilitate data entry of contact information and associated operational details. All data associated with the Operating Location originates by staff of the Operating Location, not Youth With A Mission.
We are not responsible for the privacy or data security practices of YWAM Operating Locations, which may differ from those set forth in this Privacy Notice. Please reach out to the respective Operating Location for a statement of their privacy practices.

We may collect your data through direct interaction, automation, or third parties. Here’s more information about these methodologies:
To learn more about the cookies we utilize on this site please refer to our cookie notice.
We may collect the following information about you that makes you identifiable in order for us to provide a service or respond to your inquiry. This may include your name, email address, telephone number and your country of residence. If you are making a donation, the form requests additional details needed to process the donation. Further, the service logs IP addresses of visitors on the website, browser types, plug-ins, and other technical data necessary to support the service.
Sometimes we aggregate data such as statistical metrics or demographic information stemming from your personal data. It should be noted that statistical and demographic data is not personal data when it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. Only when statistical data is combined with personal data will this Privacy Notice apply.
In some instances, such as to inquire about one of our training offerings, we may receive sensitive data about you, which may be defined differently in various countries. Using Article 9 of the GDPR as a baseline, this data, if provided, may be associated with your religious or philosophical beliefs, or could include information about your health. If you provide us this information, you do so by choice and under no compulsion whatsoever. We commit to safeguard your data and provide it adequate protections, and will only use it according to the purposes set forth in this Privacy Notice and according to legal limitations.
Our Organization will only process your data according to the allowance permitted by law. In most instances, we will only use your data in the following situations:
If you have any further questions about how we process your data, or if you want to revoke your consent, please contact us at [email protected].
In the following table, we describe ways your personal information may be used; each of these uses are tied to a legal basis for processing. Further, we have also outlined wherever we have a legitimate interest to process your data where appropriate.
Requests for information: e-mails to us inquiries to Operating Locations sign ups to newsletters; responding to feedback provided to us. | Identity Data: Name. Contact Data: Email Address, Phone Number, Country of Residence. | Article 6 (a) Consent: the individual has given clear consent to process their personal data for a specific purpose. |
Payment processing Donations | Identity Data: Name. Contact Data: Email Address, Billing Address, Phone Number, Credit Card Information. | Invoices and payments are processed based on Article 6 (b) Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract you have with the individual, or because they have asked you to take specific steps before entering into a contract. |
It is also possible that we may process your personal information via more than one lawful basis depending upon the purpose for which we are using it. If you have questions about the lawful basis by which we are processing your data, please contact us at [email protected].
Many laws around the world require a controller to show it has properly considered which lawful basis applies to each processing purpose. It also requires controllers to justify the decision. Toward that, and using EU GDPR definitions below, the following lawful basis applies to processing activities noted in the table above.
You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us at [email protected].

We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice or other relevant information of every website you visit.
We will make every effort to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.
We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or if you provided us with your details when you subscribed to our newsletter and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time. Where you opt-out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a service experience or other transaction.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process or disclose your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.
Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In those cases involving the personal data of EEA individuals, processing of personal data may involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. A list of the external third parties are shown below.

Whenever we transfer personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by employing at least one (or more) of the following safeguards:
Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
We have put into place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes. With respect to information you provide to us in relation to an application for a job, we may keep this information for up to twelve years to make the processes by which we evaluate and assess candidates more efficient.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.
In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected]. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
We will occasionally update this Privacy Notice to reflect company and customer feedback. We encourage you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
