Privacy Policy

Last updated: Oct 14, 2026

1. Overview

Thrive In Life, Inc. ("Thrive In Life," "Thrive Ministries," "we," "us" or "our") collects as little personal information as possible. You can browse and download our free resources without creating an account or giving us your name.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through www.thriveinlife.ph (the "Website"), how we use and protect it, and your rights under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) and its implementing rules. It forms part of our Terms of Use.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need, in three situations:

✓ When you browse or download resources. We may automatically collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, files downloaded, and the date and time of your visit. This happens through server logs and cookies (see Section 4).

✓ When you contact us. We collect your name, email address and the content of your message when you email [email protected] or use a contact form.

✓ When you choose to become a ministry partner. We collect the details you provide through the partnership form, such as your name, email address, mobile number, birth date, and contribution details.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, such as details about your health, government IDs or religious affiliation, beyond what you choose to share in a message to us.

If you give a contribution as a ministry partner, payment details are handled directly by our officers. We do not store your full card or bank account details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only for these purposes:

✓ Delivering the Website and its downloadable resources

✓ Understanding which resources are helpful so we can improve them

✓ Keeping the Website secure and preventing misuse, such as unauthorized copying or scraping

✓ Answering your questions and permission requests

✓ Managing ministry partnerships, including acknowledging contributions and sending partner updates you have agreed to receive

✓ Complying with legal obligations

We process your information based on your consent, our legitimate interests in running and protecting the Website, and compliance with the law, as allowed by Sections 12 and 13 of the Data Privacy Act.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We do not use it for automated decisions or profiling.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use them to keep the Website working and to understand how visitors use it.

✓ Essential cookies make the Website and downloads function properly.

✓ Analytics cookies help us count visits and downloads.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect some parts of the Website.

5. Sharing Your Information

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the Website and ministry, and only as much as they need:

CommandShift, which hosts the Website and its server logs

SaligPay, which handles ministry partner contributions

CommandShift, which provides visitor statistics

CommandShift / Google Mail, which sends partner updates, if you opt in

These providers must protect your information and use it only on our instructions. Some may store data on servers outside the Philippines. When this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information receives protection comparable to Philippine law.

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order or a government authority, or to protect our rights, our resources or the safety of others.

6. Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law:

✓ Server logs and analytics: 12 months, then deleted or anonymized

✓ Messages to us: until your inquiry is resolved, plus 1 year for reference

✓ Ministry partner records: while you remain a partner, and afterward as long as tax and accounting laws require

We use reasonable organizational, physical and technical measures to protect your information, including secure (HTTPS) connections and restricted access for authorized staff. No online system is completely secure. If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to harm you, we will notify you and the National Privacy Commission as the law requires.

7. Your Rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to:

✓ Be informed about how your personal information is collected and used

✓ Access the personal information we hold about you

✓ Object to processing, including withdrawing consent to partner updates at any time

✓ Correct inaccurate or incomplete information

✓ Erase or block information that is outdated, unlawfully obtained or no longer needed

✓ Data portability, meaning a copy of your information in a commonly used electronic format

✓ Claim damages for harm caused by inaccurate or unlawfully used information

✓ File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph)

To exercise any of these rights, email us using the details in Section 9. We may ask you to verify your identity first. Every partner email will also include a way to unsubscribe.

8. Children and Changes to This Policy

✓ Children. Our resources are open to everyone, including young people. However, we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without a parent's or guardian's consent. Minors who wish to contact us or become ministry partners should do so with a parent or guardian. If you believe a minor has given us personal information without consent, please contact us and we will delete it.
