Don’t Website Privacy Policies Scare People Off?

No.  In fact, telling people exactly how you’re using their information should reassure them.

In the end, every piece of information you collect is designed to help people achieve their goals.  For example, cookies allow your website to load more quickly on people’s browsers.  In the case of forms, entering personal information helps people to accomplish their goals, like planning their visit.  Just make sure you explain why you’re collecting that information and how your church uses and stores it.  

Bottom line?  Asking for people’s personal information is not inherently bad, and having an easy-to-understand website privacy policy shows that your church can be trusted.
