Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, maintenance, and disclosure of information by Mymicasa.org, a service provided by Yeshua's Lighthouse Inc, for users (referred to as "Clients" or "Users") of the Mymicasa.org website. This Privacy Policy applies to the Mymicasa.org website and all products, services, and activities offered by Mymicasa.org.

Information Collection and Use

Mymicasa.org collects information from Clients, volunteers, advisors, advocates, and individuals seeking spiritual support and/or assistance with housing and other resources. The collected information may include personal identification details such as name, address, email address, and phone number. This information is voluntarily provided by Users and is used internally to provide the requested assistance, community service, advocacy initiatives, spiritual support, and related activities.

Donations

Please note that contributions to Yeshua's Lighthouse Inc, the managing entity of Mymicasa.org, are not tax-deductible at this time. Yeshua's Lighthouse Inc is a tax-exempt interfaith spiritual ministry but is not federally recognized as a non-profit organization. We appreciate your support and understanding.

Information Sharing

Mymicasa.org may share generic aggregated demographic information, not linked to any personal identification information, with partners, affiliates, and advertisers. Personal information is not sold to third parties. Mymicasa.org operates an online store that utilizes third-party services to ship ordered products. However, it is important to note that Mymicasa.org is not responsible for the information collected by Etsy.com or our printing partners. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of these third-party platforms.

Legal Protections

By using our services and website, you agree that Mymicasa.org cannot be held legally responsible for services provided by partnering agencies and independent contractors, including Trehaus LLC, our founder, or church officers. Any spiritual support and resources provided are done so with the intent of ministry and helping others and are protected under the Good Samaritan Act. Additionally, the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects the freedom of religion and freedom of speech, which includes the right of ministers to offer religious advice or guidance without facing legal repercussions solely based on the content of their advice. Some states also recognize a clergy-penitent privilege, similar to the lawyer-client privilege, which protects confidential communications between a religious leader and an individual seeking spiritual guidance. However, it is important to note that this privilege is not universally recognized and may have limitations.

User Rights

Users have the right to access, delete, or opt-out of the sale of their personal information. To delete information, please email ken.rorabaugh@mymicasa.org.

Data Retention

Mymicasa.org retains collected information indefinitely unless requested to delete by the user.

Non-Profit Status

Yeshua's Lighthouse Inc, the managing entity of Mymicasa.org, is an interfaith omnist ministry based in San Diego County and incorporated in California in 2021. While Yeshua's Lighthouse Inc is a tax exempt organization registered with the state secretary office in California, it is not federally recognized as a non-profit organization. Churches, like other religious organizations, automatically qualify for federal income tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, regardless of applying for formal 501(c)(3) status. This means they generally do not need to pay federal income tax on their income. The church officers will vote in 2025 to apply for federal recognition.

Mymicasa.org has the discretion to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When changes are made, the updated date will be revised at the bottom of this page. Users are encouraged to frequently check this page for any changes in order to stay informed about how we protect the personal information we collect. Users acknowledge and agree that it is their responsibility to periodically review this Privacy Policy and become aware of any modifications.
