Privacy Policy

Faith Theological Seminary (“FTS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located in Gujranwala, Pakistan, is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits our website or contacts us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you submit a form on our website — such as a contact enquiry, admission application, newsletter subscription, donation enquiry, or campus-visit request — we may collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number, and postal address;
• Academic and personal details included in an admission application, which may include certificates, identity documents (such as CNIC), and photographs;
• The content of any message, enquiry, or correspondence you send us.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server and analytics tools may automatically record limited technical information such as your browser type, device, approximate location, and the pages you visit. See “Cookies and Analytics” below for details.

Cookies and Analytics

We use a small number of cookies. Some are strictly necessary for the website and the administrator area to function. We also use Google Analytics, a web-analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use our website so that we can improve it.

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect standard internet log information and aggregated information about visitor behaviour — such as the pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how visitors arrived at our site. This information is processed in a way that does not directly identify you, and it is collected and processed by Google in accordance with its own privacy policy.

You can prevent analytics cookies by setting your browser to refuse cookies, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Declining these cookies will not affect your ability to use the website.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your enquiries and correspondence;
• To process and evaluate admission applications;
• To send newsletters, updates, or information you have requested;
• To process and acknowledge donation enquiries;
• To operate, maintain, and improve our website;
• To fulfil our administrative, academic, and legal obligations.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it only:

• With trusted service providers who help us operate our website, deliver email, and analyse site usage on our behalf (such as Google Analytics), and who are required to protect your information;
• When required by law, regulation, or a lawful request by public authorities;
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of FTS, our students, or others.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to maintain our academic and administrative records, or as required by law.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and you may unsubscribe from our communications at any time. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for prospective students, alumni, partners, and the general public. We do not knowingly collect information from young children. Admission applicants who are minors should apply with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites, including social-media platforms and partner organisations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to review their policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
