RISE MINISTRIES may share your information with carefully selected Vendors. This includes companies that manage accounts and companies that perform marketing services and other business operations on RISE MINISTRIES’ behalf. All companies that act on RISE MINISTRIES’ behalf are required to safeguard Personal Information.

RISE MINISTRIES may share your information with carefully selected “Business Partners” that may wish to offer you products or services that may interest you, either in conjunction with RISE MINISTRIES or by themselves.
