Who we are
R&G Ministries is a nonprofit organization based in California, USA. We run this website and are responsible for the information described here. You can reach us at info@rgministries.org.
The short version
- This site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.
- We only receive personal information when you choose to send it, through the contact form or by email.
- We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics that count visits without identifying you.
- We don't show ads, don't sell information, and don't track you across other sites.
- You can read, browse and leave without us knowing who you are.
Information you send us
The only personal information we collect is what you give us. When you use the contact form, we ask for your name, your email address, a subject and your message. The form sends it to our inbox by email; this site keeps nothing in a database. If you email us directly, we receive whatever you choose to include.
We use it to read and reply to you, and to follow up on what you asked about: volunteering, an invitation, or prayer.
The form also has a hidden field that people never see. If an automated program fills it in, the message is discarded. That field collects nothing from you.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how people find the site. It works without cookies and does not identify you:
- For each page view it records the page address, the site that referred you, the time, your approximate location (country and region), and your browser, operating system and device type.
- Visitors are counted with a hash created from the request, which is discarded after 24 hours. Your IP address is not stored with the analytics data.
- The script is served from our own domain, stores nothing in your browser, and cannot follow you to other websites.
- We only ever see aggregated figures, never an individual visitor's history.
Hosting and technical logs
The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. in the United States. Like any web server, Vercel's systems process your IP address, browser type and the pages you request in order to deliver them and to protect the site from abuse. Vercel keeps these request logs for a short period, and we use them only to diagnose problems and keep the site secure.
Service providers
We share information only with the providers that run the website for us, and only as needed for that purpose:
- Vercel Inc. (USA) hosts the site and provides the analytics described above.
- Resend Inc. (USA) delivers contact-form messages to our inbox by email. It processes each message in order to deliver it and keeps delivery logs for a limited time under its own privacy policy.
We may also disclose information when the law requires it. We don't sell your information or share it for marketing.
Links to other sites
The site links to our partners and to music platforms: Genesis Campos, the Manos Unidas Foundation, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music. These are ordinary links, not embedded players or trackers: nothing from those services loads until you click through. Once you do, their privacy policies apply, not ours.
Giving through the Manos Unidas link goes directly to that foundation. This site does not process donations or payments.
How long we keep information
We keep contact messages for as long as we need them to reply and follow up on the conversation, and delete them when they are no longer needed. You can ask us to delete yours at any time. Analytics data is kept only in aggregated form. Technical logs are kept briefly, as described above.
Your choices and rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you at any time by writing to info@rgministries.org. We will reply within 30 days, and we honor these requests wherever you live.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to object to or restrict our processing, to receive a copy of your data in a portable format, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Our legal basis for analytics and security is our legitimate interest in running a safe, working website; for the messages you send us, it is responding to your request.
Children
This website is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, write to info@rgministries.org and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS, so what you send through the contact form is encrypted in transit. Access to our inbox and hosting account is limited to the people who run the ministry. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the date below. If we ever start using cookies or other tracking, we will update our cookie policy and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
