1. Introduction
At Rock & Root Initiative, we value your trust and are fully dedicated to keeping your personal information safe. This policy outlines our approach to collecting, managing, and securing your data when you interact with our website, join our community, register for events, or support our mandate.
2. The Information We Collect
To effectively coordinate our programs and connect with our community, we may need to request specific pieces of information from you. This generally includes:
- Personal Details: Names, titles, and occasionally marital status (especially when registering for family or marriage-oriented programs).
- Contact Information: Email addresses and phone numbers so we can keep you updated.
- Event & Support Data: Payment confirmations regarding donations or paid conference tickets (please note that actual card details are safely processed by third-party gateways and not stored on our servers).
- Digital Footprint: Basic technical data like your IP address, browser type, and general site behavior, which helps us improve your online experience.
3. How We Gather Your Information
We primarily collect information when you directly provide it to us—for example, when you fill out our "Get Involved" form, sign up for a conference like True Alignment, or reach out to us via email. Additionally, our website may passively record basic browsing metrics to help us understand how our resources are being used.
4. Why We Use Your Information
We only use your data to serve you better and facilitate our organizational goals. This includes:
- Registering you for events, volunteer roles, or partnerships.
- Processing your gifts and donations securely.
- Responding to your inquiries and managing our ongoing relationship.
- Sending you ministry updates, program announcements (like Sitting With The Meds), and resources (you can always opt out of these communications at any time).
- Ensuring our website remains secure and functional for everyone.
5. Protecting Your Data
We take data security seriously. We have implemented practical safeguards designed to prevent the unauthorized access, alteration, or accidental disclosure of your personal information. We respect your privacy and will never sell your personal details to external marketing agencies.
6. Policy Updates
As our programs grow, we may occasionally update this policy to reflect new practices. We encourage you to review this page periodically. By continuing to use our website and services, you signal your agreement with our current data practices. Let us know if your contact details change so we can maintain accurate records!
