π PRIVACY POLICY
Well, friends, Debbie tells me the government β or possibly the internet itself β now REQUIRES us to have one of these so-called "Privacy Policy" pages. I told her, "Debbie, we are a CHURCH. We don't have anything to hide." And she said, "Bob, that's exactly the kind of thing a person says right before they need a lawyer." So here we are. Led by the Spirit... and also by Debbie. Praise Him!!!
"There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known." β Luke 12:2
(Pastor Robert did not select this verse ironically. He genuinely loves it.)

A Note from Debbie: I typed this whole thing myself after watching two YouTube tutorials and one webinar hosted by a man named Gerald who I am not sure was actually a lawyer. I did my best. β Debbie
π 1. What Information We Collect
Now I want to be CRYSTAL CLEAR on this one, because the liberal media would love nothing more than to say Pastor Robert is out here hoarding your personal data like some kind of digital Philistine. We are NOT.
This website does not collect, store, sell, trade, barter, or tithe your personal information. We do not ask for your name, address, social security number, or salvation status (though we have our suspicions about a few of you).
If you fill out the prayer request form or the newsletter signup on our home page β the Lord sees that, and so does Debbie, but we do not store that information anywhere. It goes straight to prayer and then to Debbie's binder. That binder is not on the internet.

Plain English: This site collects no personal data. Form submissions are not stored server-side. No database. No user accounts. Nothing.
πͺ 2. Cookies and Such
When Debbie first mentioned "cookies," I got excited. Then she explained these are not the kind you eat, and frankly I feel the Lord's people deserve better metaphors from the technology industry.
This website uses a visitor counter that stores a small number in your browser so it can count how many times you've visited. That's it. That number stays on YOUR computer. We can't see it. It does not know your name. It does not report back to us. It is essentially a very small, harmless note that you wrote to yourself.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, retargeting scripts, or any of the other things Debbie showed me on that webinar that made me feel like we were living in the Book of Revelation.

Plain English: One localStorage entry tracks your visit count locally for the visitor counter widget. No third-party cookies. No advertising or analytics cookies set by this site.
βοΈ 3. Cloudflare (Our Hosting Provider)
Now this is the part where I have to be honest with you, because honesty is a Christian value... unless it's inconvenient, in which case we call it "discernment." But in THIS case: honesty.
This website is hosted through a company called Cloudflare. I do not fully understand what Cloudflare does, but Debbie assures me it is not satanic. As part of providing their hosting service, Cloudflare may collect certain basic technical information β things like what type of browser you used, what country you're visiting from, and how fast the page loaded. They do this automatically, and we as a church do not control or access that information.
This is between you and Cloudflare. We suggest you consult their privacy policy if you are concerned. Their website is probably not as spiritually nourishing as ours, but it may be useful.

Plain English: Cloudflare, as the CDN and hosting provider, may log standard web traffic metadata (IP addresses, browser type, page requests) as part of their infrastructure. See cloudflare.com/privacypolicy for details. This site does not use Cloudflare Analytics or any additional tracking beyond their standard infrastructure logging.
π§ 4. Our Email Address
Our email address β revrobertjohnson010@gmail.com β is listed on this website so that you may contact us. If you choose to send us an email, we will receive it. We will read it. Pastor Robert reads every single one personally (Debbie prints them out and puts them in a folder labeled "INTERNET CORRESPONDENCE" in all capitals, because she knows me well).
We do not share your email address with anyone. Not with advertisers, not with the government (unless they ask very firmly and show a badge), and NOT with the liberal media, who would probably use it to send you newsletters about feelings.

Plain English: Email you send us is not shared with third parties. It is used only to respond to your inquiry.
πΆ 5. Children
This website is intended for adults and correctly-raised children accompanied by a parent or guardian who has assessed their spiritual readiness. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13 and visiting this site without your parents' knowledge, please go tell them immediately. Also consider why you were unsupervised on the internet. That is between you and the Lord, but probably also between you and your father.
Plain English: This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13, consistent with COPPA.
π 6. Changes to This Policy
If we need to update this Privacy Policy, Debbie will update it. She will also probably tell me about it, and I will say "that's fine, Debbie," and she will handle it. The "Last Updated" date at the bottom will change accordingly. We recommend checking back periodically, though we understand if you have more pressing matters, such as Bible study or watching for signs of the End Times.
π¬ 7. Contact Us About Privacy
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you may contact us at revrobertjohnson010@gmail.com. Please put "PRIVACY" in the subject line so Debbie knows which folder to use. We will respond within 3-5 business days or when the Lord moves us, whichever comes first.
If your question is very technical, Debbie may refer you to Gerald from the webinar. We cannot promise Gerald will respond.

Debbie's Final Note: I want you to know I did try to make this legally sound. Pastor Robert kept wanting to add a section called "Why Privacy Is a Liberal Concept" and I told him that was not appropriate for a legal document and also potentially a liability. He said "Debbie, everything is a liability, that's why we have Jesus." I love him but I typed this myself. β Debbie
