Privacy Policy
At Rivers of Hope, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information on our WordPress website. Please read this policy carefully, and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, and phone number, when you fill out a contact form or sign up for our newsletter. We also collect information automatically through cookies and other tracking technologies, such as your IP address and browsing history on our website.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to respond to your inquiries and provide you with information about our services. We may also use your information to send you newsletters or marketing materials, but you can opt out of receiving these communications at any time. We may use non-personal information, such as your browsing history, to improve our website and better understand our audience.
How We Protect Your Information
We take the security of your personal information seriously and use industry-standard security measures to protect it. However, no transmission of data over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information. By using our website, you acknowledge and accept the risks associated with transmitting personal information online.
Sharing Your Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. However, we may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us with our website and business operations, such as website hosting and email marketing services. We require these service providers to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we hired them.
Your Rights
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information that we hold. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information or to request a restriction on its processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with legal requirements. We encourage you to check this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
