Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 15, 2025

On Fire Evangelization ("we," "us," or "our") is a non-profit religious organization dedicated to evangelization, providing faith-based resources, podcasts, and community outreach through our website, jesseromero.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our visitors and supporters. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you visit or interact with the Site. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described herein.

This policy complies with applicable U.S. and international privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where relevant, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area (EEA). If you are a resident of the EEA, additional rights are outlined below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to support our mission of spreading faith and engaging our community. We limit collection to what is necessary and do not sell personal data.

Personal Information You Provide

  • Voluntarily Submitted Data: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, donation details, or feedback when you subscribe to newsletters, register for events, make donations, contact us via forms, or comment on podcasts.
  • Sensitive Data: We do not intentionally collect sensitive information (e.g., religious beliefs or health data) unless you voluntarily share it for evangelization purposes, such as prayer requests.

Automatically Collected Data

  • Log Files and Analytics: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time and date of access, and referral sources. This helps us understand Site usage and improve content.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: See Section 6 for details.

We do not collect data from children under 13. If we learn we have, we will delete it promptly (see Section 8).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information solely to advance our non-profit mission:

  • Service Delivery: Send newsletters, event invitations, or podcast updates; process donations and manage supporter accounts.
  • Communication: Respond to inquiries, provide faith-based resources, or personalize recommendations (e.g., suggesting relevant podcasts).
  • Improvement: Analyze Site traffic to enhance user experience and evangelization efforts.
  • Legal Compliance: Fulfill legal obligations or protect our rights.

Under GDPR (for EEA users), our legal bases include legitimate interests (e.g., advancing evangelization without overriding your rights), consent (e.g., for marketing), or contractual necessity (e.g., donation processing). Providing data is not a statutory requirement, but withholding it may limit services like event registration.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not share, sell, or rent personal information for commercial purposes. Disclosures are limited to:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., email platforms like Mailchimp, payment processors like PayPal, or analytics tools like Google Analytics) who assist with Site operations. They are contractually required to protect data and use it only for our purposes.
  • Partners: Anonymized or aggregated data with affiliated non-profits for collaborative evangelization (e.g., event co-hosting), with your consent where required.
  • Legal Requirements: If compelled by law, subpoena, or to protect safety/rights (e.g., fraud prevention).
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or asset sale, with safeguards.

For EEA users: We do not transfer data outside the EEA without safeguards like standard contractual clauses. Recipients include U.S.-based providers compliant with EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where applicable.

4. Data Storage and Retention

  • Storage: Data is stored securely on U.S.-based servers with encryption, access controls, and firewalls. We follow industry standards for non-profits.
  • Retention: We keep data only as long as needed for our purposes (e.g., contact details until you unsubscribe or request deletion; donation records for 7 years per IRS rules). After that, we securely delete or anonymize it.
  • Security: While we implement reasonable measures, no online transmission is 100% secure. We notify affected users and authorities of breaches as required by law.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You control your data. To exercise rights, contact us (see Section 10). We respond within 30 days (or 1 month under GDPR).

  • Access: Request a copy of your data.
  • Correction: Update inaccurate information.
  • Deletion: Request erasure (subject to legal obligations).
  • Objection/Restriction: Object to or limit processing (e.g., for marketing).
  • Portability: Receive data in a structured format (GDPR only).
  • Withdraw Consent: Opt out anytime (e.g., unsubscribe links in emails).
  • CCPA Rights (California Residents): Opt out of "sales" (we do not sell data); non-discrimination for exercising rights.

For GDPR, lodge complaints with your local supervisory authority (e.g., via https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en). No fee for requests, though we may charge for excessive ones.

To opt out of marketing: Click unsubscribe in emails or contact us. Manage cookies via browser settings (see Section 6).

8. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect data from minors. Parents/guardians: Contact us to review/delete a child's data.

9. International Users and Data Transfers

As a U.S.-based organization, data from international users (e.g., EEA) is transferred to the U.S. under GDPR-approved mechanisms. We ensure equivalent protections.

We may update this policy to reflect changes in practices or laws. We'll post revisions here with the new effective date and notify you via email or Site notice for material changes. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
