OFG Privacy Policy
OFG Ministries respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it.
This Privacy Policy explains how One Faith Gospel Ministries (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit ofgministries.com (the “Website”).
Information We Collect
Anonymized Usage Statistics
We use Jetpack Stats, a tool provided by Automattic Inc., to understand how visitors use our site (page views, popular content, referring sites, approximate geographic region, etc.).
The request causes your IP address and other metadata to be logged on Automattic’s servers and is retained for a maximum of 28 days for fraud and security checks.
The resulting statistics are anonymized and contain no personal data (name, email, exact location, etc.) for advertising or marketing purposes.
The anonymized data is used solely to improve the content and performance of this Website and is never sold to a third-party.
Contact Form Submissions
When you fill out our contact form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, and specific message.
This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
Third-Party Processing & Spam Filter
For the purpose of spam prevention, your submission data, including your IP address, browser user agent, and submission content, is processed by Cloudflare Turnstile and the Akismet anti-spam service, operated by Automattic Inc.
Cloudflare and Akismet use this data to check for and filter malicious submissions and automated spam entries. For full details on how this personal data is handled and retained, please refer to the Cloudflare and Akismet privacy policies.
Data Retention & Processing
Legitimate form submissions are retained in our database for a maximum of 90 days for record-keeping purposes. Submissions flagged as spam are deleted after 15 days.
We do not add you to any form of marketing list unless you explicitly opt in (we do not currently offer a subscription-based opt-in). We do not share this information with third parties except as required by law.
General processing of your submitted information is necessary for our legitimate interest in answering your request (GDPR Article 6).
Site-Wide Content Search
When you use our site-wide search form powered by Automattic’s Jetpack Search, search terms are processed server-side to display relevant results.
A non-essential cookie may be set temporarily for search query analytics. This cookie contains no personal data and expires when you close your browser.
The associated analytics log data collected by Automattic may include your IP address, browser type, referring page, timestamp and approximate geographic location, and is retained for 28 days.
Dedicated Bible Search
Our dedicated KJV Bible search form uses an AJAX search plugin to provide real-time, dynamic results as you type (e.g., filtering keywords, chapters, phrases etc.).
Search queries are processed entirely client-side in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to external servers or stored.
No personal information (e.g., IP address, user ID) is ever collected or tracked.
The plugin sets no cookies and performs no logging, ensuring full privacy and anonymity for exploratory searches.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
This Website uses minimal cookies and similar tracking technologies for functionality and analytics. All cookies are first-party (set by our domain) and anonymized.
Strictly Necessary Cookies:
- WordPress session cookies (for logged-in administrators only)
- Cookie notice banner accept/reject cookie (upon banner submission)
- Cloudflare Turnstile bot-protection cookies (when contact page is accessed)
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our website from bots, spam, and automated abuse. This service may place strictly necessary cookies to verify that you are a real human user when making a submission via our contact form.
These cookies are required for security and bot protection purposes. They do not track your browsing behavior for marketing or advertising.
Non-Essential Cookies:
- Analytics cookies (via Jetpack Stats/Automattic Tracks)
- Jetpack Search cookies (as above if Search is used)
These non-essential analytics cookies are set only when you interact with the website under consent and do not contain or collect personal data. They help us understand site usage through anonymized aggregate form metrics.
Because these cookies support analytics (not essential site functions), we display a cookie consent banner for EU/EEA visitors to obtain your consent before they are set. You can accept or reject these cookies via the banner or browser settings.
No advertising or third-party tracking cookies are used by this Website.
Tracking Technologies:
- Web beacons/tracking pixels
Jetpack employs web beacons (also known as tracking pixels) to send data such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, timestamp and approximate geographic location to Automattic’s servers, and is retained for 28 days.
Web beacons function similar to cookies for statistical purposes but are not stored on your device in the same way. They may load even if cookies are disabled in your browser, though functionality can be limited.
For full details about Jetpack’s statistics usage and analytics technologies, see Automattic’s Privacy Notice and Cookie Policy.
Data Retention
Anonymized statistics are retained by Automattic for as long as needed for historical reporting (typically several years).
Contact form submissions are deleted within 15 days of replying, message rejection, or spam/abuse flagging unless required for legal reasons.
Session-based cookies are deleted on browser close with no long-term storage.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data privacy protection laws including GDPR, CCPA, etc., you have the right to:
- Access, rectify, or delete your data
- Object to or restrict processing (including analytics cookies)
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent (e.g., via cookie banner)
For requests relating to the exercise of these rights, contact us at info@ofgministries.com.
