Website privacy notice

About this website

This notice explains the information used by this website’s inquiry and volunteer interest forms. It does not replace separate program intake, volunteer screening, donation-provider, or safeguarding notices.

Preview forms

While a form is marked “Preview only,” responses remain in the open page. They are not submitted to Cross Rails Ministries or saved by the website in cookies or browser storage. Leaving or reloading the page clears them. Printing a response creates a separate copy on your device or printer.

Information in a connected form

When online submission is enabled, an inquiry may include your name, email address, optional phone and city, interest areas, availability, experience, message, and consent selections. The ministry uses this information to respond, review volunteer interests, and coordinate appropriate next steps.

These forms are intended for adults. A parent, guardian, or referring professional should make initial inquiries about children. Please do not include children’s names, medical information, trauma histories, Social Security numbers, background-check materials, or payment card information.

Service providers and payments

The hosting service and any connected form provider may process technical data, such as IP addresses and request logs, as part of delivering and protecting the service. Submitted forms may be processed by the ministry’s configured form provider. If an external form or donation service is linked, its privacy notice and terms apply to information entered there.

This website does not collect payment-card details. When connected, financial gifts are completed through the ministry’s donation provider.

Cookies and analytics

This website’s own code does not set tracking cookies, load advertising trackers, or use analytics tools. Hosting services or linked external services may have their own data practices.

Your choices

Consent to an inquiry response does not subscribe you to marketing. To ask about access, correction, or deletion of information you have submitted, contact the ministry through the contact page. Information may need to be retained for legitimate operational or recordkeeping purposes.
