We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:

Subscribe to the Guardians of Reality newsletter.

Complete a reader, promotional, or other voluntary form.

Depending on the form you use, this information may include your name, email address, message, responses, and any other information you choose to provide.

RichO.org does not directly collect payment-card information and does not currently sell products directly through the website.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit RichO.org, limited technical information may be collected automatically by our website host and service providers. This may include:

Your Internet Protocol address.

Browser and device information.

The pages you visit.

The date and time of your visit.

General information about how visitors interact with the website.

This information may be used to operate the website, maintain security, identify technical problems, prevent misuse, and understand general website traffic.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

RichO.org uses strictly necessary cookies required for website operation. The website may also use platform analytics, analytics, marketing cookies, and cookies associated with embedded third-party content.

You may accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or manage individual categories through the cookie-preference controls. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because they are required for the website to function.

Optional integrations and tracking technologies are loaded according to the visitor’s cookie choices. Embedded YouTube videos and other third-party content may also collect technical information or use cookies according to the policies and settings of those providers.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

Respond to messages and inquiries.

Provide newsletters or other communications you requested.

Manage reader groups, promotional activities, or voluntary questionnaires.

Operate, maintain, and improve RichO.org.

Monitor website security and prevent misuse.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions provided in an email or by contacting richopublic@gmail.com.

Google Forms

RichO.org may link to or use Google Forms for newsletter subscriptions, reader questionnaires, and other voluntary submissions.

Information submitted through Google Forms is processed using Google’s services and is also subject to Google’s privacy practices. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through these forms unless it is specifically requested and necessary.

Contact Forms and Email

When you send a message through a website form or directly by email, we may retain your name, email address, message, and related correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, or address legal or security concerns.

Embedded Content and External Services

RichO.org may include embedded videos, social-media links, bookseller links, Google Forms, Substack links, and other third-party content.

Third-party services may collect information as though you visited their websites directly. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

Sharing of Information

EquipU LLC does not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share limited information with service providers when necessary to operate the website or provide requested services. These providers may include:

Hostinger, which hosts RichO.org.

Google, which may provide forms, email, embedded YouTube content, and related services.

Newsletter, social-media, analytics, or website-service providers that may be added in the future.

Comply with applicable law, legal process, or a lawful government request.

Protect the rights, safety, security, or property of EquipU LLC, RichO, website visitors, or others.

Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate records, or to satisfy legal obligations.

You may request that we delete information you previously submitted, subject to any legal or legitimate recordkeeping requirements.

Information Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information under our control.

However, no website, email system, online form, data transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If you believe that a child under 13 has submitted personal information through the website, please contact us so that we can review and delete it as appropriate.

RichO.org is operated from the United States. If you access the website from another country, information you submit may be transferred to and processed in the United States or in other countries where our service providers operate.

Privacy practices and legal protections in those countries may differ from those in your country of residence.
