Information Collected

The website may collect information voluntarily submitted through the contact form, including name, email address, optional affiliation or broad region, inquiry category, and message. Mailchimp will collect an email address and records needed to manage confirmation, delivery, and unsubscribe requests when a visitor separately subscribes. The hosting provider may process limited technical logs needed for operation and security.

How Information Is Used

Information is used to answer inquiries, assess proposed collaboration or materials, maintain necessary consent, permissions, correction, or safeguarding records, deliver separately requested project updates, protect the platform, and comply with applicable obligations. Contact-form information is not permission to publish and will not be repurposed for research, publication, testimony, fundraising, public storytelling, or newsletter subscription without an appropriate separate process.

Sensitive Information

Do not submit confidential testimony, conversion details, precise locations, identifying information about vulnerable people, unpublished source files, or other sensitive material through the public form.

Analytics and Cookies

The Forgotten Crosses of Persia website will not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, advertising trackers, heatmaps, session recording, or cross-site behavioral tracking. Only cookies and technical records necessary for operation, security, accessibility, form delivery, and a function deliberately requested by the visitor may be used.

Retention

Routine contact-form submissions and related correspondence will normally be reviewed and deleted within 12 months after the inquiry is resolved or the last meaningful communication occurs. Duplicate submissions stored in WordPress or a form plugin should preferably be deleted within 90 days after reliable email delivery is confirmed. Limited legal, consent, security, safeguarding, complaint, or dispute records may be retained longer when reasonably necessary.

Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law and appropriate identity verification, individuals may ask what personal information Forgotten Crosses of Persia holds about them and may request correction or deletion.
