Contact Form Submissions
The Next Rise uses a contact form powered by WordPress.com and Jetpack.
When you submit a message, your information is stored within the website’s WordPress system, and an email notification is sent to the website administrator. Technical details, such as your IP address and submission time, may also be recorded.
Contact information is used to respond to inquiries and manage correspondence. Messages are retained for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes, unless a longer period is required by law.
Cookies and Website Analytics
The Next Rise is hosted on WordPress.com, which may use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, security, performance, and visitor statistics.
You can manage or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not function as intended if certain cookies are disabled.

Information Sharing and Security
Website hosting, contact forms, and related services are provided by WordPress.com and its service providers. Information may be processed by these providers to operate, maintain, and protect the website.
Reasonable steps are taken to protect information, but no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure.
