Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 18, 2026 · Last Revised: July 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how pastory.org — the personal ministry website of Rev. Young Kang (“Pastor Young,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) — collects, uses, and protects information you share when you visit or interact with this site.

Information We Collect

You may choose to share information with us in two places: the contact form on the Connect page (your name, email address, and message) and the newsletter signup (your email address). We also receive basic technical information automatically when you visit — such as browser type, device, and pages viewed — which helps us keep the site working well.

How We Use Your Information

We use what you share to reply to your messages, to send the newsletter you subscribed to, and to improve this site. That is all. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and this site carries no advertising.

How We Protect Your Information

The site uses encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure managed hosting. We take reasonable measures to protect what you entrust to us, though no internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Cookies and Analytics

This site uses cookies and similar technologies for basic functionality (such as page caching) and uses Google tools — including Search Console and analytics — to understand, in aggregate, how visitors find and use the site. Analytics information is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can limit or block cookies in your browser settings.

Services We Rely On

A few trusted services help run this site, and information you submit may be processed by them: our hosting provider (Hostinger), our form service (WPForms), our email newsletter delivery services, and Google (analytics and search tools). Each has its own privacy policy. The site also links out to third-party sites — such as Trinity UMC’s website, Facebook, and YouTube — whose privacy practices are their own.

Your Choices

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link that works immediately. You may also email us anytime to ask what personal information we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

When this policy changes, the update is posted on this page with a revised date. Meaningful changes will be noted in the newsletter.
