Here's a long, long, long ramble about what we do or don't do with your information! We welcome any questions and comments you may have, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us. The River Radio Ministries Privacy Policy was last updated November 2021.

At the River we understand your privacy is important to you.

We respect the privacy rights of our online visitors and recognize the importance of protecting the information collected from you. Accordingly, what follows is a description of how we use the information we collect about you (collectively “Your Information”). Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to sites maintained by River and its subsidiaries, and not to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link.
