What GenNow Rising collects through this website, how we use it, and how the website uses Google user data.

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This policy explains what personal information GenNow Rising collects through this website, gennowrising.org, how we use it, who we share it with, and how the website uses Google user data. GenNow Rising is a Christian youth movement in Bhutan.

Who we are

GenNow Rising runs this website and is responsible for the information collected on it. You can write to us about this policy or about your information at gennowrising@gmail.com.

What we collect

  • When you register for a conference or event: your full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, the session you choose, and whether you need transport and where you will board. If you register a group, the name, age and session of each person in it. For the registration fee, the payment method you used, the journal number or transaction ID, and the screenshot of the payment that you upload. We never ask for card numbers, bank passwords or banking app log-ins.
  • Tickets and attendance: once your payment is checked, we give you a registration number and a QR code, which we email to you with a PDF ticket. When you are checked in at the venue, we record the time and the session.
  • Walk-in check-in: if you save your details on our walk-in check-in page, they are kept with your registration, and your phone keeps a code that links to them, so at the venue you only need to scan the entrance QR code. You can remove that code by clearing this site’s data in your browser.
  • Newsletter: your email address and the date you signed up. For sign-ups through our earlier form, also the internet (IP) address the sign-up came from.
  • Contact form: your name, email address and message, which are emailed to us.
  • Emails the website sends: a copy of each email the website sends is kept in the website’s email log for 14 days and then deleted automatically.
  • Visiting the website: the website does not set cookies for visitors and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking services. Like every web server, our hosting keeps standard technical logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, to keep the website secure and running.

How we use it

  • To register you, check your payment, send your ticket and confirmation, and check you in at the venue.
  • To plan our events: sessions and seats, transport, and attendance.
  • To answer your messages.
  • To send you our newsletter, if you signed up for it.
  • To keep the website secure.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Google user data: how this website uses Gmail

The website sends its emails (registration thank-you and confirmation emails with tickets, contact form messages and newsletters) through Google’s Gmail API, from GenNow Rising’s own Google account, gennowrising@gmail.com, using the FluentSMTP plugin. That is the only Google account connected to the website. Visitors never sign in with Google on this website, and the website does not access anyone else’s Google account.

The website uses this access only to send the emails it creates. It does not read, store, analyse or share the messages in the mailbox, does not use Google user data for advertising, and does not use it to develop, improve or train artificial intelligence or machine learning models. No human reads Google user data, except where needed for security, to comply with the law, or to fix a problem with sending email. The access can be removed at any time from the Google account’s security settings.

GenNow Rising’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Who we share it with

  • Our website host, Bluehost, which stores the website and its information.
  • Google, which delivers the emails the website sends.
  • The GenNow Rising team members who handle registration, payment checks and check-in.
  • Anyone the law requires us to share it with.

We do not share it with anyone else.

How long we keep it

  • Registrations, payments and attendance: for as long as we need them to run the event and keep proper records. After that, we delete them.
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove you.
  • The website’s email log: 14 days.
  • Contact messages: in our email inbox for as long as we need them to answer you.

Keeping it safe

The website uses an encrypted connection (https). Registrations and payment details are shown only to our administrators and event staff in the website’s admin area, and the check-in pages used at the venue are protected by a staff password.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Write to gennowrising@gmail.com and we will reply as soon as we can.

Young people

Many of the people who register with us are young. We collect only the information needed to take part in our events, and a parent or guardian can write to us about a young person’s information at any time.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we use information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
