What this website does not do

These are static informational websites with no back-end database. They have no visitor accounts, no submission forms, no comments, no donation processing, no e-commerce, and no embedded third-party media. Fonts and illustrations are hosted directly on our servers. Quarter Hour does not ask for immigration status information through these websites; please do not send identity documents, legal status details, health records, or financial information by email. Our websites are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Website analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand in basic terms which pages are read. We record page views only; measurement of scrolling, form interactions, site search, and video engagement is turned off.

To measure page views, Google Analytics sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<id> that remain on your browser for up to two years solely to distinguish visitors and sessions. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. Google Signals and ads personalization are turned off in our configuration and tags: there is no cross-device tracking, no remarketing, and no advertising profiling. Google processes IP addresses briefly to derive coarse location (country, region, and city) and does not store them. We have turned off all Google data-sharing options, so analytics data from our sites is not shared for Google's own product improvement or benchmarking. Event data in Google Analytics is retained for two months and does not reset on new activity.

Using Google Consent Mode v2, storage and use of data for advertising are denied by default everywhere. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, analytics storage is also denied by default, which means analytics cookies stay off for visitors in those regions.

You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout to prevent your visits from being used by Google Analytics.

What the hosting service records

Our website hosting and email providers process standard technical server logs required to deliver pages, run the mailboxes, and protect the services. Connections to both websites use HTTPS encryption in transit, and internal access is restricted to authorized volunteers.

Email and phone contact

If you contact us at info@quarterhour.org or info@robasa3a.org, or call +1 202-743-0088, we receive the address, phone number, and message you choose to share. Standard email is not encrypted end to end. We use your correspondence only to reply and to manage the conversation; we never sell it or share it for marketing. We delete correspondence when it is no longer needed or when you ask us to, subject to legal obligations, security needs, and provider backup limits.

External links

Selecting an external link on our websites, such as an evidence source or social media profile, takes you to another website governed by its own privacy practices.

We will update this page whenever our practices change and will display the effective date on this page.
