This comprehensive privacy notice explains which personal data we collect when you enlist in Rosary Knights, what we use it for, who we share it with and how you can exercise your rights. It is drafted in accordance with Mexico's Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties and its Regulations.

Address: Río Amacuzac 1023, Col. Valle Oriente, C.P. 66269, San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, México
For anything related to your personal data you can write to us:
- By WhatsApp at +52 81 8114 9399

Data we collect
Depending on how you take part, we collect the following data:
- Identity and contact: name, WhatsApp number, email address, country, state or region, city or town, preferred language and secondary language.
- Participation in the apostolate: parish (optional), Catholic movement or group you belong to (optional), how you wish to take part, how you heard about us and the battalion you join.
- If you want to coordinate a battalion: the address and map location of the base you propose for meeting and praying.
- If you recommend someone as coordinator: that person's name and WhatsApp number; you must let them know we will contact them.
- Account: your email and a password we store encrypted or, if you choose “Sign in with Google”, the identity Google shares with us (name, email and profile picture). Also your notification preferences.
- Battalion life: your confirmed attendance at your battalion's events.
- If you are 14 to 17 years old: the name and WhatsApp number of your parent or guardian and the authorization document they upload.
- Record of consents and technical data: the date and text of the consents you give, the version of this notice you accepted, the browser you use and an anonymous fingerprint of your IP address to prevent abuse.
Sensitive data
Belonging to Rosary Knights reveals your religious convictions, which the law treats as sensitive personal data. That is why we process it only with your express consent, which you give by ticking the acceptance box on the form, and solely for the purposes of the apostolate described here. We do not collect any other sensitive data.
What we use your data for
Primary purposes
These are necessary for the relationship you begin with us when you enlist:
- Registering your enlistment.
- Directing you to the nearest battalion or helping you form a new one.
- Forming and verifying battalions and appointing their coordinators.
- Giving you access to your battalion's portal: notices, events and formation.
- Contacting you by WhatsApp or email to follow up on your enlistment.
- If you are 14 to 17 years old, requesting your parent's or guardian's authorization.
Secondary purposes
These are not essential, and you may refuse them without affecting your enlistment:
- Sending you notices about the apostolate's calls to prayer and campaigns by WhatsApp, email or other means.
- Compiling internal statistics on the growth of the apostolate, without identifying you individually.
To refuse, simply leave the notices box unticked on the form, turn off notifications in your profile, or write to us through any of our contact channels. Refusing does not affect your enlistment or your access to the portal.
All processing has a single aim: to further the purposes of the Rosary Knights apostolate. We never use your data for commercial purposes or hand it to third parties for theirs.
Processors and transfers
We do not sell or give away your data. To run the platform we use providers that process data on our behalf (processors), which means transferring data outside Mexico to countries whose protection rules may differ. They are:
- Vercel Inc. (United States): website hosting.
- Supabase Inc. (United States): database and user accounts, on Amazon Web Services servers in Virginia.
- Google LLC (United States): Google Workspace for the apostolate's email, and “Sign in with Google” when you choose it.
- Meta Platforms (WhatsApp; United States): the WhatsApp communication you agree to receive.
- OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap / Nominatim: maps and address search. When the map loads they receive your browser's IP address and, when you locate a base, the text of the address you type.
- GeoNames: city catalogue. It receives no personal data.
The platform's source code is hosted on GitHub, which receives no personal data.
The coordinators of the battalion we direct you to will know your name and WhatsApp number in order to contact you. They commit to using them only to coordinate the battalion.
Beyond the above, we will only share data when an authority requires it in accordance with the law.
Your rights
You may access, rectify, cancel or object to the processing of your data (ARCO rights), as well as revoke your consent or limit the use and disclosure of your data. To exercise them, write to us by WhatsApp at +52 81 8114 9399 or by email at enlace@caballerosdelrosario.com, stating your name and the number you registered with. We will reply within a maximum of 20 business days, as the law requires.
If you believe we have not handled your request or have violated your right to data protection, you may turn to Mexico's National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI) or the authority that legally replaces it.
If you live outside Mexico, we also recognize the rights granted to you by your country's data protection legislation.
Cookies
This site uses only the cookies it needs to work:
- The language you chose.
- Your member session, when you sign in to your account.
- The administration session, only for those who administer the platform.
- Your enlistment awaiting its last step (creating the account), for seven days.
- Your preference of having seen the cookie notice.
We measure visits with analytics that use no cookies and do not identify you personally. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
Minors
Children under 14 cannot register. If you are 14 to 17 years old, you may enlist by giving the name and WhatsApp number of your parent or guardian; your account stays on hold until we receive their authorization. If we do not receive it within a reasonable time, we delete your registration.
Retention
We keep your data for as long as you are part of the apostolate or remain interested in taking part. If you ask to leave, we delete or anonymize your record within 30 days, except for what the law obliges us to keep. The record of the consents you gave is kept as evidence for as long as the processing lasts.
Security
We protect your data with technical and administrative measures: encrypted connection, passwords stored with irreversible encryption, database access restricted to the national coordination team and a log of changes. No system is infallible; if a breach affecting your rights were to occur, we will inform you.
Consent for WhatsApp
Exact text of the box you may tick on the form:
I agree to receive notices from Rosary Knights on WhatsApp (gatherings, changes of venue or time, and follow-up on my enlistment). I can unsubscribe at any time by replying BAJA (Spanish for “unsubscribe”).
Changes to this notice
We will publish any change on this same page with a new version and date. If the change involves new purposes that require your consent, we will ask for it again.
