Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files that help the site work and help us understand how it is used. We use:
• Strictly necessary cookies to run the site
• Analytics cookies to see what is popular and fix issues

• Pinterest Tag for analytics and campaign measurement
• Spam protection such as Akismet or similar
• Email service such as MailPoet for newsletters
• Video or community platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Zoom, or Discord when linked or embedded
These providers may set their own cookies or act as independent controllers. Please review their privacy notices for details.
Targeted advertising, sale, and sharing
We may use analytics and pixels to understand what content is helpful and to measure promotions. Some US state laws define this kind of data use as a “sale” or “sharing.”
• You can opt out of targeted advertising and of the sale or sharing of personal information through the Your Privacy Choices link in our footer.
• We honor universal opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control when they are present in your browser.
Affiliate links
We use affiliate links, including Amazon Associates and other programs. Clicking an affiliate link may set a cookie so the seller knows how you found their site. We only recommend products we genuinely believe are helpful.
E-commerce, payments, and bookings
When you purchase or book, we collect name, email, items purchased, and timestamps. Payment information is handled directly by our payment processors such as Stripe or PayPal. We do not store full card numbers. We keep order records for tax and accounting.
If you schedule a call, a scheduling or video tool may process your data to deliver the session.
Sensitive information and prayer requests
You may choose to share prayer requests or testimony details. This information can reveal religious beliefs or other sensitive details. We use it only to respond, pray, or provide support. If you want it deleted, email [email protected].
How long we keep information
• Comments and their metadata: kept indefinitely to maintain discussion history
• Email subscribers: kept until you unsubscribe or after two years of inactivity
• Orders and booking records: kept for up to seven years for tax and accounting
• Server and security logs: typically kept up to twelve months
• Prayer requests or contact messages: kept up to twelve months unless you ask us to delete sooner
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information with trusted providers who help us run the site and deliver services, for example:
• Hosting, security, and spam detection
• Email delivery and automation
• Analytics and measurement
• Payment processing
• Video and community platforms
• Scheduling tools if used
We require vendors to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
Data transfers
Our site and vendors may process data in the United States and other countries. When data is transferred outside the EU or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent.
