Privacy Policy
Most privacy policies are very long and hard to understand. I will try to make ours simple to understand and to the point. A Privacy Policy is just a document that explains how a website uses your data and how it is collected.
Our website address is christianbibleverses.com. When we say we this is who we mean.
Data Collected With Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
The reason why we save your IP address when you make a comment is for our website’s safety. Hackers and spammers use the comment section of websites as a way to hurt the website. We need the ability to block these unwanted attacks via the IP address.
IP Addresses and Analytics
When you visit our website we collect data about your location and device type. We do this for several reasons. The first reason is that our website needs to know your device’s specifics to serve the proper sized images and files. We also track every type and general location of each device to understand how people use our website. This is standard analytics and all websites do it.
We do not resolve IP addresses to exact physical addresses nor do we know your device’s exact address. The information we collect only shows us which city, state, and province a user comes from.
We do not share your IP address with third parties. This is possible by using anonymous IP logging that changes your IP address while recording the network location. We use Google Analytics Software as well as Jetpack Analytics. You can read the Google Analytics Privacy Policy here. Follow this link to learn how to opt out of Google Analytics tracking. This product is the industry standard and it is used by most of the world’s websites.
Your Privacy and Online Shopping
When you purchase a product on our website we do create a record of this purchase. We will document all of the information used to complete the purchase outside of your payment details. We will keep your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number if applicable. We have to keep these records to comply with tax codes and return policies.
Our website has NO ACCESS to your payment details. We use secure third-party companies that specialize in processing payments. These payment gateways operate on servers that our website does not have access to. This website’s shop receives a response from these companies that the payment is valid or invalid when we process an order. We never record payment details or bank account information though the third-party vendors may ask you if you want to save this information on their servers to make online shopping easier.
Our online shop does require browser cookies to function properly. Click here to learn more about our cookie policy.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
WE ARE NOT responsible for any cookies or data collection that happens before or after you leave our website. Click on links at your own discretion and risk. We constantly scan our website for malware and we are confident in its safety though security threats are constantly evolving and there is always some risk to anyone who uses the internet for any reason.
Newsletter and Email Subscribers
If you subscribe to our newsletter you agree to let us contact you at the email address you provide. We safely store email addresses according to industry standards and applicable laws. When you unsubscribe from the email newsletter we automatically delete your email address. No further action is required. We never share email addresses with anyone. If you make a purchase at our shop you are agreeing to let us contact you by email about your purchase. You can opt out of this contact after the return policy deadline is passed.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. This only applies to people working for us because no one else is allowed to create an account. We share your cookies with third-party advertisement companies to personalize the ads. These cookies DO NOT have any personal data attached such as name, or email address. This is a common practice as I stated before.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. You can contact us if you want this data erased but honestly, there isn’t really ever a need for that. The data literally just lets us know that you visited our website and made a comment. We can not guarantee a comment will be deleted by us or anyone, ever. If you make a comment it is likely permanent so think about this before saying something rude or hateful.
We keep records of sales made in our online shops for seven years. After seven years these records are automatically deleted. We have to keep sales records for seven years to keep from violating US tax laws.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service although we usually don’t do this. Our comments are checked for certain keywords and we use invisible-to-humans devices that weed out spambots. Your location and device type will be recorded by a third-party analytics company for our use only and this is done in a way that keeps you anonymous.
