This Privacy Policy explains how Golden Faith Publishing (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit goldenfaithpublishing.com, purchase our books and resources, use our Faith companion, or subscribe to our email. We are a small, faith-based, family-run publisher, and we treat your information with the same care we’d want for our own family.
Information we collect
- Name and email — when you create a Faith account, subscribe to our newsletter, download a free resource, or contact us.
- Your conversations with Faith — the messages you exchange with our companion, so we can provide the service.
- Order and payment information — when you buy a digital product or membership. Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not see or store your full card details.
- Basic usage information — through cookies and analytics (such as pages visited and general location), to understand how our site is used and to improve it.
How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and deliver the products, downloads, and services you request.
- To process payments and provide receipts and support.
- To send our newsletter and updates if you have consented (you can unsubscribe from any email at any time).
- To understand and improve how our website and resources perform.
- To respond to your questions and requests.
Cookies & analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (for example, which pages are most helpful). This uses cookies and collects standard, aggregated usage data. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings.
Services we rely on
We use a small number of trusted providers strictly to operate our business:
- Stripe — secure payment processing.
- Mailchimp — email newsletter delivery.
- An AI provider — to generate Faith’s responses.
- Google Analytics — website usage measurement.
- Pinterest — see “Our Pinterest integration,” below.
Our Pinterest integration
Golden Faith Publishing uses an internal tool to help us manage and analyze our own Pinterest presence. With authorization granted through Pinterest’s official login (OAuth), this tool may access information from the Golden Faith Publishing Pinterest account, including our boards, our Pins, and our Pin analytics (such as impressions, saves, and outbound clicks).
- We use this information solely for our own account management and performance analysis — for example, to see which Pins perform well and to plan future content.
- The tool accesses only the Golden Faith Publishing account that we ourselves authorize. It does not access other Pinterest users’ private information.
- Any data retrieved is used internally by Golden Faith Publishing. We do not sell it or share it with third parties.
- Authorization can be revoked at any time through your Pinterest account’s connected-apps settings.
- Our use of Pinterest data complies with Pinterest’s Terms of Service and Developer Guidelines.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers listed above, strictly as needed to operate our business, or where required by law. We do not share your information for third-party advertising.
Data retention & security
We keep your information only as long as needed to provide our services and meet legal or accounting requirements, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your information and to limit access to it.
Your choices & rights
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter any time using the link in any email.
- Access or delete your account and personal information — just email us and we’ll take care of it.
- Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal information under applicable privacy laws; we honor valid requests.
Children’s privacy
Our services are intended for adults. You must be 18 or older, or have a parent or guardian’s permission, to create an account. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll change the “last updated” date above. Continued use of our site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
