https://desperatelyseekingjesus.com is committed to ensuring your privacy and the protection of your personal information. The following paragraphs outline our policy on the kind of information we collect and how we use that information. By using this website you are consenting to the use and practices described below.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it:

We use your personal information to respond to any questions or comments that you post on our site. We may use your personal information, including your name, email address, IP address, and browser user agent string to verify your identity, check your qualifications, and help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Desperatelyseekingjesus.com does not store any of your personal identifying information on our servers, nor do we share your information with any third parties except in the unlikely event that we are either mandated by law or under certain circumstances to protect the safety of the public or users of this site.

Embedded content from other websites

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.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

California Privacy Rights

CA law requires that operators of websites and online services disclose how they respond to a Do Not Track signal and whether third parities may collect personal information about an individual’s online activities from their website or service. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

Third-Party Websites

We may, at times, have links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of those other websites. It is your responsibility to read and understand their policies.

We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time. Posting on this website will be the only notification of such modifications and will be effective immediately. It is the responsibility of the user to periodically review the Privacy Policy.
