Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 23, 2026 Last Updated: July 23, 2026
Anchors of Faith respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently, and securely.
This Privacy Policy explains how Anchors of Faith and Anchors of Faith Publishing, collectively referred to as “Anchors of Faith,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” collect, use, store, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit anchorsoffaith.org, subscribe to the Stay Anchored newsletter, download a free resource, purchase a digital product, create a customer account, submit a contact form, prayer request, or TRUTH TALK question, participate in a survey or ministry activity, or communicate with us by email or social media.
By using our websites or voluntarily providing personal information, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy, which should be read together with our Terms and Conditions, Digital Product Policy, and Refund Policy.
1. About Anchors of Faith

Privacy email: [privacy@anchorsoffaith.org] General email: [contact@anchorsoffaith.org] Business address: [Insert business mailing address]
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through our website, forms, emails, purchases, account registrations, downloads, and surveys. It does not apply to third-party websites or platforms we link to, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, payment providers, or email marketing platforms — those services operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
3. What Is Personal Information?
Personal information is information that identifies you or can reasonably be connected with you. Depending on how you interact with Anchors of Faith, this may include:
- Your name, email address, billing address, country or region, and telephone number, if voluntarily provided
- Customer account, order, purchase, and download information
- Newsletter preferences, contact-form messages, prayer requests, and TRUTH TALK submissions
- Survey responses and technical information about your device, browser, or IP address
- Cookie identifiers, website activity, and communications with customer support
Information that has been aggregated or anonymized so that it can no longer reasonably identify you may not be treated as personal information.
4. Information You Provide Directly
Newsletter Subscriptions
When you join the Stay Anchored newsletter, we may collect your first name, email address, subscription date, consent record, areas of interest, and email engagement. We use this to send the content you requested and other communications described at sign-up.
Free Resource Downloads
When you request a free guide (such as When Your Mind Will Not Settle or the Pillars of Promise 7-Day Devotional Sample), we may collect your name, email address, the resource requested, and consent preferences. The sign-up form should clearly explain whether requesting the resource also subscribes you to the newsletter.
Purchases and Customer Accounts
When you make a purchase, we may collect your name, email, billing address, product purchased, order number, purchase date, payment status, and download activity. Payment card information is processed by our payment provider — Anchors of Faith should not directly store complete card numbers, security codes, or banking credentials. If customer accounts are available, we may also collect a username and securely processed password credentials; you are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
Contact Forms, Prayer Requests, and TRUTH TALK Questions
When you contact us, submit a prayer request, or submit a TRUTH TALK question, we may collect your name or chosen identifier, email address (if provided), country or region, inquiry category, subject, message, and any information needed to address your request. Please do not send passwords, complete payment-card details, banking credentials, government identification numbers, or medical records through ordinary forms. Prayer requests are intended for spiritual support and are not monitored as an emergency, counselling, medical, or crisis-response service; please share only what is necessary and avoid confidential information about another person without permission.
Collaborations and Ministry Inquiries
When you submit a collaboration, speaking, media, or licensing request, we may collect your name, email, organization, role, website, event information, and project details.
5. Information Collected Automatically
When you use our website, information may be collected automatically through cookies, server logs, and analytics tools, including your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, referring website, pages visited, and general navigation and download activity. We use this to operate and secure the website, understand performance and content engagement, diagnose technical problems, and prevent fraud or misuse. Where required, non-essential cookies should not be activated until the visitor has given appropriate consent — see our separate Cookie Policy for more information.
6. Information from Third Parties
We may receive limited information from third-party services used to operate the ministry and store, including Hostinger, our website/ecommerce platform, payment processors, email marketing providers, analytics providers, and spam-prevention services. The information received depends on the service and permissions you provide — for example, a payment processor may confirm a transaction was successful without disclosing your complete card information to us.
7. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to operate our websites, process purchases and deliver files, manage accounts and newsletter subscriptions, respond to support requests and contact forms, review prayer requests and TRUTH TALK submissions, manage collaborations and licences, detect fraud and troubleshoot problems, improve our content and services, maintain business and tax records, enforce our policies, and comply with legal obligations. We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without providing appropriate notice and obtaining consent where required.
8. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis, we may process personal information under: Consent (newsletter sign-up, marketing communications, non-essential cookies, or permission to share a submission — you may withdraw consent at any time); Contractual necessity (completing a purchase, delivering a product, managing your account, providing support); Legitimate interests (operating and securing our websites, understanding content use, preventing fraud, maintaining business records); Legal obligations (tax, accounting, consumer-protection, and court requirements); and, in rare circumstances, protection of vital interests where necessary to protect someone from immediate and serious threat to life or safety — though this website should not be relied upon as an emergency-response service.
9. Email Communications
When you subscribe, request a resource, or make a purchase, we may send resource-delivery emails, order confirmations, customer-service messages, Scripture reflections, devotional content, TRUTH TALK updates, publishing news, and selected promotional offers. Transactional emails (receipts, download links, account notices) may continue even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails. Marketing emails include a clear unsubscribe link, and you may also update your preferences or contact us at [privacy@anchorsoffaith.org] at any time; it may take a reasonable period for a request to be fully reflected across all systems.
10. Cookies, Analytics, and Payment Processing
We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, maintain shopping-cart sessions, remember preferences, support secure login, and measure traffic and engagement. Cookies may be strictly necessary, functional, analytics, or marketing — where legally required, visitors should be given a choice before non-essential cookies are activated.
Current analytics provider: [Insert provider, or state “No external analytics provider currently used”]. Payment providers: [Insert Stripe, PayPal, Hostinger-supported provider, or other provider]. We should not receive or store your complete card number or security code when payments are processed entirely by an authorized third-party provider.
11. Hosting, Email Service Provider, and Embedded Content
Our website is hosted and supported by Hostinger. Hosting provider: Hostinger. Website platform: [Insert WordPress, WooCommerce, or another platform]. We may also use a third-party platform to store subscriber information and deliver newsletters and free resources — email service provider: [Insert provider]. Our website may include embedded or linked content from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest; interacting with embedded content may allow the external provider to collect information about your device or activity, governed by that provider’s own privacy practices.
12. When We Share Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We may disclose limited information to trusted service providers who help us operate the ministry and store — hosting companies, ecommerce and payment providers, email marketing and analytics providers, cloud-storage and security providers, and professional advisers — who should only receive what is reasonably necessary and must protect it appropriately. We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a lawful court order, investigate fraud, enforce our agreements, protect our rights or someone’s safety, or support a business restructuring or transfer.
13. International Data Transfers
Anchors of Faith is based in St. Kitts and Nevis, but its service providers and visitors may be located in other countries, so personal information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence. Where required, we will seek to use appropriate safeguards such as contractual data-protection terms and provider security commitments. By using our services, you acknowledge that international processing may occur, subject to applicable law.
14. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including legal, accounting, tax, security, and contractual purposes. Newsletter records are kept while you remain subscribed and briefly afterward to document consent; purchase and transaction records are kept as required for accounting, tax, and fraud-prevention purposes; prayer requests and TRUTH TALK submissions are kept only as long as needed for the stated purpose; and website logs are kept for a limited period for performance and security. Information may be retained longer where required by law.
15. Data Security and Data Breaches
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information, including secure hosting, HTTPS encryption, access controls, and security monitoring — but no method of online transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and you are responsible for using secure passwords and protecting your account credentials. If a security incident affects personal information, we will assess the impact and, where required by law, notify affected individuals, service providers, or regulators.
16. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know whether we process your information, request access, correction, or deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, request a portable copy, opt out of marketing, and make a complaint to an appropriate authority. These rights may be limited by legal exceptions — for example, we may need to retain certain transaction information for tax or legal purposes.
To submit a privacy request, contact [privacy@anchorsoffaith.org] with the subject line “Privacy Request,” describing the right you wish to exercise and the information involved. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
17. European, UK, and California Privacy Rights
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law applies, you may have rights relating to access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, and complaint to a supervisory authority, including the right to object to direct marketing at any time. Anchors of Faith does not currently use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Where California privacy law applies, California residents may have rights to know what is collected, request access, deletion, or correction, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and limit certain uses of sensitive information. Anchors of Faith does not sell personal information for money.
18. Children’s Privacy
Anchors of Faith creates some content relevant to teenagers and youth ministries, including TRUTH TALK and youth Bible resources. However, our store, newsletter, and account services are not intended to collect personal information directly from young children without parental or guardian involvement. Individuals below the legally required age of digital consent should not create an account, make a purchase, subscribe independently, or submit identifying information or a personal prayer request without first obtaining permission from a parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians may contact [privacy@anchorsoffaith.org] with concerns.
19. Sensitive Information, Emergencies, and Third-Party Links
Because Anchors of Faith is a Christian ministry, some submissions may reveal information about religious beliefs, prayer needs, emotional struggles, or health concerns; please share only what is reasonably necessary, and do not send information requiring medical, legal, counselling, or safeguarding confidentiality protections through ordinary website forms. Anchors of Faith does not operate an emergency, crisis, or counselling service, and website forms and email accounts may not be monitored continuously — if you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis provider rather than this website. Our website may also contain links to third-party sites; we are not responsible for their privacy or content practices.
20. Business Changes and Policy Updates
If Anchors of Faith undergoes a reorganization, merger, or transfer, personal information may be transferred as part of that process where legally permitted, and any successor is expected to handle information consistently with this Privacy Policy unless you receive notice of a change. We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change; the revised policy will display an updated “Last updated” date, and material changes may be communicated by additional notice where appropriate.
