Faith in God ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have regarding your data when you visit or interact with this website.
1. Information We Collect
a) Information You Provide Directly
When you submit a prayer request, subscribe to our newsletter, post a comment, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number (optional), and the content of the message you send.
b) Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we automatically collect:
- Your IP address and approximate geographic location (country, region, city)
- Device type, operating system, and browser
- Pages you visit, time spent on each page, and the referring website
- Cookies and similar tracking identifiers (see Cookie Policy)
c) Payment Information
All payments are processed by Paystack, a PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway. We do not store your card number, CVV, or full payment details on our server. We only record the transaction reference and status for order fulfilment.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To deliver the products, prayers, and communications you request
- To send newsletters, devotionals, and post notifications (only if you opt in)
- To understand how visitors use our site and improve user experience
- To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or abuse
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in these narrow cases:
- Service providers: Paystack (payments), our SMTP email provider, and IP-geolocation services, each bound to process data only for our specified purposes.
- Legal obligations: If required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
4. Data Security
We take security seriously. Your sensitive settings (like API keys and SMTP credentials) are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC. Your session is protected with HTTP-only, SameSite=Strict cookies. Admin access is protected by brute-force lockouts, session timeouts, and user-agent fingerprinting. However, no transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Visitor analytics are automatically pruned after a set threshold. You may request deletion at any time (see "Your Rights" below).
6. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Unsubscribe from our emails at any time (using the unsubscribe link)
- Withdraw consent for cookies via your browser settings or our cookie banner
To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@faithingod.com.
7. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will delete it.
8. Third-Party Links
Our site may contain links to third-party websites (YouTube, social platforms, Paystack). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their privacy policies separately.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced through our website or email.
