By visiting BibleSpot at biblespot.com, you accept and consent to the practices described in this policy.
BibleSpot is committed to respecting the privacy rights of all parties interacting with us. We are grateful for the trust you place in us. The following policy outlines our privacy practices and the details and measures that we take to protect your privacy. The information that BibleSpot collects on our website is limited to the information you provide us when you donate, register for an event, purchase products from our store, subscribe to a newsletter, provide information on one of our contact forms, login to make comments on our blog posts, or complete a customer survey. BibleSpot does not share this information with anyone outside our organization or our service providers unless you expressly allow it or we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, protect a person’s safety, or address security issues. The information you provide us is understood to be in agreement with the policies detailed below.
The information you provide us is given in one of the following two lawful ways:
With Consent (GDPR Article (6)(1)(a)) – you provide consent for us to contact you with relevant and specific information about our products and services. You can control which information you receive from us by updating your preferences. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing or by contacting us directly.
Through Contract (GDPR Article (6)(1)(b)) – you provide your information to us for the purpose of completing a service you have asked us to provide, such as making a donation, registering for an event, subscribing to an email newsletter, purchasing a coaching session or package, purchasing a coaching or discipleship program, contacting us through a contact form, submitting a survey, or fulfilling an order you have placed with us.
When you make a donation on BibleSpot’s website, we collect your name, mailing address, email address, phone number (optional), donation amount, and payment information. The personal information you provide us is used to process your donation and add you to our donor database, which includes an email address, mailing address, and phone list so that we may contact you about updates regarding your investment in the ministry of BibleSpot. This information is protected using SSL encryption. Your payment information is securely transmitted to our payment processor in order to process the contribution, and it is not stored on our end. We maintain your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and donation amount in order to comply with accounting requirements, manage receipting, and provide your donation history. If you want to change, update, or remove your name and contact information on our donor list, you can do it by emailing us.
When you sign up for our e-newsletter, we collect your name and email address. We use this information to send you what you’ve requested from us (e.g., our monthly e-newsletter). We do not sell our mailing lists (email or physical) or your name and email address to anyone outside our organization. Occasionally, we will send emails on behalf of a partner organization that we believe offers a product, event, or service that may interest our users. In those cases, no data is ever shared with the partner organizations. If you want to change, update, or remove your name and email address on our list, you can do that by clicking “Update Profile Form” or “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any received email or by emailing us.
When you register for an event, we collect your name, billing address, email address, event-related selections (e.g., breakout session choices), add-on product information (e.g., conference books), church information, demographic information, and payment information. All information is protected using SSL encryption. We do not sell this information to any other party. We use the information you provide to process your event registration, communicate with you about the event, send occasional updates from BibleSpot, and notify you about future event opportunities. If you want to change, update, or remove your name and contact information on our list, you can do that by clicking “Update Profile Form” or “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any received email or by emailing us. Your payment information is securely transmitted to our payment processor so that the contribution can be processed, and it is not stored on our end.
When you purchase items from BibleSpot’s online store, we collect your name, email address, mailing address, payment information, and product purchase information. We do not sell this information to any other party. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of particular features. Your payment information is securely transmitted to our payment processor in order to process your transaction, and it is not stored unless you request that we store your payment information in your personal store account. If you choose to have your payment information stored, it is done securely by our payment provider, Stripe. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as processing your orders, responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.
When you contact us through our contact form or a survey, we collect your name, email address, contact message, and survey answers. All information is protected using SSL encryption. We do not sell this information to any other party. We use the information that you provide to respond to your requests, communicate with you, and gather survey data that you provide to us.

We keep contact form entries and customer surveys for six months, speaker inquiry form entries and analytics records for a year, and customer purchase and donation history records for four years.
If you leave a comment on our site, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

You can access your account anytime and see, edit, or delete your personal information (except you cannot change the username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. We store this information about you for as long as your account exists.
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 must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Your comments on our website may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
