Privacy Policy

Last updated November 4, 2026

Who We Are

Rooted in God's Word Ministry publishes Scripture-based Christian devotionals written by Charle M. Faith. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit rootedingodword.com, subscribe to our newsletter, send us a message, purchase a devotional, or give a donation, and how that information is used and protected.

Information You Give Us

We collect only what you choose to share. When you join the newsletter, we collect your email address. When you send a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you write. When you purchase a devotional, the sale is completed by Gumroad, and we receive your name, email address, and order details. When you give a donation, the payment is processed by Stripe, and we receive your name, email address, amount, and confirmation of payment. We never receive or store your full card number.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our site records general technical information when you visit, such as the pages you view, the type of device and browser you use, the site that referred you, and your approximate location by country or region. This information is aggregated and used to understand how the site is being used so we can improve it.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to deliver the devotionals and resources you request, send the newsletter you signed up for, respond to your questions and prayer requests, confirm purchases and donations, keep accurate records of giving, and improve the site and our writing. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.

Email and the Newsletter

Newsletter subscriptions are managed through Mailchimp. We use your email address to send new devotionals, ministry updates, and occasional encouragement. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can leave the list at any time. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not affect any purchase or donation you have made.

Payments and Donations

Devotional purchases are handled by Gumroad and donations are handled by Stripe. These providers process your payment details under their own privacy policies and security standards. We receive only the confirmation and contact details needed to deliver your purchase, acknowledge your gift, and keep our records.

Cookies and Analytics

Our site may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to measure site traffic. Cookies do not give us access to your device beyond what is described here. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being placed; some parts of the site may not work as smoothly if you do.

Social Media

We share Scripture and devotional content on Facebook, Instagram, X, and Pinterest. If you follow or interact with us there, those platforms handle your information under their own policies. Our social pages may also use the platforms' standard measurement tools to understand how our posts are received.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep contact messages, newsletter records, purchase records, and donation records for as long as needed to serve you, honor your requests, and meet legal or accounting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we remove it.

Your Choices and Rights

You may ask us to review, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To make any of these requests, reach us through our Contact page and we will respond as promptly as we are able.

Children's Privacy

Our site and devotionals are intended for adults and mature readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information entrusted to us, and we rely on established providers for email delivery and payment processing. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security, but we work to keep your information safe.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

Contact

If you have any question about this policy or about the information we hold, please reach us through our Contact page. We are glad to hear from you.
