What Data We Collect and Why
Email Subscriptions
If you choose to subscribe to receive updates from Bible Proclaimer, we collect your name and email address. This information is used solely to send you notifications of new articles, teaching content, and occasional ministry updates. We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Your subscription data is stored and managed through Mailchimp, a third-party email marketing service provided by The Rocket Science Group LLC. Mailchimp processes your data on our behalf in accordance with their own privacy policy, which is available at https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. By subscribing, you consent to your data being transferred to and processed by Mailchimp.
You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly. Upon unsubscribing, your data will be removed from our active mailing list. We are the data controller for the purposes of UK GDPR in respect of the personal data you provide when subscribing.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised 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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from other websites, including YouTube. Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.
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 if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

You have the right to request erasure of your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue holding it. You have the right to object to processing where we are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis.

Who We Share Your Data With
We share subscriber data with Mailchimp solely for the purpose of delivering email communications you have requested. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We do not share your data with any other third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
Subscriber data is retained for as long as you remain subscribed. Upon unsubscribing, your data is removed from our active list. You may request full deletion at any time.
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, with the exception that usernames cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Subscriber data is transferred to Mailchimp, whose servers are located in the United States. Mailchimp participates in data transfer frameworks that provide appropriate safeguards for international data transfers under UK GDPR. Full details are available in Mailchimp’s privacy policy.
