What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us with spam detection and moderation.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). While we do not track this data, visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact Forms
Any information submitted through contact forms is used solely to respond to your inquiries. We do not store this information beyond what is necessary to address your request.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our site. For example:
- Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login: 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 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.
- Editing and Publishing: 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.
While we intentionally limit cookie use, some third-party plugins may utilize cookies. We are committed to transparency and will inform you of any such uses, allowing you to manage your preferences.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. Victorious Christians LLC does not monitor or track these interactions.
Analytics
We utilize minimal analytics to improve user experience and site functionality. Any analytics used are anonymized and do not track individual user behavior across the web.
InsightAI Chatbot
Our InsightAI chatbot is powered by OpenAI, utilizing an API to deliver personalized responses. While the chatbot processes data to generate these responses, Victorious Christians LLC does not store or track personal data from these interactions beyond what is necessary for immediate functionality.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your personal data with third parties, except as necessary to provide our services (e.g., spam detection services) or as required by law.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
- User Profiles: 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 (except for their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
