1. Information We Collect and How We Use It
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 anonymized 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.

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.
Newsletters and Email Subscriptions
If you voluntarily sign up for our community newsletter, we collect your name and email address. We use this information strictly to send you updates, travel tips, and spiritual encouragement. This data is managed securely via a third-party email service provider, and you can opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Core Site 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.
Third-Party Embedded Content
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 that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
3. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Disclosures
To sustain our content, we partner with third-party vendors to display advertisements and track website traffic.
Google AdSense & Third-Party Ad Networks
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze web traffic, track reader behavior, and improve user experience. Google Analytics tracks data such as your IP address, browser type, and time spent on pages. This data is aggregated and anonymized. You can read how Google processes data by visiting How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
Psalms of Sarah participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a small commission on qualifying purchases made through outbound links to partner sites (such as booking platforms, airlines, or gear shops), at no additional cost to our readers. Pages containing affiliate links will always be clearly disclosed.
4. Data Retention and Sharing
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- Registered Users: For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
- Security & Spam: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
