Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Victorious Christians LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates https://victoriouschristians.com and its associated mobile application as a faith-driven social network dedicated to fostering a Christ-centered community. We prioritize your privacy, and our goal is to minimize data collection while providing a meaningful user experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use our website, mobile application, or other services (“Services”).

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

We collect minimal data to operate our Services effectively. Below is a breakdown of the types of data we collect and why:

1. Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and moderation.

2. Media

If you upload images, please avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). We do not track or extract this data, but visitors can download and extract this information from images on our website.

3. 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.

4. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our site, and some are required for functionality. For example:

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies, so you don’t have to fill them out again later. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login: We use temporary cookies to ensure you can log in securely. These cookies contain no personal data and expire when you close your browser. Additional cookies may be stored to save login preferences (e.g., “Remember Me” for two weeks).
  • Editing/Publishing: When editing or publishing content, we store a cookie containing the post ID, which expires after one day.

While we aim to limit cookie use, some third-party plugins may employ cookies. We are committed to transparency and will inform you of these uses, giving you control over your cookie preferences.

5. Embedded Content

Our site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly, meaning these third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, or monitor your interaction. We do not control these external websites.

6. Analytics

We use minimal, anonymized analytics to improve our Services. These analytics do not track users across the web or collect identifying information.

7. InsightAI Chatbot

Our chatbot is powered by OpenAI and utilizes an API to generate personalized responses based on user input. Victorious Christians LLC does not store or track personal data from these interactions beyond what is necessary for immediate functionality.

8. Financial Transactions

For members who make purchases, we collect only the data necessary to process the transaction securely. Payments are processed via MemberPress, and we follow PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) protocols to protect financial information. Transaction data is retained only for legal and accounting purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except as necessary for service provision or as required by law. For instance:

  • Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.
  • Third-Party Services: Some services like OpenAI (for InsightAI) and MemberPress (for payments) process data to deliver their functionalities, but only as necessary.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
  • User Profiles: For registered users, we store the personal information provided in your user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also edit this information.
  • Financial Transactions: Transaction data is retained for 5-7 years to comply with legal obligations, such as tax and financial regulations.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data, except for data required for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

To make such a request, please contact us at contact@victoriouschristians.com.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Financial transactions are processed securely via MemberPress, which complies with industry-standard security measures.

How We Protect Your Data

We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your data. While we aim to minimize data collection, the information we do collect is protected through appropriate security protocols. All financial data is handled according to PCI-DSS standards to ensure high-level protection.

Data Collection via the Mobile Apps

Our app follows the same data collection and privacy guidelines as outlined in this Privacy Policy for the website. We do not collect additional personal or sensitive information beyond what is needed for app functionality.

Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to delete the information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
