Our website address is: https://jesusaccordingtojesus.com

JesusAccordingToJesus.com exists to present the words, claims, mission, death, resurrection, and authority of Jesus according to His own words, especially as recorded in the Gospels.

2. Information We May Collect

a. Basic Usage Data

We may collect limited usage data to help us understand how visitors use the site. This may include:

• pages visited
• time spent on pages
• general referral sources
• device or browser type
• approximate geographic region
• basic site-performance information

This helps us understand which articles, pages, and resources are most useful to readers. Where possible, we use aggregated or anonymized data rather than personally identifying information.

If visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comment form. This may include:

• name
• email address
• website, if provided
• comment content
• IP address
• browser user agent string

This information may be used to display your comment, manage the comment section, and help detect spam or abuse.

An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to see whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/

After your comment is approved, your profile picture, if connected through Gravatar, may be visible publicly in the context of your comment.

c. Contact Form Submissions

If you contact us through a form, we may collect:

• your email address
• your name, if provided
• your message
• any other information you choose to include

We use this information only to respond to your message, follow up on your request, or address the matter you raised.

d. Email Communications

If you email us directly or subscribe to any future email updates, we may use your email address to respond to you or send the communication you requested.

We do not sell email addresses. You may unsubscribe from optional email communications if such communications are offered.

e. Media Uploads

If the site allows visitors to upload images or other media, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS data.

Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from uploaded images.

3. Cookies

We may use cookies for basic site functionality, usability, security, comment convenience, and WordPress administration.

a. Comment Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies.

These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may last for one year.

b. Login Cookies

If the site provides login access for administrators, contributors, or registered users, WordPress may set cookies to manage login sessions and display preferences.

For example:

• a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies
• login cookies may be set when a user logs in
• screen preference cookies may be saved for administrative users
• “Remember Me” login cookies may persist longer than standard login cookies

If you log out, login cookies are removed.

c. Editing or Publishing Cookies

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It usually expires after one day.

d. What We Do Not Use Cookies For

We do not intentionally use cookies for:

• advertising profiling
• behavioral manipulation
• selling personal data
• cross-site ad tracking

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function properly without them.

4. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as:

• videos
• images
• scripture tools
• articles
• social media embeds
• external resources

Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that external website directly.

Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content, especially if you have an account with that website and are logged in.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use limited third-party services to operate, secure, and improve this site. These may include:

• website hosting providers
• WordPress plugins
• spam detection services
• analytics tools
• form-handling tools
• email-delivery services
• security or performance tools
• embedded scripture or media services

These providers may process limited data only as needed to provide their services.

We aim to use only the data reasonably necessary for site operation, communication, security, and improvement.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited data with service providers only as necessary to operate the site, respond to messages, prevent spam, secure the website, or deliver requested communications.

If password reset functionality is available and you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email as part of the standard WordPress process.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, legal process, or a legitimate security need.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Comments

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Contact Forms

Contact form submissions may be retained as long as needed to respond to your message, maintain communication history, or address administrative needs.

Registered Users

For users who register on the website, if registration is available, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile.

Registered users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they may not be able to change their username.

Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Analytics

Analytics data may be retained in aggregated or anonymized form to help us understand site usage and improve content.

We do not maintain long-term personal profiles for advertising or behavioral manipulation.

8. Your Rights Over Your Data

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• request access to personal data we hold about you
• request correction of inaccurate data
• request deletion of personal data
• object to certain processing
• request a copy of your personal data
• withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including data you provided to us.

You may also request that we erase personal data we hold about you.

This does not include data we may need to keep for administrative, legal, security, or legitimate operational purposes.

• reasonable website security practices

However, no website, server, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This site may link to external websites, including Bible resources, articles, ministries, media platforms, or other references.

We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those external websites.

You should review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
