Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Sacred Flame Stories is a creative project focused on Christ-centered romance, worship, and resources that support holy intimacy within covenant marriage. This website is primarily informational and promotional.

We do not sell your personal information. We aim to collect only the information reasonably needed to communicate with you, provide requested resources, operate this site, and improve our work.

• Messages or information you choose to send when you contact us directly.
• Basic technical and usage information that may be collected automatically by our website host, domain provider, analytics tools, or embedded services. This can include IP address, browser or device type, pages visited, referring source, approximate location, and the date and time of a visit.

We do not intentionally request or collect sensitive personal information through this website, such as payment-card details, government identification numbers, or health records.

3. How we use information

We may use the information described above to:

• Send emails, updates, waitlist notices, event information, and news about Sacred Flame Stories projects, when you have chosen to receive them.

4. Service providers, platforms, and links

We use or may use third-party services to host this website, manage our domain and email communications, distribute music, share audio content, and understand website activity. These services may process information as needed to provide their services to us and under their own privacy policies.

Our current or planned service providers and platforms may include:

• Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for email subscriptions, email delivery, and audience management.
• Netlify for website hosting, deployment, and related site operations.
• IONOS for domain, website, or email-related services.
• Google services that may support website operations, email, analytics, or embedded content, depending on the features we enable.
• DistroKid for music distribution to streaming and download platforms.
• Music and podcast platforms or stores we link to or use, which may include Spotify, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, YouTube, and other distribution partners selected by DistroKid or used by Sacred Flame Stories.

When you click a link to another site, purchase from a retailer, listen through a streaming service, or use an embedded third-party player, that third party may collect information under its own terms and privacy policy. Sacred Flame Stories does not control those independent privacy practices.

5. Cookies and analytics

Our hosting provider, analytics providers, and third-party embeds may use cookies, log files, pixels, or similar technologies to operate services, remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent fraud, and understand general site use.

You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect certain site features or third-party embeds. We do not use personal information to sell targeted advertising.
