Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

Walking With Jesus is designed to provide a peaceful Christian space for prayer, Scripture reflection, journaling, quiet time, and spiritual encouragement while collecting as little personal information as reasonably possible.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use Walking With Jesus, how certain features store information, and the third-party services currently used by the website.

Journal, Talk With Jesus, and Scripture Reflections

Journal entries, Talk With Jesus entries, and saved Scripture reflections are designed to be stored locally in your browser on your device using browser storage.

Walking With Jesus does not intentionally transmit the written content of these locally stored entries to our server or use Vercel Web Analytics to read or analyze the content you type into these private writing areas.

Because these entries are stored on your device, clearing browser data, using a different browser, using private or incognito mode, or moving to another device may cause your saved entries to become unavailable.

Anyone who has access to your device or browser may potentially be able to access information stored locally on that device. Please avoid entering information you do not want stored on your device.

Vercel Web Analytics

Walking With Jesus uses Vercel Web Analytics to help us understand general website usage and improve the experience for visitors.

Analytics information may include information such as page views, pages visited, referring websites, browser type, operating system, device information, and general geographic information such as country-level location.

Vercel describes its Web Analytics service as first-party and privacy-focused. It is designed to measure website activity without tracking visitors across unrelated websites.

Vercel Web Analytics is used to understand overall traffic and page activity. It is not used by Walking With Jesus to read the text of your Journal, Talk With Jesus, or Scripture Reflection entries.

Website Hosting and Technical Information

Walking With Jesus is hosted using Vercel. Like other website hosting providers, Vercel may process technical information necessary to deliver, secure, and operate the website.

This may include information such as IP address, request information, system configuration information, browser or device information, and location information derived from an IP address.

Vercel processes information according to its own privacy practices and policies.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Walking With Jesus does not currently use advertising cookies or third-party advertising trackers of its own.

Browser local storage is used for features such as saved Journal, Talk With Jesus, and Scripture Reflection entries. Local storage is different from a traditional browser cookie, but it also stores information on your device.

Third-party infrastructure providers may use technologies or process technical information as described in their own privacy policies and as necessary to provide their services.

Information You Send by Email

If you contact Walking With Jesus by email, we may receive the email address you use, your message, and any information you voluntarily include in that message.

Please do not send medical records, passwords, financial account information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive personal information by email.

How Information Is Used

Information available to Walking With Jesus may be used to operate and improve the website, understand general website traffic, identify technical problems, respond to messages, protect the website from misuse, and maintain the security and reliability of the service.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

Walking With Jesus does not sell personal information collected directly through the website and does not operate an advertising profile based on the content of your private journal or prayer entries.

Children's Privacy

Walking With Jesus is not specifically designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through email or another direct communication method, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed.

Third-Party Links

Walking With Jesus may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information to another website or service.

Data Security

Reasonable steps are taken to keep the website and its configuration secure. However, no website, browser storage system, internet transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as Walking With Jesus changes, including when new features, analytics services, or other technologies are added. When material changes are made, the effective date shown at the top of this page will be updated.
