Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Sons of YHWH website at sonsofyhwh.com and the Sons of YHWH app (together, “Sons of YHWH,” “we,” “us”). We collect as little as we can, we use it only to serve you, and we never sell your personal information.

What we collect

News & updates

If you subscribe on our website, we collect your name and email address so we can send you news and updates about Sons of YHWH.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you choose to write, so we can reply.

Website analytics and hosting logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request. We use this only in aggregate to keep the site secure, reliable and fast. We do not use advertising trackers.

Your app account

To create an account in the app we collect your name, email address and sign-in details, along with the preferences you choose (such as reminder times and growth focus) and your progress, such as completed devotionals and Daily Walk streaks.

Journal entries

Your journal is personal. Our intent is that journal entries are end-to-end encrypted: they are encrypted on your device before they are stored, so they can be read only with your keys and not by us. Where a feature cannot yet be end-to-end encrypted, we will say so clearly in the app before you use it.

Giving

When online giving is available, gifts will be handled by a third-party payment processor. Your card or Apple Pay details go directly to that processor; we do not see or store your full card number. We receive a record of the gift, such as the amount, date, frequency and your name and email for a receipt.

How we use your information

To provide the app and its features, including your account, devotionals, Daily Walk and journal.
To send news and updates you asked for, and service messages about your account.
To answer your questions and requests.
To process gifts and send receipts.
To keep Sons of YHWH secure, prevent abuse and improve how it works.
To meet legal obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

We share information only with service providers who help us run Sons of YHWH, and only as needed for them to do that work:

Netlify, which hosts our website and receives the website’s standard request logs and form submissions.
Our email and newsletter provider, which stores subscriber names and email addresses and sends our updates.
Our payment processor, which handles gifts once online giving opens.
Infrastructure providers that store app data on our behalf, under their own security and privacy commitments.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety and rights of our users and others.

Your choices and rights

Unsubscribe from news and updates at any time with the link in any email, or by writing to us.
Access, correct or delete your information by emailing hello@sonsofyhwh.com. You can also delete your app account, which deletes the data associated with it, apart from records we must keep by law (such as gift receipts).

We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect what you entrust to us.

Children’s privacy

Sons of YHWH is intended for men and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date above, and for significant changes we will let you know through the app or by email.
