Introduction
Voice of Elijah, Inc., a nonprofit religious organization (“we,” “us,” or “our”), is the data controller (responsible party) for your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and how we keep it safe. By using our website or services, you agree to this policy.
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you with a notice on our website along with a revised “last updated” Privacy Policy date.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect the information we need to fulfill your requests, deliver services, and improve your experience.
You may provide us with:
- Your name and email address (e.g., when signing up for emails or contacting us)
- Your shipping address (when requesting items or placing orders)
- Your telephone number (when placing orders)
- Contribution information (amount and frequency for recurring contributions)
We do not collect or store your payment information. That is handled securely by trusted third-party providers.
Sensitive Data
We do not intentionally collect or process special categories of personal data, such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, or biometric data. Any information inferred from interaction with religious content is not used for profiling or marketing purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to:
- Process contributions and fulfill your orders
- Communicate with you about your requests, subscriptions, or contributions
- Send requested emails and updates
- Improve our website and user experience
- Maintain legal and financial records as required by law
We do not sell your personal data.
We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
Unsubscribing From Emails
You can unsubscribe from our email communications at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email we send you, or by contacting us directly at [email protected].
3. Legal Bases for Processing Your Data
We collect and use personal data only when we have a lawful reason to do so, including:
- Consent (e.g., when you sign up for emails or interact with non-essential embedded media such as playing an embedded Vimeo video)
- Contract (to fulfill your orders or deliver services you request)
- Legal obligation (to meet tax, financial, or regulatory requirements)
- Legitimate interest (to improve services or prevent fraud, where your rights do not override our purpose)
4. How Orders and Payments Are Handled
We use third-party platforms to handle transactions:
- Ecwid collects your shipping information, which we use to fulfill orders (e.g., Bibles or printed materials)
- Stripe processes all payments securely. We do not see or store your credit card details. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified.
- Stamps.com provides shipping label and postage services. We share your name, shipping address, email address (for delivery notifications), and order details as necessary to create shipping labels and deliver your order.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies only to support essential website functionality and features you choose to use.
We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking.
Types of cookies we use:
- Essential cookies—Required for core site functionality (e.g., shopping carts, secure sessions, payment processing)
- Embedded Media technologies—Used by Vimeo to provide video playback and player functionality
Third-party services that may set cookies or receive data:
| Service | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Ecwid | Storefront and checkout functionality | Essential |
| Stripe | Secure payment handling and fraud detection | Essential |
| Vimeo | Embedded video playback and player functionality | Embedded Media |
| AddToAny | Social sharing buttons (e.g. Facebook, X, email) | Functional |
| Matomo Cloud | Aggregated website analytics (cookieless, IP-anonymized) | Essential |
Matomo Cloud is configured in cookieless and IP-anonymized mode. We do not track individuals and only analyze aggregated usage to improve site performance.
6. Cookie Consent and Preferences
We only use essential cookies required for core functionality, such as shopping cart operations (via Ecwid), secure payment processing (via Stripe), and session management.
Embedded Vimeo Videos
Our website includes embedded videos hosted by Vimeo, Inc. When a page containing a Vimeo embed is loaded, your browser connects directly to Vimeo’s servers. Vimeo may collect personal data such as your IP address, device and browser information, and interaction data (for example, when you press “Play”).
We configure Vimeo embeds to limit tracking features where possible; however, Vimeo processes data according to its own privacy policy. Vimeo acts as an independent data controller for information it collects through its player.
Social Sharing Buttons
If you use the AddToAny share buttons (such as Facebook, X, or email, etc.), your browser will connect to AddToAny and the selected platform. Those platforms may collect information according to their own privacy policies. We do not track or store personal data through these buttons.
How to manage cookies and embedded content:
- Avoid interacting with embedded Vimeo videos if you do not wish to share data with Vimeo.
- Do not use social sharing buttons if you do not wish to interact with third-party platforms.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Use tools such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), where supported.
For more information, please visit our Cookie Policy.
7. California Privacy (CCPA/CPRA)
We do not sell or share your personal information.
When a page containing an embedded Vimeo video is loaded or played, Vimeo may collect information such as IP address, device identifiers, and interaction data. This may be considered a “sharing” of personal information under California law. You may limit this by not interacting with embedded videos.
Notice at Collection
This Privacy Policy serves as our notice at collection by describing the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for collection, and retention practices.
