The Word For Me ("we," "us," or "our") operates thewordforme.com (the "Site") and delivers daily personalized Bible devotionals by email. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Site and subscribe to our devotionals.
By signing up, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not subscribe.
01Information We Collect
We keep collection deliberately minimal. To send you a devotional written for the way you're wired, we ask for three things and nothing more:
What you provide when you sign up
Information collected automatically
Like most websites and email services, we and our service providers may collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and general engagement data (for example, whether an email was opened or a link was clicked). This helps us keep the Site secure and improve delivery.
02How We Use Your Information
We use the information you share only for the purposes you'd expect:
- To create and deliver your daily personalized devotional.
- To select the version of each devotional that matches your personality type.
- To respond to your questions and provide support.
- To send occasional account or service messages related to your subscription.
- To maintain, secure, and improve the Site and our email delivery.
We do not use your personality type for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than tailoring the devotional you receive.
03How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only in these limited situations:
- Service providers. We use trusted third parties (such as email delivery and hosting providers) to operate the Site and send your devotionals. They may access your information only to perform these services on our behalf and are obligated to protect it.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users or others.
- Business transfers. If our project is transferred to another party, your information may be part of that transfer, subject to this Policy.
04Email Communications
When you subscribe, you'll receive your daily devotional along with any necessary service messages. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. Unsubscribing stops the devotionals; it does not delete records we're required to keep for legal or security reasons.
05Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your subscription is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to meet legal, security, and operational needs. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete or anonymize it.
06Your Choices & Rights
You are in control of the information you share with us. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
- Delete your information and end your subscription.
- Unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
To make any of these requests, contact us using the details below and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
07Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
08Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
09Third-Party Links
Our Site and devotionals may link to other sites, such as the personality assessment at 16personalities.com or our YouTube channel. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies.
10Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be communicated by email or a notice on the Site. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.

Questions about this Policy or the information we hold? We'd be glad to hear from you.
