A. Comments When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

B. Media If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

C. Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
  • Login: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

D. Embedded Content from Other Websites Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites (such as YouTube or Pinterest) may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

4. How We Monetize & Share Data

A. Amazon Affiliate Disclosure Belton Christian Community is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

  • Note: Amazon tracks referred sales via cookies which last for 24 hours.

B. Display Ads We may use third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies, as noted above, to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.

We only send emails to users who have explicitly opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
