Privacy policy.

The data controller

This Privacy Policy describes how Bibles & Coffee LLC ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you in connection with The Fruitful Post — our subscription service, website, members community, and any related communications. We are based in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and we operate under the laws of the United States.

For privacy questions or requests, write us at info@thefruitfulpost.com. A real human will read every email.

The information we collect

We try to collect only what we need. Here's the full list, what it's for, and how long we keep it:

We do not collect race, religion (beyond the obvious context of subscribing to a Christian community), sexual orientation, biometrics, precise location data, or anything else outside the categories above.

How we use your information

We use the information above to:

• Fulfill your subscription — print, address, and ship every envelope to your door.
• Charge your card on schedule and email receipts & renewal reminders.
• Run the private community — verify membership, display your posts, send activity notifications.
• Send infrequent service updates (a delay, a recall, a major site change). We send these to all active subscribers regardless of marketing preferences because they affect your subscription directly.
• Send our marketing emails — only if you've opted in, and you can unsubscribe with one click.
• Diagnose technical issues and improve the site.

We will never use your information to train AI models, run targeted advertising, or build behavioral profiles. That's not why we're here.

Who sees your information

We share your information only with service providers we need to run the subscription. Each one sees only what they need to do their specific job:

• Stripe — processes subscription payments. Receives your name, billing address, email, and card data (tokenized).
• Klaviyo — sends our transactional & marketing email. Receives your name, email, and subscription status.
• Skool — hosts our private community. Receives your name, email, and the content you post there.
• USPS & printing partners — receive your shipping address and the contents of the envelope to print and deliver it.
• Hosting & analytics — basic site infrastructure. Receives anonymized usage data only.

We do not sell your information to anyone. We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, or other publishers. The only other circumstance under which we'd disclose your information is if a valid court order legally required it — and even then, we'd notify you first if we were allowed to.

Cookies, pixels & tracking

We use a handful of essential cookies — for keeping you signed in, remembering your cart, and keeping the site working. You can't really opt out of these without breaking the site, but they don't track you across other websites.

We use a single privacy-respecting analytics tool (currently Plausible) that gives us aggregate page-view counts. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't track individuals, and doesn't share data with anyone else.

We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads pixels, TikTok pixels, or any other third-party retargeting / advertising tracker. If you block cookies entirely, the site still works — you just won't stay signed in across visits.

Retention

We keep your account data for as long as you have an active subscription, plus a reasonable period after you cancel so you can reactivate without re-entering everything. Specifically:

• Active subscribers: we keep everything for as long as you're with us.
• After you cancel: we keep your account info for 24 months. After that, it's deleted automatically unless you ask us to delete it sooner.
• Billing records: we retain receipts and invoices for 7 years to comply with tax law (this is required of us, not a preference).
• Community posts: stay visible to other members until you delete them; you can delete any post at any time.

Your rights & how to exercise them

You can ask us to:

• Access a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct anything that's wrong.
• Delete your account and personal information (we'll honor this except where law requires us to keep records — e.g. billing).
• Export your data in a machine-readable format.
• Opt out of marketing emails (every email has a one-click unsubscribe link).

To exercise any of these, email info@thefruitfulpost.com with the subject "Privacy request" and a brief description of what you'd like. We aim to respond within 7 days, and always within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity (usually just by replying from the email on your account) before making big changes like deletion.

If you're located in California, the EU, or the UK, you may have additional rights under your local laws (CCPA, GDPR, UK GDPR). All of those rights are available to every Fruitful Post subscriber regardless of location — we don't gatekeep based on jurisdiction.

Children, security & changes

Children. The Fruitful Post is intended for adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn we have, we'll delete it.

Security. We use industry-standard practices to keep your data safe — encrypted connections (HTTPS), encrypted storage, access controls so only the people who need data can see it. No system is bulletproof, but we take this seriously and would notify you promptly if a breach affected your data.

Changes to this Policy. If we update this Policy in any meaningful way, we'll email every active subscriber with a summary of what changed before the new version takes effect. We'll also update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
