Privacy policy

Summary

Lives of the Saints collects only the information we need to fulfill your orders, send the emails you’ve asked for, and keep the site working. We do not sell personal information. We use well-known service providers — Stripe, EasyPost, Resend, Google, Vercel, and Neon — and we share the minimum required data with each.

Who we are

This policy applies to livesofthesaintscalendar.com and the Lives of the Saints calendar application (“the Site”). References to “we”, “us”, or “our” mean the operator of the Site. Contact us at orthodoxcalendarcompany@gmail.com.

Information we collect

• Account data. When you create an account we store your name, email address, and — if you sign in with Google — your Google account identifier. We do not receive your Google password.
• Order data.To fulfill orders we collect your shipping address, billing address, and contact email. Payment card details are entered directly into Stripe’s Payment Element; we never see or store your card number.
• Communications. If you email us or subscribe to the newsletter, we keep your messages and subscription status so we can respond and so you can unsubscribe.
• Usage data. We use Vercel Analytics to count page views and measure site performance. It is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not set cross-site tracking cookies.

How we use information

• Process payments, ship orders, and provide customer support.
• Send order receipts, shipping notifications, and account emails.
• Send newsletter emails only to addresses that have opted in.
• Understand how the site is used and fix problems.
• Comply with legal obligations, including tax collection and fraud prevention.

Service providers we share with

• Stripe — payment processing and tax calculation.
• EasyPost — shipping label generation and tracking.
• Resend — transactional and newsletter email delivery.
• Google — optional sign-in via Google OAuth.
• Neon — Postgres database hosting for accounts and orders.
• Vercel — site hosting, analytics, and file storage (Vercel Blob).

We share only what each provider needs to do its job, under their data processing agreements. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies for sign-in sessions and shopping cart state, plus a small number of first-party analytics cookies set by Vercel Analytics. We do not run third-party advertising cookies.
