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 and Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to count page views, measure site performance, and understand the shopping journey in aggregate - for example which pages lead to a product view, add-to-cart, or completed order. We also record how you first reached the site (such as a search engine or referring link) so we can tell which content brings visitors. This is used in aggregate and is not sold or shared with advertisers.

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 and Google Analytics, and a first-party cookie that remembers how you first reached our site (such as a search engine or link) so we can understand which content brings visitors. We do not run third-party advertising cookies.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, email orthodoxcalendarcompany@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days. You can also unsubscribe from newsletter emails at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

Data retention

Order and tax records are retained for at least seven years to meet tax and accounting obligations. Account data is retained until you ask us to delete it. Newsletter subscription records are kept until you unsubscribe, plus a short period to honor the unsubscribe.

Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, please write to us and we will delete it.
