Privacy Policy

Be Her Spurs (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a faith and encouragement website written by Amy Macrina and published at beherspurs.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment, or create an account — and how we use and protect it.

By using the site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Information you give us

• Newsletter: when you subscribe, we collect your email address.
• Comments: when you leave a comment, we collect the name you provide, your comment, and — if you submit it — your email address (your email is never published).
• Accounts: if you create an account, we collect your email address and a password (stored encrypted by our authentication provider). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google.
• Reactions: if you’re signed in and react to an article (e.g. a heart), we record that reaction associated with your account.

Information collected automatically

• Essential cookies: when you sign in, we store a secure session cookie so you stay logged in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• Basic technical data: our hosting and infrastructure providers may log standard information such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, for security and reliability.

How We Use Your Information

• To send the newsletter and respond to you.
• To display approved comments and let you react to articles.
• To create and secure your account and keep you signed in.
• To moderate content and protect the site from spam and abuse.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the site.

We do not sell your personal information.

How Your Information Is Shared

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the site, and only as needed to provide it:

• Supabase — account authentication and database (comments, subscribers, reactions).
• Resend — sending newsletter and notification emails.
• Vercel — website hosting and delivery.
• Google — only if you choose to sign in with Google.

These providers process your information on our behalf under their own privacy and security terms. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your subscription or account is active, or as needed to provide the site. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see “Your Choices”).

• Update your account details when signed in.

To make any of these requests, email us at beherspurs@gmail.com.

Children’s Privacy

The site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. 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 remove it.

Changes 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 may be communicated through the site or by email.
