Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how PushMedia, LLC collects, uses, and handles information in connection with The Joint Sermons Podcast website at thejointsermons.com. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
What We Collect
We do not collect your name, email, or any personal information unless you contact us directly. When you visit the Site, the following data is collected automatically by our analytics service:
- Anonymized IP address
- Browser type, device, and operating system
- Pages visited and time on page
- Referring URL and geographic region (country/city level)
We do not collect financial data, precise location, or any sensitive personal information.
Google Analytics (GA4)
The Site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors discover and use the Site. GA4 anonymizes IP addresses before storage — we cannot identify you personally from this data. Google processes this data under its own Privacy Policy. To opt out, use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
RSS Feed & Podcast Platforms
The Site hosts an RSS feed proxy (feed.php) that fetches and caches the podcast feed server-side. Standard server log data (IP address, timestamp, user-agent) may be captured for operational purposes only and is not retained long-term. Listening on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or other third-party platforms is governed by their own privacy policies.
Cookies
The Site sets only Google Analytics cookies. No proprietary first-party cookies are set. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use the Site.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to understand listener discovery patterns, improve the Site, maintain security, and respond to direct inquiries. We do not use your data for targeted advertising, automated profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond operating the Site.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We share data only with Google (Analytics) as a service provider, or when required by law. In the event of a business transfer involving PushMedia, LLC, data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold. Residents of California (CCPA) and the EEA/UK (GDPR) may have additional rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
External Links
The Site links to third-party platforms. Once you leave the Site, this policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
Security
The Site is served over HTTPS. While we implement reasonable security measures, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in an updated effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
