Marriage After God — Smith Family Resources, Inc.
Effective date: August 7, 2026 · Version: 3.1
The short version
We are a small family-run Christian marriage ministry and publisher. We collect the information we need to send you prayer emails and our podcast, fulfill your book orders, run our ministry, and tell other couples about our resources. We do not sell your personal information for money. We do use advertising and analytics tools that share limited information with companies like Meta, Google, and TikTok — under several state privacy laws that counts as "selling" or "sharing," and you can opt out at any time.

Sensitive information and religious belief
Marriage After God is an explicitly Christian ministry. If you subscribe to our prayer emails, buy our devotionals, join our Patron Team, or download our podcast, that fact may reveal or imply something about your religious beliefs. Under GDPR, religious belief is a "special category" of personal data. Under several U.S. state privacy laws — including Oregon's — it is "sensitive data." Some of our books also concern family, parenting, and marital intimacy, and your interest may imply information about your family situation.
How we handle it:
- We collect it only because you chose to engage with a Christian ministry. We do not ask you to state your religion and do not require it.
- We do not sell it, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not build or upload audiences labeled or segmented by religious belief, and we do not use religious inference to target advertising.
- We do not use it to make decisions about you producing legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not use it for profiling of that kind.
- We do not disclose it except to the service providers listed here who need it to deliver the email, ship the book, or process the payment you asked for.
- Where the law requires consent, your consent is your voluntary act of subscribing, purchasing, or enrolling — and you may withdraw it at any time.
- In the EU, UK, and Switzerland, we rely on explicit consent, or on the exemption for a not-for-profit body with a religious aim in respect of its members and regular contacts, as applicable.
If you would rather we not hold this information at all, unsubscribe and ask us to delete your record. We will honor that.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC). A GPC signal is treated as a request to opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising for that browser and device, and is applied to your account if you are logged in. There is still no common industry standard for "Do Not Track," so we do not respond to DNT separately. GPC is the signal we honor.

We do not disclose your personal information to unrelated third parties for their own independent marketing.
"Selling" and "sharing" your information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We never have.
However, several state privacy laws define "sale" broadly to include disclosure for other valuable consideration, and define "sharing"/"targeted advertising" to include disclosure for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we use advertising cookies and pixels from Meta, Google, TikTok, and Amazon, our use of those tools may qualify as a "sale" or "share" under those laws. We say so plainly rather than hiding behind the technicality.
What may be disclosed this way: online identifiers, cookie and device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, browsing and purchase activity on our sites, hashed email addresses used to match customer audiences.
What is never disclosed this way: your name and mailing address, payment information, message and prayer request content, and any information used to infer religious belief.
We do not sell or share the personal information of anyone we know to be under 16.
Email and mail
Email. Subscribing means consenting to recurring emails from Marriage After God and our related ministry brands — daily prayer emails, devotional content, podcast announcements, ministry updates, and promotional messages. Unsubscribe any time via the link in any email or by emailing support@marriageaftergod.com. Even after unsubscribing from marketing, we still send transactional messages — order confirmations, shipping notices, payment receipts, Patron billing notices, and material changes to our terms.
Postal mail. We may occasionally send catalogs, samples, or ministry mailings. Email us to opt out.

Your privacy rights
We extend the following rights to everyone who contacts us, regardless of where you live. Some laws described here may not legally apply to a business our size, but we honor these requests as a matter of practice.
Right to know and access · correct · delete · portability · opt out of targeted advertising, sale, sharing, and profiling · limit use of sensitive information · a list of specific third parties · withdraw consent · non-discrimination · appeal.
Limits. We may decline part of a request where the law allows or requires — for example where we must keep transaction records for tax and accounting, where deletion would interfere with an active order or legal claim, where we cannot verify identity, or where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. If we decline, we will tell you why.
How to submit a request

Include your full name, the email and any mailing address you have used with us, and what you are asking for. Do not send sensitive information such as full card numbers.
Verification. We verify identity before acting — usually by confirming you control the email address on the account, sometimes matching one or two additional details such as a recent order number. We will not create an account or collect extra information just to verify you.
Authorized agents. Permitted, with written proof of authorization signed by you; we may also ask you to verify directly.
Timing. Acknowledgment promptly, response within 45 days, extendable once by another 45 days with notice and reasons within the first 45.
Cost. Free, up to two requests per twelve months. We may charge a reasonable fee or decline excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded requests, with an explanation.
