Praise the LORD! Thy Ahava is a Christian faith-based website where we share articles and devotionals to help people grow spiritually. We believe in honesty, respect, and treating people with dignity Like our LORD JESUS does — and that includes how we handle your information.
This policy explains simply and clearly what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. No legal jargon, just plain truth.
“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” — Luke 6:31. That’s how we think about your privacy too.“
What information do we collect?
When you sign up for our newsletter, we ask for your name and email address. That’s genuinely all we need.
We don’t ask for your phone number, your location, your date of birth, or anything else. We only collect what is truly necessary to serve you well.
Why do we collect it?
Simple — so we can send you our latest articles and spiritual encouragement directly to your inbox. That’s the only reason.
We will never use your email to sell you something, spam you with promotions, or share it with other companies. Every email we send will be about faith, growth, and encouragement.
Do we share your information?
No. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third party — period.
The only exception is our email newsletter platform (the tool we use to send emails), which stores your name and email to make delivery possible. They are also required to keep your information private and secure.
How do we keep your information safe?
We use trusted and secure platforms to store and manage your information. While no online system can be 100% perfect, we take reasonable steps to protect what you share with us.
We regularly review our practices to make sure your data is handled responsibly and with care.
Cookies
Our website uses basic cookies to help it function properly and to power Google Analytics (as mentioned above). Cookies are small text files stored in your browser — they help the site remember things like your preferences.
We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or to build a profile about you.
Here’s what cookies actually do for you on Thy Ahava:
- The site loads faster. Cookies help your browser remember parts of the site so it doesn’t have to reload everything from scratch every time you visit. Less waiting, more reading.
- Your preferences are remembered. If you’ve made any display or language choices on the site, cookies help us remember them so you don’t have to set them again every single visit.
- You get a smoother experience overall. Cookies let different parts of the website talk to each other properly — like keeping you logged in or making sure forms work correctly.
We do not use cookies to spy on you, build a profile about you, or track you across other websites. That’s not who we are.
If you ever want to clear or disable cookies, you can do so in your browser settings at any time. Just know that some parts of the site may not work as smoothly if you do.
Google Analytics — how it helps us serve you better
We use a free tool called Google Analytics to understand how people use our website. We want to be upfront about it — and also explain why it actually benefits you as a reader.
Think of it this way: imagine you baked spiritual food for a community but had no idea which dishes people loved, which ones went untouched, or what time people usually came to eat. Google Analytics gives us that kind of insight — anonymously, without knowing who you personally are.
Here’s how Google Analytics helps you:
- We write more of what you love. When we see that a particular devotional or article gets a lot of readers, we know to write more content like it. Your reading habits quietly shape what we create next.
- We fix what’s broken faster. If analytics shows us that people are leaving a page quickly or a section isn’t being visited, we investigate and improve it. This means a better, smoother site for everyone.
- We reach more people who need encouragement. Understanding how visitors find us helps us make sure people searching for spiritual growth can actually discover Lee Hyun and be blessed by it.
The data Google Analytics collects is completely anonymous — it does not tell us your name, your email, or anything personal about you. It’s more like counting footprints than reading diaries.
Trademark — our name & identity
