๐ŸŒฟ Walking in the Light with You

At The Shepherd Way, our mission is rooted in truth, clarity, and liberation. This extends to how we handle your personal information. We only collect what is necessary, and we treat your data with the same care we would want for ourselves โ€” no hidden agendas, no deception.


โœจ Who We Are

Our website address is: https://theshepherdway.com
We are a global spiritual mission committed to awakening truth and guiding souls toward their divine liberation.


๐Ÿ’ฌ Comments and Communication

When you leave a comment, we collect the information you willingly provide, including your IP address and browser data, to help prevent spam and misuse.

If you use a service like Gravatar, your anonymized email hash may be sent to them. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy.
Your profile picture may be publicly shown alongside your comment, as a way to keep interactions human and personal.


๐Ÿ“ธ Uploading Media

If you upload images to this site, please remove any GPS or location data embedded in the file. Others could potentially download that image and access your location info. We donโ€™t do anything with this data โ€” but we urge you to protect yourself.


๐Ÿช Cookies: For Your Convenience, Not Surveillance

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name and email in a cookie โ€” a small file your browser remembers โ€” so itโ€™s easier to comment again later. These cookies last one year and are for your ease, not for tracking.

When you log in (if applicable), temporary cookies help us verify your access and customize your view. You can clear these at any time in your browser settings.


๐Ÿ“ก Embedded Content

Some pages may include embedded content from trusted platforms (like YouTube or articles from other sites). These sources might collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction โ€” especially if you’re logged into their platform.

We only embed content that supports our mission and message. But be aware that once you engage with it, youโ€™re also engaging with their ecosystem, not just ours.


๐Ÿ” Who Sees Your Data?

We do not sell, trade, or give away your personal data to any third party for commercial gain.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may appear in that email for security purposes.


๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ How Long We Keep What You Share

Your comments, along with related metadata, may be kept indefinitely โ€” so we can recognize your future contributions without unnecessary delay.

If you register an account on this site (if applicable), your profile information is stored securely and can be edited or deleted by you anytime (except for your username). Site administrators may also manage this data to ensure smooth site operations.


๐Ÿ“ฅ Your Rights โ€” Your Data

You have full rights over your data.

  • You can request a file of the personal data we hold about you.
  • You can ask us to delete anything weโ€™re not legally required to keep.

No need to explain โ€” just ask. We believe in consent, not control.


๐ŸŒ Where Your Data Goes

Some comments may be processed through an automated system to filter spam. Other than that, your data stays with us โ€” guarded, not exploited.


๐Ÿ™ Our Commitment

This spiritual journey demands honesty in all things โ€” even behind the scenes.
We donโ€™t hide tracking codes behind sacred messages.
We donโ€™t trade your trust for traffic.

If ever anything changes, weโ€™ll tell you clearly and simply. Because liberation starts with transparency.
