Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 1, 2026

At Modern Grace, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our course platform.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, purchase a course, or contact us for support. This includes:

  • Account Information: Your name, email address, and password
  • Payment Information: Billing address and payment method details (processed securely through Stripe)
  • Course Progress: Your progress through course modules, quiz responses, and journal entries
  • Communications: Any messages you send to us through our contact form or email

We also automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This helps us improve our service and ensure security.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our course platform
  • Process your purchases and send transaction confirmations
  • Track your course progress and save your work
  • Send you important updates about your account or the course
  • Respond to your questions and provide customer support
  • Protect against fraud and unauthorized access
  • Analyze usage patterns to improve our content and user experience

We will never sell your personal information to third parties or use it for purposes unrelated to providing our services.

3. Information Sharing

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party services (such as Stripe for payment processing and cloud hosting providers) who need access to certain information to perform services on our behalf
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests
  • Business Transfers: If Modern Grace is involved in a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
  • With Your Consent: We may share information when you give us explicit permission to do so

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS
  • Secure storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Limited access to personal data by authorized personnel only

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our platform. These include:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly (e.g., keeping you logged in)
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it
  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our platform.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Request that we correct any inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information (subject to certain legal exceptions)
  • Portability: Request your data in a portable format
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

7. Children's Privacy

Modern Grace is a parent-led course designed for parents to guide their daughters (ages 9-12). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. All accounts must be created by a parent or legal guardian.

Course progress, journal entries, and quiz responses associated with a child's participation are stored under the parent's account. Parents have full control over this information and can request its deletion at any time.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. Course access is provided for 180 days from the date of purchase. After your access period ends, you may still log in to view your account information, but course content will no longer be accessible.

We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, such as resolving disputes or enforcing our agreements.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
