Information submitted through email, messaging services, payment platforms, or other third-party services may also be processed and stored by those providers under their respective policies.
While we take reasonable care when handling customer information, no electronic communication or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
6. Photograph Deletion and Data Retention
Photographs Used for Energy Readings
Photographs submitted specifically for energy readings are deleted from our working records once the reading is completed.
This applies to photographs within our control. Copies that remain in third-party messaging systems, email backups, or other external services may be subject to those providers' separate retention and deletion practices.

- Customer names and email addresses.
- Reading requests and correspondence.

We may review, correct, restrict, or delete information when required by law or when a valid request is received.
Payment Records
Payment information and transaction histories may be retained by payment providers, including PayPal, Stripe, Buy Me a Coffee, or other services used to process transactions.
These providers maintain their own retention practices and legal obligations.
We do not control the retention periods of independent payment providers.
Newsletter Records
Newsletter subscription information is maintained through Mailchimp until the subscriber unsubscribes, requests applicable deletion, or the information is otherwise removed under our retention practices and legal obligations.
Unsubscribing may not automatically erase all records maintained for compliance or suppression purposes.

Private Prayer Requests
Prayer requests submitted privately through our contact form or email are treated as private communications.
We will not intentionally publish private prayer requests or identifying details without appropriate permission, except where disclosure is required by law or necessary to address a serious safety concern.
Submitting a prayer request does not require the disclosure of a full legal name unless necessary for the particular communication.
