Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 1, 2025

PepLamb ("we," "us," or "our") operates peplamb.com and related services, including our Audio Bible web application (bible.peplamb.com), Daily Bread Video Creator (daily-bread-video-creator.peplamb.com), and mobile applications. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our services.

Content Ownership Declaration

All TikTok videos embedded on peplamb.com from @kiran.kalaskar are owned and created by Kiran Kalaskar, the owner of this website. We do not use any third-party TikTok content without permission. All embedded social media content represents original work created by the website owner or content used with explicit permission from creators.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We do not directly collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers for account creation purposes. However, certain features and third-party services we use may collect information as described in the following sections.

Analytics and Usage Data

We use Google Analytics 4 on peplamb.com and bible.peplamb.com to understand how visitors interact with our services. Additionally, we use Jetpack Stats, which Automattic Inc. processes for similar visitor statistics.

Google Analytics collects:

  • IP addresses (configuration may anonymize these)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information
  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • Referring websites
  • General geographic location (city/country level)

Technical Information

Our web servers and security systems automatically log standard technical information for security, fraud prevention, and operational purposes. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and access times. We retain this data only as long as necessary for these purposes (typically 30 days).

Comment Data

When you choose to post comments on peplamb.com, we collect:

  • Your name and email address (required for comment submission)
  • Your comment content and timestamp
  • Your IP address (for spam prevention)
  • Your Gravatar profile picture (if you have one associated with your email)

We moderate all comments before publication. Furthermore, we use Akismet (by Automattic Inc.) for spam protection, which processes your comment data, IP address, and user agent to determine if comments are spam.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember your consent preferences for embedded social media content. This data stays on your device only and never gets sent to our servers.

User-Generated Content

Our Daily Bread Video Creator tool allows you to upload images to create videos. We temporarily process these images on our servers to generate your video, which we then deliver to you via your chosen delivery method (such as Telegram). Immediately after delivery, we automatically delete all uploaded images and generated videos from our servers. We do not retain or access your content for any purpose other than video generation and delivery.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for several specific purposes:

Primary Uses:

  • Understanding how visitors use our services (analytics)
  • Maintaining website security and preventing abuse
  • Diagnosing technical problems
  • Improving our services

Additional Uses:

  • Processing and moderating comments
  • Detecting and preventing spam
  • Processing images temporarily to generate videos in the Daily Bread Video Creator (deleted immediately after delivery)

Importantly, we do not use this information for targeted advertising, and we never sell your data to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service that Google LLC provides. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about website usage. Google may use this data in accordance with their privacy policy.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Jetpack (Automattic)

We use Jetpack for site statistics, security, and performance features. Automattic Inc. provides Jetpack and processes visitor data on WordPress.com servers. Jetpack may collect IP addresses, browser information, and usage statistics.

Automattic Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/

Akismet Anti-Spam

We send comment data (including name, email, comment content, IP address, and user agent) to Akismet (by Automattic Inc.) for spam detection analysis. Akismet retains this data to improve spam filtering.

AddToAny Share Buttons

We use AddToAny for social sharing functionality. When you use these buttons, the platform may redirect you to third-party social media platforms that have their own privacy policies.

Audio Bible Content

Our Audio Bible services stream audio content that we host directly. Currently, we do not use any third-party audio providers.

Video Delivery Services

The Daily Bread Video Creator may deliver generated videos through third-party messaging services (such as Telegram) based on your selection. When you choose to receive your video via these services, the platform transmits the video directly according to their privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any delivery service you choose to use.

Telegram Privacy Policy: https://telegram.org/privacy

Social Media Embeds

When you choose to load embedded social media content (such as TikTok videos) on peplamb.com, these platforms load content directly and may set cookies and collect data according to their respective privacy policies:

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of data. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Material changes will appear with a new "Last Updated" date. For significant changes affecting your rights, we will provide prominent notice as required by law. Continued use of our services after changes indicates acceptance.

12. Do Not Sell My Personal Information

We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do share data with service providers (Google Analytics, Jetpack, Akismet, AddToAny) as described in this policy. However, these are service providers, not data buyers.

California residents: You have the right to opt-out of any future sales of personal information, though we do not currently engage in such sales.

13. Contact Us

For questions about this Privacy Policy or to exercise your privacy rights:

Email: [email protected]

For EU/UK users: This email serves as our contact point under GDPR Article 27. Although we do not have a formal EU representative as we are a small operation, we will respond to all privacy requests within the required timeframes.

For California residents: This contact information serves as our designated method for submitting privacy rights requests under CCPA.

14. Supervisory Authority

EU/UK users have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority if they believe we have not adequately addressed their privacy concerns.
