Star for the Journey is a personal blog written and maintained by Kimberly George. This site exists to encourage, uplift, and share reflections of faith. I value the trust of every reader who visits here and am committed to protecting your privacy. The following explains how information may be collected and used through this site, which is hosted by WordPress.

Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, in comments), please avoid uploading photos that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images that appear on the site..
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This allows WordPress to remember your information so you won’t have to re-enter it on future visits. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. Login and display preference cookies last from two days to a year, depending on your settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other site directly. Those sites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with that content if you have an account and are logged in to them.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. No other data is shared or sold to third parties.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows WordPress to automatically recognize and approve future comments instead of holding them for moderation.
Registered users (if any) can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments or created an account, you may request an exported file of your personal data or ask that it be erased. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Our heart for your privacy
This blog is a quiet space for reflection, not a marketplace. I do not collect personal data for marketing or profit. Any information gathered through comments or cookies is managed securely through WordPress. Thank you for visiting Star for the Journey—may your time here always lift your heart toward the Light that guides us home.
