Effective Date: 12/01/2025
Inspired Fellowship respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard information when you access our website, community spaces, courses, assessments, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
This policy integrates both our community practices and the standard WordPress functionality used on this site so that your information is described once, clearly, and in one place.
By using the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Our website address is: https://inspiredfellowship.com.

If you leave comments, we also collect the data shown in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you have a profile image associated with your email address. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
We do not collect sensitive personal data such as government-issued identification numbers or financial account numbers directly.

- Comments posted in public-facing areas of the site may be visible publicly once approved

Please remember that no online platform can guarantee absolute confidentiality.
6. Cookies & Login Information
We use cookies and similar technologies to support essential site functionality, including:

Specifically:

7. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles or content on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking if you are logged in to those platforms.
