Privacy Policy.

Last updated November 10, 2026

This policy explains what Sermon Encore (“we,” “us”) collects when you use this website, why, and who else handles it. We’ve tried to keep it plain. If anything is unclear, use our contact page.

What we collect

• Your account. Your name, email address, username, and password (stored encrypted by WordPress).
• Your membership. Your plan, its dates, and your payment history. Card payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• What you put into Sermon Encore. Sermon manuscripts and outlines, your answers to the app’s questions, your profile (how you write, your rules, sample writing), the drafts it writes, your edits, and your saved sermons.
• Pictures you create. Pictures are saved to this website’s media library.
• Usage counts. How many sermons, rewrites, and picture remakes you’ve used this month, so your plan’s limits work.
• Messages you send us through the contact form.

How we use it

• To run Sermon Encore for you: write your drafts and pictures, save your work, and keep your profile.
• To manage your membership and billing.
• To answer messages you send us.
• To keep the service working and secure.

We don’t sell your information, show you ads, or share your sermons with anyone except the service providers below, and only so they can do their part.

Service providers who handle your information

• Anthropic (Claude) reads your sermon, profile, and answers to write your drafts. Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, content sent through its business service isn’t used to train its models.
• OpenAI receives picture descriptions (and, for the tall version of a picture, the wide picture) to create images. OpenAI says content sent through its business API isn’t used to train its models, and it may keep it for up to 30 days to monitor for abuse.
• Stripe processes your payments under its own privacy policy.
• Our web host stores this website and its data.

Cookies and your browser

This site uses the cookies WordPress needs to keep you logged in, and Stripe uses cookies during checkout to process payments and prevent fraud. Sermon Encore also keeps a copy of your work in progress and your text-size setting in your browser’s storage, so you don’t lose your place. We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies.

Who can see your work

Your sermons, drafts, and profile are tied to your account and are visible only to you and to the site’s administrators. Pictures are stored in the site’s media library, so anyone who has a picture’s exact web address could open it. Don’t include anything in a picture description you wouldn’t want seen.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and saved work while your account exists, so it’s there when you come back. If you’d like your account and your saved work deleted, ask through the contact page. Billing records may be kept as long as the law requires.

Your choices

• You can view and change your profile and saved work in Sermon Encore at any time.
• You can cancel your membership from your account page.
• You can ask for a copy of your information, or for it to be corrected or deleted.

Children

Sermon Encore is meant for adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top. Big changes will also be announced to members.
