Gospel Music Buzz (“GMB,” “we,” “us”) runs gospelmusicbuzz.com. This page explains what information we collect when you visit, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
- Contact forms. When you reach out through our Contact or Advertise pages, we collect your name, email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply to you.
- Comments. When you comment on a post, we collect your name, email address, website (if you add one), the comment itself, and your IP address. Your name and comment are shown publicly. Your email is never published.
- Email subscriptions. If you subscribe to get new posts by email, we collect your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
- Past purchases. We previously sold merchandise. If you bought from us, we keep the order record as required for tax and accounting purposes.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect basic information about how people use the site. This includes pages visited, time on page, referring website, approximate location (city or region), browser and device type, and IP address. We use this to understand what our readers care about and to show partners and advertisers general audience figures. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your comment details, keep the site secure, and measure traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, like remembering your comment details, may not work without them.
Third-party services we use
- Google Analytics (through MonsterInsights) to measure site traffic. Learn more at policies.google.com/privacy.

- Akismet by Automattic to filter spam comments. Your comment and related data may be checked by this service.
- Wordfence to protect the site from attacks. It may log IP addresses of visitors.
