Word Into Walk

The house

Privacy Policy

We will not sell your name. We collect what we need to run this house, take a sitting, send The Walk, and — if you ask us — text you. This page says how.

Effective September 22, 2026. Last updated September 22, 2026.

1. Who we are

Word Into Walk is operated by Roger Mace, 192 Paisley Reece Ln, Lenoir City, TN 37771. Privacy questions: rogermace@wordintowalk.com. Phone: (813) 569-9815. This is not a 501(c)(3) organization.

This policy covers www.wordintowalk.com and related pages, membership, The Walk (our letter), paid sittings, the affiliate store on this site, and any email or text program we run for this house.

2. What we collect

We collect:

  • What you give us — name (as it should appear on a certificate), email, password, optional mobile number, messages you send to contact addresses, and newsletter sign-up.
  • Payment facts — that a sitting was paid, the amount, and a Stripe payment or session id. Card numbers go to Stripe, not into our lesson database.
  • Use of the site — pages requested, browser type, approximate location from IP, and standard server logs we need to keep the site up and deal with abuse.
  • On your device — quiz progress and notes for a sitting may be stored in your browser so you can continue. That copy lives on your machine unless you clear it.

We do not ask for your Social Security number, and we do not want your full card number in an email.

3. How we use it

We use information to:

  • open and keep your membership, library, and certificate name;
  • process Institute payments and confirm a sitting is paid;
  • send The Walk and notice when a new article or video is posted, if you asked;
  • answer you when you write;
  • protect the site, prevent fraud, and keep records the law requires;
  • improve the house — for example, seeing which sittings are used.

We do not sell your name, email, or mobile number. We do not share it with a list broker. We do not use it to build a denomination roll.

4. Who else sees it

We share only what is needed, with:

  • Stripe, to take a card and send payouts;
  • the host that serves this website;
  • our email or letter tools, to send The Walk if you joined;
  • a text vendor, only if you have consented to SMS (see below);
  • Amazon, only if you click an affiliate link — their privacy policy then applies to that visit;
  • the law, if we are required to answer a lawful demand;
  • a person who helps us run the house, bound to keep it as we keep it.

5. Text messages (SMS and MMS)

We may offer optional texts later. We will collect a mobile number only if you give it, and we will send marketing or promotional texts only with your prior express written consent (for example a checked box that states you agree to recurring automated texts).

If you opt in. You may receive recurring automated SMS or MMS from Word Into Walk, including: notice that a new article or video is posted; The Walk in short form; reminders about a sitting you obtained; replies to HELP or STOP; and service messages about your membership or a payment. Frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Opting out. Reply STOP to end marketing texts. You may also write rogermace@wordintowalk.com or call (813) 569-9815 and ask to be removed. After STOP we may send one confirmation. Reply HELP for help. We will keep your number on a suppression list so we do not text you again for marketing unless you opt in later.

Consent to marketing texts is not required to buy a sitting or to use free articles, videos, or free sittings. We do not sell mobile numbers. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. If you change numbers, tell us. Do not opt in a number you do not control.

6. Cookies and similar tools

We use cookies and similar storage that are needed to sign you in, keep a session, and remember a sitting you paid for. Your browser may also hold quiz progress. You can block cookies; the site may then be unable to keep you signed in. We do not use a third-party advertising network to follow you across the web for ads.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe we have, write us and we will delete it. Paid sittings are for adults 18 and older.

8. How long we keep it

Membership, purchase records, and letter addresses are kept while the account or list is active and for a reasonable time after, including as long as tax, accounting, or dispute records require. You may ask us to close a membership and remove you from The Walk. We may retain what the law requires, and a note that you asked to be forgotten from marketing.

9. Security

Passwords are stored hashed by our sign-in system, not in plain text. Payments go through Stripe. No method of transmission is perfectly secure. Use a strong password unique to this house.

10. Your choices

You may sign in to update your name or email through the account tools we provide, or write rogermace@wordintowalk.com to correct a record, close a membership, or leave The Walk. If the law of your state (including California or similar) gives you a right to know, delete, or opt out of a sale — we do not sell — write us and we will honor what that law requires of this house.

11. Changes

If we change this policy in a material way, we will update the date at the top and, when we can, notice members by email or on the site. The Terms of Use govern use of the site.
