This policy explains what The Already There Project collects through thealreadythereproject.org and how we use it. If you have questions, email us at [email protected].
What we collect
When you request to join the Community: your name, username, and email address, and your confirmation that you are 18 or older. When your request is approved, you set a password, which is stored in a protected form.
When you use the Community: what you choose to share, such as your profile details and picture, posts, prayer requests, testimonies, memorials, comments, photos, group activity, messages, and the city you pick for the Testimony Map.
When you use the contact form: your name, email address, subject, and message.
When you visit any page: basic technical details such as your internet address, browser type, and the pages you view. These are used to keep the site running, keep it secure, and count visits.
How we use it
We use your information to review join requests, run the Community, answer messages, send account emails such as password resets, and protect the site and its members. We do not sell your personal information.
What other people can see
If you share a testimony or prayer as public, anyone on the internet can read it, and search engines may list it. A public testimony appears right away, without review. On the map, it shows your display name, unless you post anonymously, and your city. We never show a street address.
Content shared with the Community is seen by approved members. Private messages are not meant for other members, but they are stored on our website and are not encrypted end to end. The ministry team may review content when something is reported or when needed to keep people safe.
Please think carefully before sharing details about someone else, and do not post anything you would not want others to see.
Services we rely on
Cloudflare delivers and protects the site and gives us simple visit statistics.
YouTube plays the videos on the Watch Live page (or Vimeo, if we stream there), and Google Fonts supplies some of the lettering on that page. OpenStreetMap supplies the map on the Testimony Map page. Gravatar may be used to look up a member’s profile picture from a coded version of their email address. These services receive your internet address when your browser loads their content, and they follow their own privacy policies.
Brevo delivers the site’s email, including account emails and contact form messages, so it handles the names, addresses, and words in those emails. Links to Facebook take you to Facebook, and any gift or subscription you make there is handled by Facebook. We do not collect payment details on this site.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep you signed in and to protect the join and sign-in forms. They expire when you sign out or after a limited time. Your browser may also keep small choices and unfinished drafts on your own device during your visit. Videos and other outside services may set their own cookies.
Your choices
You can edit or remove what you have shared in the Community. To ask us to show you, correct, or delete your information or close your account, email [email protected]. We keep information only as long as we need it to run the ministry’s website or meet legal duties.
Adults only
The Community is for adults 18 and older, and everyone who requests to join must confirm their age. This site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has joined or given us information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page. Last updated November 1, 2026.
