Privacy Policy

Information You Choose to Provide

We may receive personal information when you voluntarily use forms or services available through this website.

Contact Us

When you use the Contact Us form, you may provide:

• First name
• Optional last name
• Email address
• Optional phone number
• The message or information you choose to submit

Contact submissions are validated by the Kingdom Harvester website and delivered by email to a designated ministry mailbox.

The website does not save Contact Us submissions in a separate application database or submission file. However, delivered messages may remain in the recipient mailbox or related mail-system records according to the practices of those systems.

We use Contact Us information to receive your inquiry, respond when appropriate, and address legitimate ministry or website-related matters.

Prayer Requests

When you submit a prayer request, you may provide:

• Your name, if you choose to provide it
• Your email address
• The prayer request you choose to submit
• Whether you would like a response
• Whether you give permission for the request to be shared with a trusted prayer team

An email address is required only when you request a response.

Prayer requests are delivered by email to a designated Kingdom Harvester recipient. The website records your choice regarding prayer-team sharing and clearly identifies the request according to that choice.

The website does not automatically distribute prayer requests to a prayer-team mailing list. If you give permission for your request to be shared, any later sharing with the trusted prayer team is a ministry process carried out by people rather than automatic distribution by the website.

If you do not give permission to share the request, it is treated as private to the designated Kingdom Harvester recipient.

Prayer requests are not stored in a separate Kingdom Harvester application database or submission file. Delivered messages may, however, remain in the recipient mailbox or related mail-system records.

Prayer requests may contain personal or sensitive information. Please use discretion when submitting information about yourself or another person, and avoid including unnecessary confidential, medical, financial, or other highly sensitive details.

Stay Connected and Email Updates

Kingdom Harvester uses MailerLite to provide the Stay Connected email signup and to send ministry updates.

MailerLite JavaScript is loaded on the Kingdom Harvester website and MailerLite renders and processes the signup form directly. Information entered into that form is therefore processed by MailerLite rather than being received or stored in the Kingdom Harvester website application.

This may include your email address and any optional information you choose to provide through the signup form.

MailerLite may also process technical, delivery, and engagement information associated with its email services according to its own privacy and data-processing practices.

You may unsubscribe from Kingdom Harvester email updates at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

Website Analytics

Kingdom Harvester uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand general website usage and real-world website performance.

The analytics service is provided through Cloudflare rather than being hard-coded into the Kingdom Harvester website application.

Cloudflare states that its Web Analytics service is designed without traditional cross-site tracking and does not use cookies or local storage for its Web Analytics measurements.

We use this information to better understand how the website is being used and to improve its accessibility, reliability, usefulness, and performance.

Technical and Security Information

The Kingdom Harvester website uses limited technical information and security mechanisms necessary to operate and protect its forms and services.

These include:

• Temporary IP-based rate limiting to help prevent abuse and excessive form submissions
• CSRF protection to help prevent unauthorized form submissions
• A necessary first-party session mechanism used to support CSRF protection
• Honeypot fields designed to identify automated spam
• Input validation and field-length limits
• Security-related HTTP headers
• No-cache or no-store protections on prayer-related pages where appropriate
• Limited error information used to diagnose mail-delivery failures

Temporary rate-limit information is used for security and abuse prevention and is not a database of Contact Us or Prayer Request contents.

Kingdom Harvester does not use this security information to create advertising profiles or persistent visitor profiles.

Normal Internet infrastructure, hosting, security, email, and network services may also process technical information such as IP addresses, request paths, timestamps, browser information, and server logs as part of operating those services. Their handling and retention may be governed by the systems and service providers involved.

Cookies and Browser Storage

Kingdom Harvester does not use a visitor login system or advertising-tracking cookie system.

Protected website forms use a necessary first-party session mechanism to support CSRF security. This is used for form protection rather than advertising or behavioral tracking.

Third-party services used on the website, such as MailerLite, may use their own browser technologies according to their respective privacy practices.

Donations and External Giving Services

Kingdom Harvester does not directly process financial donations or store payment-card or banking information through this website.

When you follow a giving link, you may be directed to an external organization or third-party giving platform, such as Managed Missions, Living Stones-related giving services, or Zeffy.

Information you provide after leaving kingdomharvester.com is handled according to the privacy practices and terms of the organization or service receiving that information.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of those services before submitting financial or personal information.

Other External Websites

Kingdom Harvester contains links to ministry partners and other external websites.

Once you leave kingdomharvester.com, the privacy practices and terms of the external website apply. Kingdom Harvester is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.

How We Use Information

Information submitted or processed through Kingdom Harvester may be used to:

• Respond to messages or inquiries
• Receive and pray over prayer requests
• Provide requested ministry follow-up
• Share prayer requests with a trusted prayer team only when permission has been given
• Send ministry updates through MailerLite when you choose to subscribe
• Prevent spam, abuse, and excessive automated submissions
• Validate website and form security
• Diagnose website or email-delivery problems
• Maintain and improve the operation, security, accessibility, and performance of the website

Kingdom Harvester does not sell personal information submitted through the website.

Information Retention

Contact and Prayer Request contents are not stored in a separate Kingdom Harvester application database.

Because those submissions are delivered by email, they may remain in the recipient mailbox, mail-system records, or associated backups according to normal administrative and technical practices.

Temporary IP-based rate-limit information may be maintained for the limited period necessary to enforce website security controls.

Subscriber information is retained and processed through MailerLite according to the operation of that service and the status of your subscription.

Other technical records may be retained by hosting, network, security, or email service providers according to their respective systems and practices.

Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was submitted, provide appropriate ministry follow-up, maintain necessary administrative records, protect the website and its users, or meet applicable legal obligations.

Security

Reasonable safeguards are used to help protect information submitted through the website, including form validation, CSRF protection, rate limiting, spam controls, security headers, and restricted handling of prayer-request information.

However, no website, email system, Internet transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, please avoid sending highly sensitive information through general website forms unless it is necessary for the purpose of your communication.

Your Choices

Depending on how you use the website, you may choose to:

• Omit optional information from the Contact Us form
• Submit a prayer request without providing your name
• Decline permission for prayer-team sharing
• Decline a response and omit your email address from a prayer request
• Unsubscribe from Kingdom Harvester email updates
• Ask to correct or delete information you previously submitted, when reasonably possible

You may also contact us if you would like to ask what personal information you have submitted or have a question about how it is handled.

To make a privacy-related request, please use the Contact Us page on kingdomharvester.com.

Children

The Kingdom Harvester website provides general ministry information and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children without appropriate involvement of a parent or guardian.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information through the website may contact us through the Contact Us page.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the Kingdom Harvester website, ministry communications, security practices, or services change.

When material changes are made, the effective date at the top of this page will be updated.
