Please note: this is a plain-language starter policy, not legal advice. If Forever Blessed grows, or stories are used in a book, we'll have it reviewed by a lawyer.
Who we are
Forever Blessed is a Christian prayer and encouragement page on Facebook and Instagram, with this small website. You can reach us anytime at weareforeverblessed77@gmail.com.
What we collect
We collect only what you choose to share with us:
- Story form: your story, your email, and, if you give them, your first name or nickname, your country, the topic, and your answers to the optional questions and checkboxes.
- Prayer form: your prayer request and, if you give them, your first name and email.
- The Sunday Blessing (newsletter): your email and, if you give it, your first name, plus a record that you agreed to receive it.
- Emails you send us, including messages sent through your own email app when our forms open it for you.
We don't ask for last names, phone numbers, photos, exact addresses, or anyone else's details. Please don't include them.
How we use it
- To read and pray over your story or request.
- To reply to you, thank you, or ask a follow-up question if you allowed it.
- With your written permission (the story release), to adapt your story anonymously into reels, letters, and posts. We change names, places, ages, and other identifying details first.
- With your Prayer Wall permission, to share your request without your name.
- If you opted in, to send you The Sunday Blessing. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
We never sell your information, and we never use it for advertising.
Where it's stored
Depending on how you reach us, your information is held by the services we use to run Forever Blessed:
- Our email inbox (currently Gmail, by Google).
- Our form provider, if a form is connected to one (for example Tally, Formspree, or Web3Forms). We'll name the provider here once it's set up.
- Our newsletter provider (for example Kit, MailerLite, or Systeme.io). We'll name the provider here once it's set up.
- A private working file that only the Forever Blessed team can see.
Some of these services may store data outside your country, including in the United States or the European Union.
How long we keep it
We delete raw story submissions and prayer requests we don't use after 12 months. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe; after that we keep only a note of your email so we never add you back by mistake.
This website
This site doesn't use advertising, tracking pixels, or cookies of our own. It loads fonts from Google Fonts, so Google receives your device's IP address when a page opens. Our web host may keep basic technical logs (like IP address and browser type) for security.
Age
Stories and prayer requests are for adults 18 and older. If we learn a story came from someone under 18, we won't use it, and we'll delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to see, correct, or delete your information, or to stop using your story, anytime at weareforeverblessed77@gmail.com. If you ask us to stop using your story, we'll stop making new content from it and remove posts we control where reasonably possible, though copies other people have already shared may remain. Depending on where you live (for example the UK, the EU, or California), you may have extra rights under local privacy laws, and you can complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
