Prophetic Finders ("we," "us," "our") is a Texas nonprofit ministry. We are committed to protecting your privacy and the privacy of the individuals and families who entrust us with sensitive information. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you create a member account, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed (encrypted) password. We do not store your card number โ€” payment is processed entirely by Stripe.

Case submissions: When you submit a missing person or lost item case, we collect the information you provide โ€” name of missing person, description, location details, and contact information. This information is treated as highly sensitive.

Contact form submissions: Name, email, subject, and message content.

Donation information: If you donate, Stripe collects your payment information. We may receive your name and email if you choose to provide them, and the donation amount.

Technical information: Standard server logs, including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited. We use this for security and diagnostics only.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate and manage your membership account
  • Process payments and send receipts
  • Provide access to member events, training sessions, and community resources
  • Review and act on case submissions in accordance with our protocols
  • Respond to contact form messages
  • Maintain security and prevent fraud
  • Comply with applicable law

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for advertising. We do not share your information with third parties except as described below.

3. Case Submission Confidentiality

Information submitted through our case intake form is treated with the highest level of confidentiality. It is shared only with authorized Prophetic Finders team members who have agreed to our confidentiality protocols. We may share relevant prophetic intelligence with law enforcement, but we do so carefully and only in ways that protect the integrity of any investigation and the safety of all parties.

Prophetic Finders is a mandatory reporter under Texas law for suspected child abuse or neglect (Tex. Fam. Code ยง 261.101). If case information discloses suspected abuse, we are required by law to report it to the appropriate authorities.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Stripe โ€” Payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy governs the handling of your payment information. We do not store card numbers on our servers.
  • Zoom โ€” Live training and meeting sessions. Zoom's privacy policy applies to all video calls.
  • Signal โ€” Community communication groups. Signal's end-to-end encryption protects messages in community channels.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical safeguards to protect your data: HTTPS encryption on all pages, hashed password storage (bcrypt), CSRF protection on all forms, session security, and rate limiting on login attempts. No data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

6. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to operate the ministry. Case submission records are retained for operational and legal purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at propheticfinders@gmail.com. Case records may be retained even if an account is deleted, as they may be relevant to ongoing matters.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and membership is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal and operational limitations)
  • Cancel your membership at any time through your account page or by contacting us

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at propheticfinders@gmail.com.
