Messages and prayer requests
The contact form is not enabled in this version. It does not transmit or store a name, email address, message, or prayer request. No mailing-list sign-up is active.
Prayer requests are private by default. We do not publish them, create a public prayer wall, or reuse them as testimonials without explicit permission. Please do not include medical details, financial information, identification numbers, or other sensitive personal information.
Donations
The Donate page includes an embedded Donorbox form for our SpiritualHelpForDeaf campaign, as well as a link to the public Donorbox page. Loading that page requests the form and related resources from Donorbox and its service providers. Information you submit in that form is handled by Donorbox and the payment providers used for your gift. Review the giving frequency and any fees before confirming a payment. Read Donorbox’s privacy policy. We do not store payment-card details in this website’s files or contact form. Donor names are not published without permission.
Images and third-party links
This website includes original illustrations. Where an internet connection is available, enhanced artwork may load from Higgsfield media hosted on CloudFront. Loading that artwork makes a request to the media host. Local illustrations remain available when it cannot load.
YouTube video thumbnails may load from Google’s image servers when the page opens. Embedded video players load only after you select Watch in ASL. These players use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed address; playing or loading third-party content can still share technical request data with the provider. Videos do not autoplay. Direct links are provided for viewing on the original platform, including when embeds are unavailable in the local preview. External websites and resource providers have their own privacy practices. No third-party prayer video is presented as our organization’s production or an affiliation.
Cookies, analytics, and technical data
Our own website code does not add advertising trackers, analytics, visitor accounts, newsletter sign-up, or tracking cookies. Video and resource filters stay within the current page session. Third-party embeds, including Donorbox, may use cookies, local storage, and technical data for their services. Their practices are described in their own privacy policies.
This website is hosted on Netlify. Hosting, media, donation, and payment providers may process technical request data, such as connection information, to deliver their services.
Questions or changes
Our public contact address is still being set up. It will be listed on the Contact & Get Involved page when available. This page must be reviewed when the actual hosting, message delivery, payment services, analytics, or embeds change.
