Privacy Policy

 

Effective Date: May 6, 2026

Welcome to the Disciples Education Network (“DEN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are a ministry dedicated to providing free tools, such as the S.T.E.P.S. curriculum and DiscipleTrack, to help you grow spiritually.

Because our tools are highly personalized, we collect and store certain personal and behavioral data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with a personalized dashboard and track your spiritual growth, we collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: When you register for a free account, we collect your First Name, Last Name, Username, Email Address, and Password.
  • Spiritual & Activity Data: To power our core features, we collect and store the data you submit through our platform. This includes:
    • Responses and scores from your Discipleship S.T.E.P.S. Profiles, Spiritual Gifts Profile, and Ministry Styled Personality Profile.
    • Daily, weekly, and monthly habit logs (e.g., Bible study, prayer, fasting, stewardship).
    • Your calculated streaks, milestones, and earned awards.
  • Automatically Collected Data: Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to ensure our site functions properly (such as keeping you logged in) and to understand how visitors interact with our site.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect strictly to provide and improve our ministry services to you. Specifically, we use your data to:

  • Create and secure your user account.
  • Populate your personalized Member Page and DiscipleTrack dashboard.
  • Calculate your spiritual growth metrics, habit streaks, and generate “Next Steps” recommendations.
  • Award digital achievements based on your activity.
  • Send you important account-related emails (such as password resets).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or spiritual data to any third parties.

3. How We Share Your Information

Because we respect the deeply personal nature of your spiritual data, we share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party services to operate our website (e.g., website hosting, database management, and email delivery). These providers only have access to the data necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to keep it confidential.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal processes or protect the rights and safety of DEN and its users.

4. Data Security

We implement standard security measures to protect your personal information, including using secure hashing for passwords and encryption (SSL) for data transmission. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Your Data Rights and Choices

You maintain control over your data. You have the right to:

  • Access and Update: You can review and update your name, email, and password at any time by visiting your Member Account page on our website.
  • Delete Your Data: If you wish to leave the Disciples Education Network, you may request the permanent deletion of your account and all associated habit logs, profiles, and streak data. To request data deletion, please contact us at [email protected].
  • Cookie Preferences: You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the cookie consent banner displayed when you first visit our site.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our tools and website are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete their account and data.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website features evolve. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this page or by sending an email notice.
