This policy explains how Jeremiah Chamberland, doing business as EveryStreet (“EveryStreet,” “we,” “us”) handles personal information in the EveryStreet app and website. It covers two groups of people: (a) app users such as church volunteers, staff, and guests who make an account, and (b) people who are recorded in a church’s notes (for example neighbors visited, bus riders, and their families). For group (b), the church decides why and how the information is used; we store and process it for the church as its service provider.
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account information | Your name, email address, a scrambled (hashed) password, your role and church, and an optional phone number. |
| Church Data entered by users | Names, addresses, phone numbers, ages and family relationships, visit dates and notes, follow-up and route information, attendance, bus rider details, chat messages, and uploaded photos or documents such as signed permission forms. |
| Sensitive information | Because this is a church tool, notes may include spiritual decisions or beliefs, family circumstances, and details about children. This is entered by churches, and we treat it as sensitive. We do not ask for or use it for any purpose other than running the app for the church. |
| Location | When you allow it, your device’s position is used in the app to show you on your own map and to place a marker or trace a street. Your live position is not saved or shared; only the markers and knocked-street lines you choose to create are saved. |
| Knocked-street lines | When you mark a street as knocked, the line on the map and the date are saved with your church (or your private notebook). A combined, anonymous copy of these lines (see “Who can see it”) is used for the EveryStreet coverage map. |
| Device and technical information | Browser type, push-notification token (if you turn notifications on), and basic logs. When you sign up, a one-way scrambled form of your network address is kept for up to 3 days to stop abuse. |
| Sign-up checks | A six-digit code sent to your email (kept for 15 minutes, in scrambled form) and a Cloudflare “not a robot” check. |
We do not sell personal information, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
| Company | What it does |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, sign-in, and file storage. Church Data is stored here. |
| Cloudflare | Hosts the app and runs the “not a robot” check on the sign-up page. |
| Google Maps (maps and address lookup) and Gmail (sending sign-up codes). Google’s own privacy policy applies to its services. | |
| Push services (Apple, Google, Mozilla) | Deliver notifications to your device if you turn them on. |
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect people’s safety or our rights, or as part of a merger or transfer of the Service (the new owner must honor this policy).
We keep account and Church Data for as long as the account or the church’s workspace is active. When a church or a person asks us to close it, we delete or anonymize the information within a reasonable time (normally within 30 days), except what the law requires us to keep and copies in routine backups that expire on their normal schedule. Knocked-street lines in the coverage map are the exception: we cut their link to the church and may keep the plain line and date, which identify no person or church. Sign-up codes are kept 15 minutes and sign-up abuse logs up to 3 days.
Information travels over encrypted connections. Our hosting providers encrypt stored data. Passwords are stored only in scrambled form. Access is limited by role and by church, and new sign-ups pass a robot check and email verification. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security. Please use a strong, unique password and tell us right away if you suspect misuse.
EveryStreet is for adult and teen volunteers and is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may not make accounts. Churches may record information about children they serve (for example bus riders). Churches are responsible for getting a parent’s or guardian’s permission first, and we ask them to use the permission form in the app. A parent or guardian who wants to see, correct, or delete a child’s information should contact the church first; you may also write to us and we will help the church act on the request. If you believe a child under 13 has made an account, tell us and we will delete it.
We use only what the app needs to work: your signed-in session, a saved copy of your data for offline use, and settings such as the last screen you viewed. Cloudflare’s robot check may set its own technical cookie. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
EveryStreet is operated from the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. If you use the app from outside the United States, you understand your information will be handled there.
We will post updates here and change the date above. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
