You can scan any card, read every mission and Scripture, accept and complete missions, and explore Discover Jesus without an account. Here is exactly what we collect and why.

Mission taps (everyone)

When you tap Accept Mission or Mission Complete, we record the mission number, which button you tapped, when, and your approximate area (city, region and country, estimated from your internet connection). This powers the counts and maps. Maps show cities only, never an exact location. On a phone using cellular data, that estimate can be a nearby big city, so after you complete a mission you can choose Use my location: your phone asks your permission, sends a location rounded to within about a mile, once,, and we save only the nearest town, never the location you shared. You can say no and your mission still counts. Town names come from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0).

When someone opens an ACT1V8 Credit Card page by scanning its QR code, we count it once per device, card and day, with the approximate city (estimated from the internet connection). No IP address, name or device ID is stored, and nothing is asked of you. Only ACT1V8 admins see the totals. We do not store your IP address. So each mission counts once per device, your browser keeps a random ID on your device; only a scrambled version of it is sent with a tap, and it can't identify you. Taps from search engines and other automated tools aren't counted.

If you're signed in to an ACT1V8 account, these taps are also linked to your account so you can see them in My Ripple.

"Where are you with Jesus today?"

If you answer this question on the Discover Jesus page, we add one to a running count for that answer on that day. That's all we keep: no name, no email, no account, no IP address, no location and no time of day, even if you're signed in. Your browser remembers your answer so you're counted once and can change it. Only ACT1V8 admins see the totals.

ACT1V8 Community accounts (optional, 13+)

If you create a free account we keep your email address, your first name if you give it, your confirmation that you are 13 or older, and whether you chose to receive ACT1V8 news by email. We sign you in with a one-time code sent to your email; there are no passwords.

Creating an account does not sign you up for marketing email. You'll only get ACT1V8 news if you check that box, and you can turn it off anytime in My Ripple. We'll still send account and order emails you need, like sign-in codes and shipping updates.

Orders

When you buy something we keep your name, email, shipping address, what you ordered and what you paid, so we can ship your order and help with any questions. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.

Early access list

If you sign up for early access to the Mission Kit, we keep your email (and first name, if you give it) to tell you when pre-sale opens and share occasional ACT1V8 news. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and we never sell or share your address.

Church interest requests

If you ask to be notified on our Churches page, we keep the details you send (your name, email, church, city and state, and anything optional you add) so we can contact you about ACT1V8 church resources. We use them for nothing else. Ask us any time and we'll delete them.

Cookies and your device

• One sign-in cookie keeps you signed in to your account. It's only set if you sign in.
• Your browser remembers your cart, whether you accepted or completed a mission, and your answer on Discover Jesus. That stays on your device.
• No advertising or tracking cookies, and we never sell your information.

Who helps us run ACT1V8

We use a few trusted services to operate the site: Stripe (payments and sales tax), Cloudflare (website security, mission counts and accounts), Render (website hosting), Resend (sending emails) and Microsoft (our email inbox). They only use your information to provide their service to us.

Children

Accounts are for people 13 and older. Anyone can use the cards and the mission pages without an account. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your choices

• Turn ACT1V8 news emails on or off anytime in My Ripple, or with the unsubscribe link in any news email.
• Ask us to see, correct or delete your account information by emailing hello@act1v8missions.com.

About the numbers

Mission counts are self-reported. Every copy of a card shares the same link, so we can't follow a particular card. We never claim to measure anyone's faith or spiritual experience.
