Privacy
Civic Sanctuary is an independent volunteer project, run by one person. This page says plainly what happens to the information you enter. Last updated October 28, 2026.
What is stored
- Your name, email, role and church details, only if you request a neighborhood brief (or otherwise submit a form that asks for them). They are stored so I can follow up about the tool. I do not add anyone to a mailing list and I do not share or sell them.
- Anonymous usage counts. For each tool I keep a daily count of how many times it ran, split into "looks like a person" and "looks like a bot." These counts contain no names, no inputs and no IP addresses.
What is not stored
The church names, website addresses, ZIP codes and text you type into the tools are used to produce your result and are not saved. The one exception is a brief request, which keeps the church name and location alongside your name and email. The website audit reads the public pages of the address you give it, and keeps nothing from them.
What is sent to other services
- Cloudflare hosts this site. Like any host, it sees technical request information such as IP addresses. Cloudflare Web Analytics, if enabled, counts page views without cookies or cross-site tracking.
- OpenRouter and Google (Gemini) receive what you enter in the Lectionary Content Helper (church name, city, denomination, season) so an AI model can draft your text. The other tools do not send your input to an AI service.
- Google Fonts serves this site's typefaces, so your browser contacts Google when a page loads.
