Your information, choices, and pathways gathered clearly.

Privacy by purpose

Convergence Q45 collects and uses information according to the purpose presented at the point of participation. Public reading, account activity, saved reflections, workshop registration, routine program evaluation, follow-up communication, research participation, record linkage, case example contact, identifiable publication, event recording, and promotional communication follow distinct permissions and access boundaries.

Information that belongs outside general forms

• Protected health information and patient details
• Student education records
• Employer confidential or unpublished institutional information
• Confidential research information
• Passwords, credentials, access tokens, and security details
• Identifiable information or ministry stories about another person without permission

Short Strengths Test: optional private saving

The fifteen item workshop pilot scores original Convergence responses and records optional participant selected HIGH5 connections. Scoring works without creating a saved assessment record. When you choose private saving, this Site stores response choices, selected result labels, comparison connections, instrument and consent versions, record revision, and save and expiry times. A secure, HttpOnly cookie identifies the browser; the database stores a one way hash of that identifier.

Each save preserves your latest snapshot for access during the following thirty days. Expired records are unavailable and are removed during subsequent save activity. The assessment page provides PDF export and deletion. Anyone using the same browser profile may reopen its saved result; on a shared device, download your PDF and delete the saved record after use. This permission covers continuity of your assessment. Research participation follows the separate research permission pathway. Sitewide operational audit practices described below continue to apply.

Access, security, and retention

The Gifts and Strengths journey journal provides optional account saving for your reflections and self-entered indicators. It saves only when you choose the account save permission and submit a save. Signed in participants can restore the journal across devices, print their current entries and delete the saved content. Journal text has ongoing retention until participant deletion or verified account deletion handling through the privacy contact pathway. Deletion leaves minimal operational mutation receipts without reflection text. The journal is excluded from general form persistence and interaction content capture. Authorized operational or legal access follows the Site practices described here. This permission covers account continuity; research, publicity, story sharing and follow-up communications require their own applicable permissions.

The HIGH5 account journey saves your ranked strength labels, Q45 assessment responses, and versioned comparison in an account connected record. These records have ongoing retention, with no automatic 30 day expiration. You can update or delete the saved record at the HIGH5 page and request account deletion through the privacy contact pathway. Sign in with the same account to restore it across devices. Minimal save and deletion events support account security and operational integrity. The separate anonymous short test option retains its stated 30 day browser based save period.

The resource coupon pathway stores account identity, eligibility basis, registration details, review decisions, and resource orders for access administration. Uploaded registration or eligibility snapshots are restricted to the participant and authorized administrators for a thirty day review period. Administrators can remove expired snapshot files while retaining the eligibility decision. Participants can redact unrelated personal, financial, and institutional details. The dedicated eligibility upload is separate from general forms and research permissions.

Controls may include minimum necessary collection, authenticated access, role boundaries, coded participant matching, separation of direct identifiers, encryption where supported, audit records, export controls, incident response, retention schedules, deidentification, deletion, legal holds, withdrawal records, and publication review.

Within the Gifts, Strengths, and Life by Design studio, signed in participants can create a durable account connected record containing module completion, guided reflections, strengths and spiritual gifts observations, personal narrative, covenant fields, save history, and policy acknowledgment. Authorized administrators can review the complete identifiable record for participant service, continuity, support, safeguarding, quality oversight, privacy administration, security, agreement enforcement, and legal compliance.

The Convergence Q45 Behavioral Movement Reflection keeps a device local copy of answers and progress in browser storage. A signed in participant can separately authorize account connected saving of the educational reflection for continuity across devices. Completing the reflection does not require account saving. Copying, printing, saving a PDF, and carrying the movement language into a personal workbook are participant directed actions.

Operational analytics for that studio include participant and record counts, successful saves, return activity, modules completed, reflections answered, covenant fields prepared, pathway completion, policy acknowledgment, and recent activity. Research, publication, publicity, testimony, identifiable case examples, and AI model development require the applicable separate authorization and governance pathway.

Across the wider Site, eligible participant entered text, selected boxes and circles, form choices, progress, FieldLab sessions, crosswalk drafts, personal design workbooks, and formation records are centrally saved to the authenticated participant account. Passwords, authentication secrets, file-input contents, and fields expressly excluded for safety are not copied into the general interface-state record. Purpose specific submitted forms retain their own authoritative records.

The protected Permanent Audit Log records server receipt time, account or pseudonymous session, route, event type, component, outcome, consent state, browser and device description, viewport, language, referrer, Internet Protocol address when available, and limited technical metadata. Routine audit events exclude substantive free form content. Authorized administrators can review the audit ledger and protected participant records according to role and operational purpose.

The linked workshop orientation video loads only after the participant activates its player. Loading or opening it connects the participant to YouTube, whose privacy and service terms govern that third party interaction.

Specific operators, event hosts, payment recipients, data controllers, research sponsors, vendors, retention periods, and contact methods appear within the applicable transaction, event notice, policy, or research disclosure.

Evaluation and research

Routine evaluation supports workshop improvement and participant follow-through. Research designed to contribute generalizable knowledge follows a separately documented pathway with the institutional, ethics, privacy, legal, and consent review applicable to the project.

Withdrawal applies prospectively where reasonably possible. Information already irreversibly deidentified, included in completed analysis, inseparably aggregated, or published may remain within those completed forms.

Artificial intelligence

Authorized AI assistance may support search, accessibility, drafting, classification, participant directed summaries, and aggregate analysis under human review. Participants receive guidance about permitted inputs. AI does not determine spiritual authority, ministry office, clinical condition, employment suitability, academic standing, or research eligibility.

AI outputs are informational and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or contextually unsuitable. Participants remain responsible for independent judgment and qualified professional review where professional judgment is relevant. Models, workflows, features, and limitations continually evolve. Private reflections remain outside general model training unless a separate disclosure and required permission apply.

Aggregation, deidentification, and international access

Aggregated information combines records to describe groups, patterns, or service activity. Deidentified information removes or transforms elements reasonably capable of identifying a person and is protected through access limits, purpose restrictions, and controls against reidentification. These forms may support service improvement, accessibility, validation, workflow analysis, implementation studies, program evaluation, and properly governed publications.

Information may be processed in the United States and in service provider locations used to deliver the experience. Appropriate transfer measures will be applied where required. Applicable law may provide rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object, withdraw consent, receive information about processing, or obtain portable data. Requests may require reasonable identity verification.
