Privacy

When you join: your first and last name, email address, and the timezone your device reports. Optionally a phone number, a photo, a short bio, and the chapter you belong to. If you sign in with Google, Google tells us your name, email address and profile picture — nothing else, and we ask for nothing else.

What you write: prayer requests and replies, announcements, chat messages, comments and encouragement on goals, calendar RSVPs, and any photos you attach.

What you track: goals you create, including weights you log, habit check-ins, and race results — because that is the point of the goals section, and other members can see them.

Housekeeping: your notification preferences, which photos you have cleared from your feed, and — if you turn on push — an anonymous token from your browser that lets a notification reach your device.

There is no analytics service, no advertising, no tracking pixels, and no third-party cookies. The only cookie is the one that keeps you signed in.

Photos are shrunk in your browser before they are uploaded, and that process strips the metadata a camera writes into a file — including GPS coordinates. A photo taken in your driveway does not upload your driveway. The date the picture was taken is read before that happens and kept, because the app sorts photos by when they happened.

Other approved members. This is a group app. Assume anything you post is visible to every approved member, including men in other chapters. Chapter labels organise things; they do not hide them.

Admins can additionally see the member list with email addresses and phone numbers, approve or decline sign-ups, and edit or remove content.

Nobody else. Nothing here is public, nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with anyone for marketing. There is no one to sell it to and no intention of finding one.

Running the app means a handful of companies necessarily handle data on its behalf. They are not given it for their own purposes:

• Supabase — the database, file storage, and sign-in.
• Vercel — hosting the website itself.
• Resend — sending email, such as password resets and the alerts you have asked for.
• Google — only if you choose to sign in with Google.
• Apple and Google push services — only if you turn on push notifications, to deliver them to your phone.

If you sign in with Google, the app receives your name, email address and profile picture, and uses them for one thing: to create and identify your account. That information is never sold, never transferred to anyone else except the services listed above, never used for advertising, and never read by a human except where you have asked for support or the law requires it. Its use is limited to providing and improving Warrior’s Way, in keeping with Google’s API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can revoke that access at any time in your Google account.

Your account and what you have written stay until you ask for them to go. Ask at ii.timothymartinjr@gmail.com and an admin can either retire your account — which keeps what you wrote but stops you posting — or delete it outright, which removes your profile and everything attached to it.

Photos posted to the group feed drop off the front page after two weeks but stay in the Photos archive. If storage runs short, the oldest of those are deleted automatically and the group is told when it happens.

Access is enforced in the database itself, so a man who is not an approved member cannot read the group’s content even if he finds the address. Traffic is encrypted. That said, this is a small app maintained by one man in his spare time, not a bank. Please do not put anything here you would be seriously harmed by if it got out.

Warrior’s Way is meant for adults and is not directed at children under 13. Accounts are approved by hand, and one for a child will not be approved.

Tim Martin runs the group and is the person to ask about anything on this page. The app itself, and the accounts with the services listed above, are maintained by Doug Moore, who can be reached at dougm1010@gmail.com for anything technical — including a request to delete your account and everything attached to it.

If this changes in a way that matters, the group will be told in an announcement rather than left to notice a new date at the top of the page.
