Who we are
DOXA Discipleship is an online Bible study and discipleship community led by Josh Terada. This page covers invite.doxadiscipleship.com: the application, the contact form, 1:1 coaching, and the texts and emails that come from them.
What we collect
- What you tell us. Your name, email, mobile number, time zone, the answers you give on the application, any social handles you share, and a photo if you choose to add one.
- Coaching. Your request, intake answers, the times you pick, and a review if you leave one. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.
- A record of your consent. When you agree to texts we keep the exact wording you agreed to, when, and the internet address it came from, so we can always show you agreed, and honour it when you stop.
- What we don't do. There is no advertising tracking or analytics on these pages. Where a page shows a video, it plays through YouTube (in its privacy-enhanced mode) or Vimeo, under their own policies. Your browser keeps an unsent application on your own device so you don't lose it; it is never sent to us until you submit.
How we use it
- To review your application and let you know the outcome.
- To run the community: reminders, the weekly live link, recaps and occasional updates.
- To arrange, hold and follow up on coaching calls.
- To reply when you reach out.
We never sell your information, and we never share it with anyone for their own marketing.
Text messages
Members are texted about the study: reminders, the live link and community updates, a few times a week at most. Message and data rates may apply.
- To stop: reply STOP to any text. You'll get one message confirming it, and nothing after that.
- For help: reply HELP, or contact us.
- Mobile numbers and text consent are never shared with or sold to anyone for marketing. Texts are sent through Project Broadcast, which only uses your number to deliver them.
Who helps us run things
A few trusted services hold or process information for us, only to do their job:
- Google: storing applications and sending email.
- Railway: hosting this site and its database.
- Project Broadcast: sending texts.
- Kit: our email list.
- Circle: the community space, once you're a member.
- Stripe: coaching payments.
- Google Meet: coaching calls.
How long we keep it
Applications and member records are kept while the community is running, so we know who is part of it. Messages and coaching records are kept for as long as they're useful for caring for you well. A text or email we send is logged as sent; the log is there so nobody is texted twice or after saying stop.
Your choices
- Reply STOP to texts, or use the unsubscribe link in any email, at any time.
- Ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you. Get in touch and we'll take care of it. If you've asked us to stop texting you, we keep a note of that one fact so it is never undone.
Children
DOXA is for adults. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Changes
If this changes in a way that matters, we'll update the date at the top and, for anything significant, tell members directly.
