Privacy policy

Effective Date: November 2, 2026

1 Cup History preserves Church of Christ history and provides public access to selected historical records. This policy explains how information is handled when you browse our site, use our features, or contact our team.

1. Information in the Public Archive

The archive contains historical and reference materials, including publications, documents, images, and basic information about congregations and public preachers. Some historical information comes from earlier publications, manuscripts, or public records rather than directly from the individuals described.

Public pages are accessible to all site visitors. Public records may identify individuals or describe historical events and religious affiliations. Visitors should not assume that a historical record is accurate, current, or suitable for unrestricted republication merely because it appears in the archive.

2. Information You Provide Directly & Data Protection Guarantee

We do not sell, rent, trade, monetize, or share your personal information with third-party marketers, advertisers, or any commercial entities under any circumstances.

When you send a message through our Contact page, the site collects and stores only the name, email address, subject, and message details you voluntarily submit. Administrators use these details solely to review your inquiry and communicate directly with you. Messages sent through the contact form are private communications and are never published, shared, or posted to the public archive.

Please do not include unnecessary sensitive personal information, financial details, or confidential records when submitting a message.

3. Cookies and Browser Technology

We use essential cookies and browser storage technologies to maintain site security, deliver core functionality, and remember basic site preferences (such as your menu selections or file-list views).

• Notice Acknowledgements: When you acknowledge an important notice on the site, your browser stores a random, protected identifier to ensure the notice does not repeatedly appear during your visit.

• Managing Cookies: You can clear or block cookies through your web browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact site navigation and cause notices or preferences to reset.

4. Hosting, Infrastructure, and External Links

Our hosting provider, database systems, and delivery services process technical information (such as your IP address and access timestamps) strictly as required to serve web pages safely and securely.

Archive records and historical documents may occasionally link to third-party services, such as digital maps, educational tools, or external reference sites. When you click an external link, that provider receives your request and applies its own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy applies strictly to 1cuphistory.church.

5. Preserving, Correcting, and Updating Records

Preserving historical records is the central purpose of this archive. Public historical materials are retained in alignment with the archive’s educational mission and site security needs.

If you notice an inaccurate record, wish to update historical details, or believe a photograph or document requires restricted visibility or correction, please contact our administrative team. We review all requests carefully in the context of the historical record, the individuals involved, and the purpose of the archive.

6. Security and Policy Changes

We implement appropriate technical measures and access controls to protect site infrastructure and incoming correspondence. However, no internet transmission or website host can guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in site operations. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when the latest version was published.

7. Questions and Contact Information

If you have questions regarding this policy or wish to submit a content inquiry, please reach out through our Contact Us page. When contacting us about a specific record, please provide the relevant page link or historical description.
