Youth Alive Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 7, 2026

Youth Alive (“Youth Alive,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Christian ministry program that equips students to share Jesus and develop campus ministry with local church support. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information through youthalive.net and our connected GoHighLevel forms, courses, messaging, scheduling, and program records. It applies to students, pastors, leaders, parents, and other participants.
1. Information we collect
We collect information you provide through opt-ins, enrollment, forms, meetings, and messages. This may include your name, email, mobile number, age or age range, preferred language (English or Spanish), role, school or campus, church, youth pastor or leader name and contact details, and parent or guardian details when needed. Please provide only information you are authorized to share.
Program information may include course enrollment and progress, Campus Missionary and Movement status, goals and follow-up notes, Movement Game Plan submissions, Launch Meeting availability and attendance, event participation, and communications with our team. Voluntary submissions may include prayer requests, testimonies, photos, videos, and permissions for their use. These can reveal religious beliefs or other sensitive information; avoid unnecessary health details, private information about others, or sensitive student records.
Our website and connected services may collect technical information such as IP address, device and browser details, pages visited, timestamps, cookies, and message delivery or engagement information where enabled. We keep consent records, including the wording shown, selections, source, time, and opt-out status, to document communication preferences.
2. How we use information
We use information to respond to requests; enroll and support participants; provide training and resources; process Game Plans; schedule Launch Meetings; track Campus Missionary and Movement participation; coordinate appropriate church support; maintain safety; and operate, secure, and improve the program. We also use it to manage consent, honor requests, and meet applicable legal obligations.
Depending on your choices, we send course updates, training and event reminders, prayer, encouragement, resources, testimonies, and invitations. Message frequency varies by enrollment, activity, and preferences.
3. English and Spanish communications
We use your language preference to provide English or Spanish content where available. You may request a language change by contacting us. Selecting a language does not provide SMS consent or change the choices you make for marketing or program messages.
4. Communications and SMS privacy
Marketing SMS and non-marketing program SMS require separate, optional opt-ins. Marketing may include nurture content, encouragement, testimonies, resources, and invitations promoting participation. Non-marketing messages concern an enrollment, training, event, Game Plan, or Launch Meeting you requested.
Enrollment, accepting terms, submitting a phone number, or opting in to email does not by itself authorize SMS. We may use automated systems for the messages you authorize. Consent is not a condition of participation or purchase.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to the Youth Alive number that messaged you to stop SMS; one confirmation may follow. Reply HELP for help, or email youthalive@cddcyouth.com. A STOP request may stop all Youth Alive SMS from that sending number, including reminders. We also honor other clear revocation requests through supported channels.
Email marketing can be stopped using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us. Essential requested account or service notices may still be sent by email as permitted by law.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Youth Alive does not sell or rent mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or consent for third-party marketing. A pastor or church contact does not receive your SMS consent for its own messaging.
5. Providers and church coordination
We use GoHighLevel and necessary hosting, communication, scheduling, storage, and technical support providers to operate the program. Access is limited to what is needed for their work. Authorized ministry personnel may access relevant records for support and administration.
With your permission, and parent or guardian permission where required, we may share relevant participation or Game Plan information with your identified church or youth pastor. We do not automatically share private prayer requests or sensitive testimonies with a church.
We may disclose limited information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect a person’s safety or legal rights. Ministry communications are not guaranteed confidential counseling or legally privileged. We may need to report suspected abuse or safety concerns as required by law.
6. Teen students and media permission
Online enrollment and messaging are intended for people age 13 and older. Participants under 18 need parent or guardian permission to participate and to receive communications where required. Adults must not enroll a minor or provide a minor’s number without appropriate authority.
Under-13 children should not submit personal information through these forms. A parent seeking involvement for a younger child should contact us first without sending the child’s personal details. If we learn that we collected information from a child under 13 without a lawful basis or required permission, we will delete it or take other steps required by law.
Submitting a photo, video, prayer request, or testimony does not automatically authorize public use. We require appropriate permission for the intended use, including parent or guardian permission for identifiable minors and permission from other identifiable people.
We do not publish student contact details, precise schedules, or private prayer requests. Contact us to request removal of content we control; copies already printed, shared, or retained by others may not be fully recoverable.
7. Cookies and third-party services
Cookies and similar tools may support sign-in, forms, preferences, security, and measurement where enabled. You can manage cookies through your browser and any consent controls offered on the site. Some features may not work if cookies are blocked. Where required, we seek consent before using nonessential tracking.
We do not use student submissions or SMS consent records for third-party advertising.
Links, embedded content, meeting tools, and other external services may have their own privacy policies and terms. Their independent practices are outside our control. GoHighLevel and other providers may process information in the United States or other locations where they operate, subject to applicable safeguards and law.
8. Security and retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information, including access restrictions and account security measures. No system or transmission is completely secure. Use a strong password, keep access details private, and report suspected unauthorized access promptly.
We retain information only as reasonably needed for participation, follow-up, administration, safety, and applicable legal obligations. We may retain limited consent and suppression records to document permission and prevent unwanted messages.
We delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed, subject to necessary backup, legal, and security retention. Public media is handled according to the permission granted and any applicable withdrawal rights.
9. Your choices and privacy rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete your information; update language or contact preferences; withdraw communication or media permission; or close your account.
Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to obtain a copy, restrict or object to processing, appeal a denied request, or complain to a privacy regulator. These rights may have legal exceptions. We do not penalize you for exercising rights available under law.
Send requests to youthalive@cddcyouth.com. We may reasonably verify your identity or a parent’s authority before acting, and will respond within applicable legal deadlines.
Do not send passwords, identification documents, or sensitive student information unless we arrange a secure method. Parents or guardians may contact us about their child’s information. Withdrawing optional communications does not prevent participation, although it may affect how we deliver reminders.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this Policy as the program or legal requirements change. We will post the revised Policy with its effective date and provide additional notice or obtain new consent when required.
A Policy update does not authorize new SMS marketing or replace a required consent choice.
