Public policies
Clear expectations. Open access. Faithful stewardship.
These policies explain how People of His Book handles information, educational access, original work, and future membership.
01
Privacy Policy
People of His Book collects only information a visitor voluntarily provides, such as an email address, correspondence, an interest request, an assistance application, a volunteer application, a local-help request, or an optional résumé. We use that information to answer requests, provide requested updates, review volunteer abilities, coordinate possible community-project matches, administer future learning opportunities, and protect the integrity of this work.
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by service providers needed to operate the website, email, forms, course delivery, or payments when those services are activated. We retain information only as reasonably necessary and use practical safeguards, but no online system can promise absolute security.
Volunteer contact details, skills, experience, and résumés are kept in a private directory and are not published for public searching. Information is shared with a project participant only after a potential match is reviewed and ordinarily after the volunteer or requester is contacted. People of His Book may request references, licenses, background information, or additional safeguards when a project involves vulnerable people, regulated work, driving, finances, or elevated risk.
Do not submit private medical, financial, government-identification, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email. A parent or guardian should contact us before a child submits personal information. Requests to review, correct, or delete voluntarily supplied information may be sent to contact@peopleofhisbook.com.
02
Terms of Use
This website provides Scripture teaching, educational material, writings, and community information. Its content is not legal, medical, mental-health, financial, or professional advice. Readers remain responsible for testing what they read in context and making their own informed decisions.
Visitors may use the site for lawful personal study. They may not disrupt the service, misrepresent affiliation, impersonate another person, harvest personal information, or reproduce substantial original material for commercial use without written permission.
Links to Amazon, Blogspot, Substack, Facebook, Instagram, HalleluYah Scriptures, and other outside services are provided for convenience. Those services control their own content, availability, and policies. We may revise these terms as the work develops.
03
Membership and Cancellation Policy
The planned supporting membership is $40 per month and is intended to open one current course while helping sustain course development and assisted access for others. Membership payments are not yet active. No charge will be made until a payment service and final checkout terms are published.
When membership opens, the checkout page will state the billing interval, included access, cancellation method, and any refund conditions before payment. Cancellation will stop future recurring charges; access already provided for a current billing period may continue through that period unless the final checkout terms state otherwise.
Supporting payments should not be treated as tax-deductible charitable contributions unless People of His Book later provides written confirmation of qualified status. Questions may be sent to contact@peopleofhisbook.com.
04
Assisted-Access Policy
No learner will be turned away merely because the learner cannot afford to study. A person may request reduced-cost or sponsored access by explaining the course desired, the reason for studying, what can be contributed if anything, and a willingness to complete the lessons and practical assignments faithfully.
Assistance is based on available sponsorship, course capacity, and a good-faith review. Applicants are not required to disclose unnecessary private details, take on debt, or experience shame. Receiving assistance does not create lesser academic expectations or lesser standing in the learning community.
Information supplied for an assistance request will be used for reviewing and administering that request. Decisions may be revisited when circumstances or available sponsorship change. Requests may be sent to assistance@peopleofhisbook.org.
05
Community Help and Volunteer Policy
Community applications help People of His Book identify practical skills and genuine hardship among people Scripture repeatedly commands us not to neglect. Priority is given to the elderly, widowed, orphaned or guardian-less, disabled, seriously ill, poor, displaced, and families facing food, housing, transportation, utility, or disaster-related hardship. Ordinary improvements, commercial jobs, and convenience projects are outside the purpose of this service unless they directly meet a genuine need of a vulnerable person or household.
Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, assistance, a project match, reimbursement, employment, or any ongoing relationship. Volunteers remain free to accept or decline a proposed project, and requesters remain free to accept or decline a proposed volunteer.
People of His Book may decline, pause, or end a proposed connection when the work is outside the project’s scope, appropriate safeguards are unavailable, information cannot be verified, or a match would create unreasonable risk. Emergency, medical, mental-health, legal, financial, licensed-trade, child-care, elder-care, transportation, or other regulated needs should be handled by qualified providers and local authorities when appropriate.
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, volunteers are not employees or agents of People of His Book. Each participant is responsible for communicating scope, materials, costs, timing, permissions, insurance, qualifications, safety conditions, and any local legal requirements before work begins.
06
Copyright and Resource-Use Notice
Original site design, course structures, articles, study guides, and other material created by People of His Book are protected and may be used for personal, noncommercial study unless a page states otherwise. Brief quotations with clear attribution are welcome; substantial copying, redistribution, resale, or creation of derivative courses requires written permission.
Scripture translations, book covers, excerpts, logos, names, and third-party resources remain the property of their respective rights holders. HalleluYah Scriptures is identified as a primary study text, but People of His Book does not claim ownership of that translation or an official affiliation unless a written agreement expressly establishes one.
If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, contact contact@peopleofhisbook.com with the work identified, the location on the site, your contact information, and the basis of the request so it can be reviewed promptly.
07
Institute Status and Accreditation Disclaimer
People of His Book Institute is being developed as an independent Scripture-education and certificate institute. It is not presently accredited, does not award academic degrees, and does not offer college credit.
A completion certificate, when offered, will document participation in an Institute course. It must not be represented as a state license, professional credential, accredited degree, or guarantee that another school, employer, ministry, or licensing body will accept the coursework.
