Cookies
We automatically collect anonymous/statistical data via cookies when you visit our website(s). Please see our cookie notice for further information.
What information do we collect?
We only collect information which is necessary for us to document and manage your answered prayer and keep you up to date with the progress of Eternal Wall, where you have consented to receive further information.
The information we request includes:
- Your full name
- Email address
- Postal address
- Details of your answered prayer
- The name of the church that you attend
- Telephone number (in case we need to contact you in relation to your donation or answered prayer submission).
You will receive information from us in two instances:
1. You have opted into our mailing list or requested that we add you to our mailing list via:
- A face-to-face or telephone conversation with a member of our team or by contacting us directly by email or text.
- By providing consent for Eternal Wall to send updates and information when donating, submitting an answered prayer on our website, completing a prayer form or phoning a prayer collection phone line.
- By entering your contact details in the ‘Follow the Journey’ section on our website
- By responding to a text message or email.
2. You have engaged with Eternal Wall in the past, for example by donating to our kick-starter campaign and providing your contact details.
Please note that your textual answered prayers will be pseudonymised i.e., only Eternal Wall staff with elevated security privileges will be able to associate your answered prayers with personal data you provide at the time of submission. The publicly available database of textual answered prayers will ALWAYS be anonymised. Be aware that if you share images (pictures or video) alongside your answered prayer, these may be used to identify you in the publicly available database.
How do we use your information?
We only collect the information required for the lawful purposes described in this privacy policy.
Answered Prayers
When you submit an answered prayer it will become part of the global digital archive where it will be preserved as a permanent resource for use in research, publications, education, lectures, broadcasting, and be available on the internet.
The publicly available archive will ONLY contain the anonymous content of your answered prayer; never who contributed it. We retain a link between the answered prayers and the information we gain at the time of your submission. This ‘link’, also called a ‘pseudonym’, is a special code that only a limited number of authorised people at Eternal Wall can use to reveal the identity of the contributor.
This pseudonymous link is used by Eternal Wall to ensure we can fulfil our obligations to safeguard those who proved answered prayers, to manage the provision of ‘brick certificates’, and to ensure we can support a data subject with their rights and freedoms.
More information can be found in the Contributor Information Sheet and Contributor Agreement, including our use of legitimate interests to process the data for the purpose of creating and maintaining a publicly available archive of Christian answered prayers.
Information and updates promoting our aims and ideals
When you opt in to receive information and updates we will send you emails containing monthly newsletters and updates plus information about other campaigns and events that we feel might interest you.
We will keep your email address and name on file. You are able to unsubscribe from our direct marketing at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email, via this link: (click here), or by contacting us and withdrawing your consent.

How long will your information be held?
If we collect your personal information, the length of time we retain it is determined by the purpose for which we use that data and our legal obligations. We do not retain personal data in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary.
