The Information We Collect

Strong Marriages^® collects only the information needed to help strengthen marriage.

A highly secured password protected server stores the information. Information gathered from the assessment will be seen by organization leadership, which could be a minister or pastor, mentor, life coach, counselor, or group leader. Each of these individuals is aware of the sensitivity of the information and is educated on how to use the information throughout the program process. No other users entering the website will be allowed to see this information.

Responses from the personality portion of the Connect Assessment^® are captured in printable form and made available only to the organization leadership you authorize, you, and your spouse or future spouse. Once finished with the program, the information gathered from both spouse or future spouse will be stored in a password protected, secure area for an undetermined amount of time.
