© 2004–2026 John Anthony Brown and respective contributors.
Copyright in original site material, code, graphics, publications and project material is protected except where permission is expressly granted. Copyright in material created by a contributor remains with that contributor unless a separate agreement expressly says otherwise.
These terms provide a common framework for the related work of Trauma in Religion, TFYQA.biz, The Blue•Print Project and Vault, and Personal Sovereignty.
These projects perform different but connected functions, including public-interest publishing and advocacy, survivor-controlled recording and preservation, structured reflection and response history, evidence management, provenance, technical tools, and the possible preservation of selected material for ethically governed future research.
These terms distinguish between:
• material deliberately published openly;
• private or restricted material held for an individual;
• material submitted specifically for publication; and
• material separately and explicitly contributed for preservation or research.
Storage in one of these systems does not by itself change private material into public material or research data.
Trauma in Religion is primarily a public-facing publishing, education, advocacy and historical-record environment. Material deliberately published on the public site is governed by the publication and copyright provisions in these terms.
TFYQA.biz provides technical, evidentiary and research-support infrastructure. This may include Evidence Maps, source indexing, provenance records, document relationships, structured datasets and tools intended to help a person organise, examine and support their own record.
The fact that material is processed or stored through a TFYQA.biz system does not make that material public and does not constitute permission for publication, disclosure or research use.
The Blue•Print Project and Vault are intended to support survivor-controlled recording, preservation, evidence, chronology, reflection, source provenance and selective sharing.
Private Vault material remains subject to the permissions and controls attached to that material. The existence of material in a Vault does not itself authorise access by a researcher, institution, publisher or other third party.
Personal Sovereignty provides structured reflective questionnaires, dated response histories, comparisons, exports and narrative tools intended to help a person preserve and examine their own developing account.
Personal Sovereignty questionnaires are reflective tools. They are not diagnostic instruments.
Unless otherwise credited, original public material published by Trauma in Religion, TFYQA.biz, The Blue•Print Project or Personal Sovereignty is protected under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) and applicable copyright law.
This may include text, graphics, software code, multimedia, page design, compilations, structured material and other original works.
Nothing in this section transfers copyright in material created by a contributor merely because that material has been submitted, stored or processed by one of the projects.
Private records remain under the control of the person who created or deposited them, subject to applicable law and any specific permissions that person has given.
Storing material in Personal Sovereignty, the Blue•Print Vault, TFYQA.biz infrastructure or another private project area does not by itself:
• transfer copyright or ownership of the source material;
• authorise publication;
• authorise disclosure to another person or organisation;
• authorise quotation;
• authorise research use; or
• make private material publicly accessible.
The intended sovereignty model is that a person can, where the relevant function is available: keep, review, preserve, export, selectively share, contribute to research, or delete their material.
Permissions should be determined by the choices attached to the material, not merely by the fact that the material exists in the system.
Trauma in Religion, TFYQA.biz, The Blue•Print Project and Personal Sovereignty recognise that survivor/victims may hold knowledge of historical, social, institutional and research significance that could otherwise be lost.
The projects seek to provide mechanisms through which that knowledge can be preserved while respecting the authority, choices, privacy and dignity of the person who contributed it.
Preservation does not by itself create permission for publication, disclosure, quotation or research use.
Private records are not automatically research data.
Where a research-contribution facility is offered, a person may separately choose to contribute selected material for secure preservation and possible future research.
A research contribution may include structured questionnaire responses, selected Vault records, selected reflections, event data, source relationships or other material that the contributor has specifically chosen to make available under stated conditions.
A person may be offered different choices concerning the scope of a contribution, such as:
• contribution to aggregate statistical analysis;
• controlled access to selected de-identified records;
• permission or refusal to use de-identified quotations;
• limits on the kinds of research for which the material may be considered;
• whether future contact may be requested through an intermediary; and
• where such a facility is offered, whether selected material may be preserved for research after the contributor's death.
Declining research contribution does not remove a person's ability to use the private Personal Sovereignty or Blue•Print Vault functions made available to them.
A contributed research record may be securely preserved even where no immediate research project exists.
The existence of a preserved research collection does not create an entitlement to access it.
Future access may be considered only where the proposed researcher or research organisation meets the ethical, privacy, competence, security, governance and research purpose requirements applicable to the collection at that time, and where the proposed use is consistent with the permissions under which the material was contributed.
Where applicable, research involving contributed material should be conducted consistently with current Australian human-research ethics requirements, including the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research then in force.
Removing a person's name does not necessarily make a rich personal record anonymous. Dates, institutions, locations, unusual events, quotations and combinations of facts may sometimes make a person recognisable.
For that reason, the projects use the term de-identified where appropriate rather than promising that detailed survivor material can always be made completely anonymous.
Depending on the nature of a research contribution, safeguards may include:
• removal or alteration of direct and indirect identifiers;
• separation of private source records from research copies;
• restricted or controlled access environments;
• access logging;
• contractual restrictions on use and disclosure;
• prohibition on attempts to re-identify a contributor; and
• providing aggregate analysis rather than raw records where that offers better protection.
Where research access is considered, conditions may include:
• a legitimate and clearly stated research purpose;
• appropriate ethical review where required;
• suitable expertise, competence or institutional accountability;
• appropriate information-security arrangements;
• use only for the approved purpose;
• no attempt to identify or re-identify a contributor;
• no unauthorised onward distribution;
• publication and quotation safeguards;
• compliance with the contributor's consent and permissions; and
• return, destruction or continued preservation of research copies as required by the approved arrangement.
Additional researcher-access agreements may apply to particular datasets or research collections.
Where the relevant functions are available, a person may be able to export or print their records, selectively share them, delete particular saved records, clear a questionnaire history, or delete their live response history and start fresh.
A deletion or withdrawal action can apply only to material that remains under the control of the relevant project or system.
Deletion or withdrawal cannot necessarily:
• recall copies already downloaded, printed, emailed or otherwise retained by the contributor or an authorised recipient;
• undo completed aggregate analysis;
• remove information already incorporated into a lawfully completed or published research output; or
• remove external backup copies that are outside the live system's deletion process.
Where research contribution is offered, the practical limits of withdrawal should be explained when consent is obtained.
Material submitted specifically for public publication is different from material deposited privately in Personal Sovereignty, the Blue•Print Vault or another restricted system.
Where a contributor knowingly submits material for publication, the contributor may grant a non-exclusive licence sufficient for the agreed publication, hosting and preservation of that published work.
Any publication-specific licence or agreement does not automatically extend to unrelated private records, supporting evidence, Vault material, questionnaire responses or research use.
Background or supporting material should be clearly identified as such and should not be assumed to have been submitted for public publication merely because it was supplied in support of a published work.
Visitors may view and make reasonable copies of public material for private study, education, commentary or other non-commercial purposes where permitted by law, provided that:
• the source is clearly acknowledged;
• the material is not falsely represented as the visitor's own work;
• the context is not materially distorted; and
• restricted, token-controlled, private or embargoed material is not accessed or redistributed without permission.
Trauma in Religion supports responsible public-interest discussion, including work directed toward understanding institutional misconduct and improving the protection of children and survivor/victims.
Publicly available material may be quoted or shared to the extent permitted by law and these terms, with appropriate attribution and without misrepresenting the source.
This does not create permission to disclose private, restricted, token-controlled or embargoed material.
Except where permitted by law or by explicit permission, prohibited uses include:
• unauthorised republication or commercial redistribution;
• unauthorised scraping or bulk extraction;
• unauthorised commercial data aggregation;
• unauthorised use of site material or private records for training AI systems or automated content generation;
• unauthorised access to restricted or private data;
• removal or falsification of provenance, attribution or access-control information; and
• attempts to identify or re-identify a person from de-identified research material.
Trauma in Religion and its associated projects seek to respect personal privacy, survivor confidentiality and individual control over private records.
Personal data is not treated as a commodity for sale. Private material is not to be disclosed, published or contributed to research merely because it has been stored within a project system.
More detailed privacy, data-governance and project-specific provisions may supplement this page as particular services are developed.
Unauthorised attempts to access, alter, damage, interfere with, extract, corrupt or misrepresent private systems, records, evidence, provenance or other digital assets may be investigated and referred to appropriate authorities where warranted.
Public content is provided for educational, historical, advocacy and informational purposes. While care is taken with accuracy and provenance, no guarantee is made that every record, recollection, interpretation or third-party source is complete or error-free.
Personal Sovereignty questionnaires and Response Stories are reflective tools. They do not diagnose a condition, establish causation, or replace professional legal, medical, psychological, research-ethics or other advice.
Some material discusses religious, governmental, institutional and sexual-abuse matters that may be distressing.
Additional terms may be published for particular project functions. Those provisions should be read together with this coordinating statement and should not be interpreted as reducing the common sovereignty principles expressed here.
In particular, additional provisions may address:
• Personal Sovereignty questionnaire history, Response Stories, export, deletion and optional research contribution;
• Blue•Print Vault evidence, provenance, controlled sharing, preservation and research permissions;
• TFYQA.biz Evidence Maps, source relationships, technical processing and research infrastructure; and
• Trauma in Religion publication and contributor arrangements.
These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Queensland, Australia, together with applicable Commonwealth law.
Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit a right or obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The inability of a child to thrive in an environment marked by abuse, sex crimes and fear-based indoctrination should never be attributed to a fault with the child.
There is no future for children or humanity in a society that repeatedly forgets how to protect its children and its most vulnerable by constantly hijacking the rights of the child to appease and to account for institutional failures.
