Safety comes first
Your story matters. So does their safety.
Two distinctive VineUpdates safeguards help you keep supporters close without exposing the people and places in your ministry.
What is SafeStory™?
SafeStory™ is a built-in safety review for your ministry updates. It helps flag names, specific locations and sensitive details that could identify someone, so you can review suggestions and prepare a safer version before sharing. The story stays yours; you decide what is published.
Basic SafeStory™ is included on Missionary. Missionary Plus adds Advanced SafeStory™ with password-protected and expiring links and the AI Security Advisor. Face blur is free on every plan: choose which detected faces to blur, or use Under His Shadow for automatic blur.
What is Under His Shadow?
Under His Shadow is heightened privacy for workers in sensitive or restricted settings, included on Missionary Plus. Your profile stays out of public discovery, and you have no public follow page. Supporters connect only through an invitation and your approval.
Detected faces are blurred automatically, notifications use discreet wording, and emergency lockdown lets you restrict access quickly. SafeStory™ focuses on the content you share; Under His Shadow focuses on protecting your visibility and access to it.
No tool can guarantee safety or prevent someone from saving or forwarding what they can see. Review every update and follow your organization’s security guidance.
