For many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, missionary service is a significant
milestone in their lifelong spiritual growth. Church leaders desire that this sacred time of service be a joyous
and faith-building experience for every missionary, from young men and women to senior couples. With this
goal in mind, it is imperative that each missionary be appropriately prepared, worthy, and healthy.
During the interview process, your priesthood leaders will ask you the following questions. Please direct any
questions you may have to your priesthood leaders.
These questions contain links to more information from the scriptures, Preach My Gospel: A Guide to
Missionary Service, and For the Strength of Youth. Please read and study all of this information.

1. The Church will have access to my personal and sensitive data, including sensitive data relating to my ethnic origin, religious
beliefs, physical and emotional health, and any criminal history, for the purposes of evaluating my missionary
recommendation, determining my missionary assignment if my recommendation is accepted, overseeing my mission, and
responding to emergencies and other circumstances that might affect my missionary service. I consent that the Church may
process my personal and sensitive data for these purposes.
2. I have informed my parents and/or caregivers that I will include some of their personal data in my missionary
recommendation.
3. My Bishop and Stake President (or Branch President, District President and Mission President, as the case may be) will
provide evaluations of my qualifications to serve as a missionary. I agree that these evaluations are related to determining
my worthiness and capacity to serve as a missionary. I understand that these evaluations are strictly confidential and I
hereby waive any right of access to these evaluations.
4. The provision of my personal data is necessary in order for the Church to process my missionary recommendation.
5. I authorize the transfer of my personal data, including sensitive data relating to my ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical
and emotional health, and any criminal history, to Church headquarters in the State of Utah, United States of America and to
other countries with less stringent data protection laws than the country in which I reside. I understand and acknowledge that
the transfer of this information is necessary for the Church to evaluate my recommendation to serve the Church as a
missionary.
6. With the exception of ecclesiastical leaders' evaluations, I may access, upon my written request, the personal data I have
provided in connection with this missionary recommendation and I may rectify any erroneous data.
7. I understand that the Church may have occasion to film or record me in connection with my missionary service. The Church
also may have access to images and videos of me that I post on social media or on other public websites or apps while
serving as a missionary. I authorize the Church to record or copy my name, voice, image, likeness, and performance in
connection with my missionary service, and to use such recordings and copies in any way and for any purpose related to the
Church's missionary activities (including to reproduce, distribute, publish, adapt, edit, display, translate, summarize, create
derivative works from, and sublicense). I waive any right to inspect, approve, or be compensated for such recording and use.
8. If I drive or am a passenger in a Church vehicle, I authorize the Church to record telematics data, such as who is traveling,
location, movements, speed, idle time, length of stops, miles driven, fuel usage, maintenance, seat belt use, acceleration,
deceleration, rapid starts, hard turns, and accidents. Some vehicles may also record video. This data may be used as part of
the Church’s Driver Accountability Program to promote safety, respond to incidents, and protect vehicles, occupants, and
others.
9. I authorize the Church to share information about my missionary service at its discretion with governmental or similar
organizations for limited statistical or reporting purposes. I also authorize the Church to verify my mission assignment(s) and
my dates of service when contacted by third parties for post-mission employment verification, such as when the government
or a private employer asks to verify when/where I served as a part of a background check.
10. If I am called to a service mission, I authorize the Church to share my personal and sensitive data (including my contact
information, information pertaining to my physical and emotional health and capabilities, and information relating to the
performance of my missionary service) with any charities or civic organizations where I am assigned to volunteer as
reasonably necessary for the purpose of coordinating and managing my missionary service.
11. Upon completion of my mission, my general contact information may be included in a returned missionary directory
12. I understand that, while the Church tries hard to protect the confidentiality of my data, when I authorize my data to be shared
under these Privacy Agreements the data may be shared via telephone, email, text message or other means that potentially
could be intercepted or read by a third party.
13. The Church will retain my personal data during my mission. Although some data will be destroyed after completion of my
mission, other data may be retained indefinitely as part of the historical or other records of the Church. Some data (such as
vehicle telematics information) will be anonymized after my personal data is no longer needed. I authorize the Church to use
and retain my data in its discretion.
14. Should I have questions concerning the protection of my personal data or the security of personal data processed by the
Church, I have been advised that I may communicate my questions to the Church's representative for data privacy at
[email protected].
Missionary Funds
I understand that all donations to the Church's missionary funds become the property of the Church to be used at the Church's sole discretion in its missionary program
and are not refundable.
Electronic Devices
The Church allows the use of technology to help me fulfill my missionary purpose. The Church may provide a device to me or I may be required to purchase a
Church-approved device, but regardless of ownership I recognize that using technology is a privilege that can be revoked. I hereby accept the responsibility to use
technology only in ways that are consistent with my missionary calling and not in any way that is obscene, defamatory, illegal, or hateful or that infringes the rights of
others. I understand that as a missionary I may have access to personal and private information of others, including non-members and members of the Church. I agree to
keep confidential all personal information contained in systems and devices to which I may have access, and commit not to share it with anyone who is not authorized.
To ensure I am using the device appropriately, I will allow the Church to inspect and monitor my use at any time. This may include: (i) tracking the movement and the
location of devices provided to me; (ii) monitoring my communications, internet searches, or downloads; (iii) remotely wiping the device of all data; or (iv) locking the
device to prevent access by unauthorized persons. I understand that if a device is wiped I may permanently lose all data that has not been backed up. I will have no
expectation of privacy when using computers or electronic devices as a missionary. I will obey all mission rules and instructions regarding use of technology, including the
use of security precautions like passwords and encryption. I agree to report a lost or stolen device to the Church immediately, to install and use only authorized software
and applications, and to abide by the terms of any licence agreements to which Church devices may be subject.
Handbook 1: Stake Presidents and Bishops indicates that all missionaries are strongly encouraged to maintain their existing medical insurance during their missions. This
conserves Church funds and helps missionaries avoid having to prove insurability after their missions. Maintaining coverage helps provide protection for past chronic or
congenital problems and post-mission medical needs. This directive is consistent with the principles of self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
Couples and single sisters ages 40 and over are responsible for their own health care expenses and must have health insurance adequate for their mission assignments.
If the insurance coverage of those living away from home is not adequate for their assignment, Deseret Mutual will send them information on additional insurance that
they may purchase. Missionaries who need additional coverage but do not enroll in the DMBA plan must provide proof of adequate coverage before their service begins.
Acknowledgement:
I understand that if I am called to a service mission, I am solely responsible for all of my medical, dental, and liability expenses.
For proselyting missionaries, I understand that if I become sick or injured during my mission, the Church may provide initial payments for my medical expenses except for
preexisting conditions. Payments in the United States will be made through Missionary Medical, a Department of Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators (DMBA), a
not-for-profit Church affiliated entity. Payments outside the United States will be made through Aetna International and its network partners.
These payments are made from the general funds of the Church and are gratuitous and voluntary in nature. Payments are not made from a Church insurance policy and
are not intended to replace my personal health insurance.
Likewise, if I am involved in an accident while driving a Church-owned vehicle for which the Church carries insurance, but the damages attributable to me exceed the
coverage limits, the Church may seek contribution from any personal or family liability insurance policy available to me, including but not limited to automobile,
homeowner's, or general liability policies.
In either case, I understand that claims will be filed with my insurance carrier. I agree to support all recovery efforts (including assisting in claims filing and reimbursement
procedures) in the event the Church makes initial payment for medical expenses. I agree to support efforts by Missionary Medical to coordinate care directly with my
parents (when authorized for disclosure), healthcare providers, and my insurance carrier.
I understand that if I am involved in an accident that the Church neither encourages nor discourages legal action from potentially liable or responsible third parties. I agree
to reimburse the Church for expenses paid on my behalf in the event a settlement is reached or when a liable party makes payments.
Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators (DMBA), through its Missionary Medical Department, helps to coordinate and administer missionary health care for proselyting
missionaries. DMBA is a not-for-profit Church-affiliated entity that has been assigned by the Church's Missionary Department. The United States government has enacted
privacy laws and regulations with which DMBA must comply. One of the requirements is to provide you with a Notice of Privacy Practices explaining how your health
information will be used and disclosed.
1. Understanding Your Health Record/Information
Each time you visit a hospital, physician, or other health-care provider, a record of your visit is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination and test
results, diagnoses, treatment, and a plan for future care or treatment. It may also contain correspondence and other administrative documents.
Protected health information (or "PHI") is any personally identifying information which when linked to health data could be used to identify an individual. This information
may be stored or transmitted in any form (for example, paper, electronic, verbal, etc.). All of this information, often referred to as your medical records, serve as a:
3. Our Responsibilities
Deseret Mutual is required to:
We will not use or disclose your PHI without your authorization, except for treatment, payment or health-care operations, or as provided by law.
We reserve the right to change our practices and make the new provisions effective for all PHI we maintain. If we do so, we will notify you of the changes in writing.
4. For More Information or to Report a Problem

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with Deseret Mutual's Compliance Officer, or with the United States Department of Health
and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Complaints must be in writing and can be filed either by mail or electronically. OCR will provide further information on
its Web site about how to file a complaint (www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa). Please note that there will be no retaliation for filing a complaint.
5. Uses or Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, and Health Care Operations
Treatment, Payment, and Health Operations: We may use your PHI for treatment, payment, and health care operations. For example, treatment information
obtained by a nurse, physician, or other member of your health care team will be recorded in your record and used to determine the course of treatment that
should work best for you. For payment, a bill may be sent to you or a third party payer. For health care operations, we may use your health care information to
study ways to improve utilization or reduce health care costs.
United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA): We may disclose to the FDA PHI relative to adverse events with respect to food, supplements, product and
product defects, or post-marketing surveillance information to enable product recalls, repairs, or replacement.
Public Health: As required by law, we may disclose your PHI to public health or legal authorities charged with preventing or controlling disease, injury, or
disability.

For many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, missionary service is a significant
milestone in their lifelong spiritual growth. Church leaders desire that this sacred time of service be a joyous
and faith-building experience for every missionary, from young men and women to senior couples. With this
goal in mind, it is imperative that each missionary be appropriately prepared, worthy, and healthy.

1. The Church will have access to my personal and sensitive data, including sensitive data relating to my ethnic origin, religious
beliefs, physical and emotional health, and any criminal history, for the purposes of evaluating my missionary
recommendation, determining my missionary assignment if my recommendation is accepted, overseeing my mission, and
responding to emergencies and other circumstances that might affect my missionary service. I consent that the Church may
process my personal and sensitive data for these purposes.
2. I have informed my parents and/or caregivers that I will include some of their personal data in my missionary
recommendation.
3. My Bishop and Stake President (or Branch President, District President and Mission President, as the case may be) will
provide evaluations of my qualifications to serve as a missionary. I agree that these evaluations are related to determining
my worthiness and capacity to serve as a missionary. I understand that these evaluations are strictly confidential and I
hereby waive any right of access to these evaluations.
4. The provision of my personal data is necessary in order for the Church to process my missionary recommendation.
5. I authorize the transfer of my personal data, including sensitive data relating to my ethnic origin, religious beliefs, physical
and emotional health, and any criminal history, to Church headquarters in the State of Utah, United States of America and to
other countries with less stringent data protection laws than the country in which I reside. I understand and acknowledge that
the transfer of this information is necessary for the Church to evaluate my recommendation to serve the Church as a
missionary.
6. With the exception of ecclesiastical leaders' evaluations, I may access, upon my written request, the personal data I have
provided in connection with this missionary recommendation and I may rectify any erroneous data.
7. I understand that the Church may have occasion to film or record me in connection with my missionary service. The Church
also may have access to images and videos of me that I post on social media or on other public websites or apps while
serving as a missionary. I authorize the Church to record or copy my name, voice, image, likeness, and performance in
connection with my missionary service, and to use such recordings and copies in any way and for any purpose related to the
Church's missionary activities (including to reproduce, distribute, publish, adapt, edit, display, translate, summarize, create
derivative works from, and sublicense). I waive any right to inspect, approve, or be compensated for such recording and use.
8. If I drive or am a passenger in a Church vehicle, I authorize the Church to record telematics data, such as who is traveling,
location, movements, speed, idle time, length of stops, miles driven, fuel usage, maintenance, seat belt use, acceleration,
deceleration, rapid starts, hard turns, and accidents. Some vehicles may also record video. This data may be used as part of
the Church’s Driver Accountability Program to promote safety, respond to incidents, and protect vehicles, occupants, and
others.
9. I authorize the Church to share information about my missionary service at its discretion with governmental or similar
organizations for limited statistical or reporting purposes. I also authorize the Church to verify my mission assignment(s) and
my dates of service when contacted by third parties for post-mission employment verification, such as when the government
or a private employer asks to verify when/where I served as a part of a background check.
10. If I am called to a service mission, I authorize the Church to share my personal and sensitive data (including my contact
information, information pertaining to my physical and emotional health and capabilities, and information relating to the
performance of my missionary service) with any charities or civic organizations where I am assigned to volunteer as
reasonably necessary for the purpose of coordinating and managing my missionary service.
11. Upon completion of my mission, my general contact information may be included in a returned missionary directory
12. I understand that, while the Church tries hard to protect the confidentiality of my data, when I authorize my data to be shared
under these Privacy Agreements the data may be shared via telephone, email, text message or other means that potentially
could be intercepted or read by a third party.
13. The Church will retain my personal data during my mission. Although some data will be destroyed after completion of my
mission, other data may be retained indefinitely as part of the historical or other records of the Church. Some data (such as
vehicle telematics information) will be anonymized after my personal data is no longer needed. I authorize the Church to use
and retain my data in its discretion.
14. Should I have questions concerning the protection of my personal data or the security of personal data processed by the
Church, I have been advised that I may communicate my questions to the Church's representative for data privacy at
[email protected].
Missionary Funds
I understand that all donations to the Church's missionary funds become the property of the Church to be used at the Church's sole discretion in its missionary program
and are not refundable.
Electronic Devices
The Church allows the use of technology to help me fulfill my missionary purpose. The Church may provide a device to me or I may be required to purchase a
Church-approved device, but regardless of ownership I recognize that using technology is a privilege that can be revoked. I hereby accept the responsibility to use
technology only in ways that are consistent with my missionary calling and not in any way that is obscene, defamatory, illegal, or hateful or that infringes the rights of
others. I understand that as a missionary I may have access to personal and private information of others, including non-members and members of the Church. I agree to
keep confidential all personal information contained in systems and devices to which I may have access, and commit not to share it with anyone who is not authorized.
To ensure I am using the device appropriately, I will allow the Church to inspect and monitor my use at any time. This may include: (i) tracking the movement and the
location of devices provided to me; (ii) monitoring my communications, internet searches, or downloads; (iii) remotely wiping the device of all data; or (iv) locking the
device to prevent access by unauthorized persons. I understand that if a device is wiped I may permanently lose all data that has not been backed up. I will have no
expectation of privacy when using computers or electronic devices as a missionary. I will obey all mission rules and instructions regarding use of technology, including the
use of security precautions like passwords and encryption. I agree to report a lost or stolen device to the Church immediately, to install and use only authorized software
and applications, and to abide by the terms of any licence agreements to which Church devices may be subject.
Handbook 1: Stake Presidents and Bishops indicates that all missionaries are strongly encouraged to maintain their existing medical insurance during their missions. This
conserves Church funds and helps missionaries avoid having to prove insurability after their missions. Maintaining coverage helps provide protection for past chronic or
congenital problems and post-mission medical needs. This directive is consistent with the principles of self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
Couples and single sisters ages 40 and over are responsible for their own health care expenses and must have health insurance adequate for their mission assignments.
If the insurance coverage of those living away from home is not adequate for their assignment, Deseret Mutual will send them information on additional insurance that
they may purchase. Missionaries who need additional coverage but do not enroll in the DMBA plan must provide proof of adequate coverage before their service begins.
Acknowledgement:
I understand that if I am called to a service mission, I am solely responsible for all of my medical, dental, and liability expenses.
For proselyting missionaries, I understand that if I become sick or injured during my mission, the Church may provide initial payments for my medical expenses except for
preexisting conditions. Payments in the United States will be made through Missionary Medical, a Department of Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators (DMBA), a
not-for-profit Church affiliated entity. Payments outside the United States will be made through Aetna International and its network partners.
These payments are made from the general funds of the Church and are gratuitous and voluntary in nature. Payments are not made from a Church insurance policy and
are not intended to replace my personal health insurance.
Likewise, if I am involved in an accident while driving a Church-owned vehicle for which the Church carries insurance, but the damages attributable to me exceed the
coverage limits, the Church may seek contribution from any personal or family liability insurance policy available to me, including but not limited to automobile,
homeowner's, or general liability policies.
In either case, I understand that claims will be filed with my insurance carrier. I agree to support all recovery efforts (including assisting in claims filing and reimbursement
procedures) in the event the Church makes initial payment for medical expenses. I agree to support efforts by Missionary Medical to coordinate care directly with my
parents (when authorized for disclosure), healthcare providers, and my insurance carrier.
I understand that if I am involved in an accident that the Church neither encourages nor discourages legal action from potentially liable or responsible third parties. I agree
to reimburse the Church for expenses paid on my behalf in the event a settlement is reached or when a liable party makes payments.
Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators (DMBA), through its Missionary Medical Department, helps to coordinate and administer missionary health care for proselyting
missionaries. DMBA is a not-for-profit Church-affiliated entity that has been assigned by the Church's Missionary Department. The United States government has enacted
privacy laws and regulations with which DMBA must comply. One of the requirements is to provide you with a Notice of Privacy Practices explaining how your health
information will be used and disclosed.
1. Understanding Your Health Record/Information
Each time you visit a hospital, physician, or other health-care provider, a record of your visit is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination and test
results, diagnoses, treatment, and a plan for future care or treatment. It may also contain correspondence and other administrative documents.
Protected health information (or "PHI") is any personally identifying information which when linked to health data could be used to identify an individual. This information
may be stored or transmitted in any form (for example, paper, electronic, verbal, etc.). All of this information, often referred to as your medical records, serve as a:
3. Our Responsibilities
Deseret Mutual is required to:
We will not use or disclose your PHI without your authorization, except for treatment, payment or health-care operations, or as provided by law.
We reserve the right to change our practices and make the new provisions effective for all PHI we maintain. If we do so, we will notify you of the changes in writing.
4. For More Information or to Report a Problem
If you have any questions or if you would like additional information, you may contact Deseret Mutual's Compliance Officer by telephone (1-801-578-5600 or
1-800-777-3622), by mail (PO Box 45730, Salt Lake City, UT 84145) or by fax (1-801-578-5906).
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with Deseret Mutual's Compliance Officer, or with the United States Department of Health
and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Complaints must be in writing and can be filed either by mail or electronically. OCR will provide further information on
its Web site about how to file a complaint (www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa). Please note that there will be no retaliation for filing a complaint.
5. Uses or Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, and Health Care Operations
Treatment, Payment, and Health Operations: We may use your PHI for treatment, payment, and health care operations. For example, treatment information
obtained by a nurse, physician, or other member of your health care team will be recorded in your record and used to determine the course of treatment that
should work best for you. For payment, a bill may be sent to you or a third party payer. For health care operations, we may use your health care information to
study ways to improve utilization or reduce health care costs.
United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA): We may disclose to the FDA PHI relative to adverse events with respect to food, supplements, product and
product defects, or post-marketing surveillance information to enable product recalls, repairs, or replacement.
Public Health: As required by law, we may disclose your PHI to public health or legal authorities charged with preventing or controlling disease, injury, or
disability.
Correctional Institution: If you become an inmate of a correctional institution, we may disclose to the institution or agents thereof PHI necessary for your health
and for the health and safety of others.
Law Enforcement or Judicial Proceedings: We may disclose certain PHI for law enforcement purposes as required by law or in response to valid subpoena.
