Privacy Policy
How your information is handled.
Responsibility and your choices
Onalaska Seventh-day Adventist Church is responsible for this app. Privacy and deletion requests: admin@kwjd.org. By selecting Accept, you acknowledge this privacy notice and agree to the described account service practices. This does not waive your privacy rights. Optional device permissions and optional detailed crash-report sharing remain separate choices; accepting this notice does not enable them.
Information used by the app
We store account name, email, password hash, role, profile details/photos, community posts and prayers, comments, messages and attachments, study participation/progress, reading highlights, device notification tokens and technical error reports to provide and secure the app. Content can reveal religious beliefs or other sensitive information. Share only information you are comfortable providing. Public/member content is visible to its intended audience; private messages are accessible to intended participants and may be reviewed by Admins/Owner when reported or screened for safety. Messaging is not end-to-end encrypted. Reports, review reasons, confirmed strikes, restrictions, blocks and policy acceptance versions/timestamps support community safety. We do not sell personal data.
External services
Hosting and the church database process account data. External content/services may include KWJD radio, the E. G. White library, GIPHY and device platform services. Requests to external providers can disclose network/device information and searches or interactions needed for their service. GIPHY use is subject to its privacy policy at https://support.giphy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032872931-GIPHY-Privacy-Policy. The app's App Store privacy disclosures describe collected data categories. Do not assume that third-party services receive no data.
Optional attendance and visitor access
Optional Sabbath attendance uses device location to verify presence near the church during service hours. Raw coordinates are checked and discarded by the attendance service; the database retains account, service/date and attendance timestamps. Turning attendance off stops new observations and removes unconfirmed observations; confirmed records remain until account deletion. Device location and notification permissions can also be changed in Settings. Visitor check-in details are stored separately; contact us for deletion of visitor records that were never linked to an account.
Permanent account deletion
Permanently delete your account in Account Deletion. After password confirmation, the service removes the live account and associated personal data, including profile media, authored posts/comments/messages, study data, attendance, notification tokens and linked visitor records. Other participants’ contributions remain in shared posts, conversations, events and Bible studies. We remove the departing person’s memberships, attribution, text and attachments, leaving neutral discussion containers where needed. Another remaining study participant can manage the shared study. No Admin approval or support email is required. The app confirms completion and clears its account session and caches. Deletion cannot retract copies that other people previously saved independently. Operational backups are isolated from normal app use; a minimal irreversible account-ID digest and deletion timestamp prevent deleted accounts being restored. Backups must be processed for these deletion records before restored data serves users. No content is retained in that deletion ledger.
Optional crash diagnostics
Optional detailed crash diagnostics are off by default. If you turn sharing on, the church server receives technical stack frames/binary identifiers, exception class or system error codes, app/build and OS versions, device model, crash time, memory/resource measurements and limited technical lifecycle events. Reports are linked to your account for access control and erasure and are available only to active Admins/Owner for app reliability. Reports exclude passwords, message text, photos, location, advertising identifiers, arbitrary application logs, exception messages and raw memory dumps. We do not use these reports for advertising or cross-app tracking. Native Apple/Google diagnostic availability and delivery vary. Your platform analytics settings remain separate. Pending reports stay in private app storage, excluded from backup. Reports expire after 30 days. Turning sharing off stops collection, clears pending reports and deletes your server crash reports; account deletion and termination also erase them.
Retention, security and contact
Termination for a policy violation uses the same permanent data erasure as voluntary deletion. Suspension alone does not erase data. We retain account data while the account exists to provide the service, subject to deletion requests and any applicable legal obligations. We restrict administrative access and use encrypted network connections; no system can promise absolute security. Ask admin@kwjd.org about access, correction, deletion or this notice. The public notice is available at https://kwjd.org/onalaska-sda-privacy/.
