Proverbs226 

 owns/maintains the  Proverbs226 Android/AppStore app . This policy explains what data the app collects, how it’s used and shared, and your choices. This policy applies only to the Proverbs226 app and website pages we operate.

What we collect

Depending on how you use the app, we (and our service providers) may collect:

  • Account & Contact Info: name, email, phone (if you create an account, give, fill forms, or contact us).
  • Giving & Transaction Details: amounts, payment method and limited payment metadata (processed by our payment processors; we do not store full card data).
  • Device & App Info: app version, device type, OS, identifiers (e.g., device/instance IDs), crash/diagnostic logs.
  • Usage & Analytics: screens viewed, interactions, session info.
  • Location (approximate): only if enabled by your device/permissions for app functionality or analytics.
  • User-submitted Content: prayer requests, messages, forms you submit.

How we use data

  • Provide app features (accounts, giving, messages, event info).
  • Communicate with you (service messages, receipts, support).
  • Secure the service (fraud prevention, abuse, troubleshooting).
  • Improve the app (analytics, performance).
  • Comply with law and enforce terms.

Sharing
We share data only as needed to operate the app and for the purposes above:

  • Service Providers / Sub-processors: We use third parties to host, analyze, process payments, send emails/push notifications, and support our app.
    • This app is built on the Tithely platform; Tithely acts as a service provider processing data on our behalf. See Tithely’s privacy notice for more about their practices: https://get.tithe.ly/privacy-policy (for transparency).
  • Legal & Safety: if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business Transfers: if we undergo a restructuring consistent with this policy.

Data retention
We keep data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, to comply with legal/accounting obligations, or as required by our service providers’ lawful retention rules (e.g., payments).

Your choices & rights

  • You can opt out of non-essential analytics (where supported) and control permissions (e.g., location) in your device settings.
  • You may access, correct, or delete your personal data by contacting us at appowner@proverbs226.org. We will respond consistent with applicable law.
  • You can stop data collection by uninstalling the app.

Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

International transfers
Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we and our service providers operate, subject to appropriate protections.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version with a new “Effective date.” Material changes will be highlighted in the app or on our site.
