How we use information
We use information to create and secure accounts, provide church services and communications, manage permissions and church records, send requested notifications, respond to support requests, and improve our services. We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising.
Service providers
We use trusted providers—including Convex, Expo notification services, Google and Apple sign-in, email delivery services, and website hosting—to operate our services. They process information only as needed to provide those services on our behalf.
