Do not place sensitive medical, financial, identity-document, precise-location, or confidential pastoral information in free-text fields.

• Provide accounts, gameplay, Bible-reading features, progress, rewards, friends, forums, news, and support.
• Verify identity and email, maintain sessions, recover access, enforce safety limits, and prevent unauthorized activity.
• Moderate community content, investigate reports, protect children, and enforce the Terms.
• Measure internal feature use, unique content views, errors, and performance so the service can be improved.
• Send service messages such as verification, security, moderation, invitations, or important update notices.
• Comply with lawful obligations and protect the rights and safety of players, the project, and others.

Depending on applicable law, processing may rely on providing the requested service, legitimate operational and safety interests, consent where required, or legal obligations. The service aims to follow transparency, purpose limitation, proportionality, and data-minimization principles.

Public identity areas may display your chosen display name, learner ID, badge, title, border, rankings, scores, posts, comments, reactions, and other activity you intentionally share.

Email, password, phone number, country, age confirmations, moderation notes, and private account fields are not intended to be public. Never place private information inside public posts, profile text, prayer messages, or comments.

The project does not sell personal information and does not use player data for targeted advertising.

Information may be processed by limited service providers needed for hosting, database storage, email delivery, security, backups, or technical support. It may also be disclosed when required by law, to respond to a valid legal request, to investigate abuse or security threats, or to protect a person from serious harm.

If a player requests a physical or ministry-related item, only information reasonably necessary to review and fulfill that request should be collected or shared.

The service may use essential cookies or browser storage for login sessions, CSRF protection, theme, compact mode, audio choices, PWA behavior, and other requested preferences. Internal analytics may count feature use or unique views without turning refreshes into fake popularity.

Blocking essential storage may prevent sign-in or break requested features. Any future non-essential tracking should be disclosed and, where required, offered with appropriate choices before use.

Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, account administration, safety, dispute handling, backups, security, or legal obligations. Retention may differ by record type.

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, including password hashing, access controls, role restrictions, rate limits, validation, backups, and moderation tools. No online system can promise absolute security.

Hosting, email, or technical providers may process information in another country. Where applicable, reasonable safeguards and mandatory local rights continue to apply.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, object to or restrict certain processing, receive a copy, withdraw consent, or complain to a data-protection authority.

• Update available profile fields through Profile settings.
• Use account deletion controls when you wish to close the account.
• Ask the project team to review inaccessible, incorrect, or disputed data.
• Parents or guardians may request review or deletion of a child’s information where applicable.

Some records may be retained when necessary for security, legal obligations, fraud prevention, or protecting other users.

This notice may be updated as features, service providers, safeguards, or laws change. Important changes may be announced through News & Updates or login notices.
