NKETA 8 BAPTIST CHURCH

Privacy Policy — Hymnals App

This Privacy Policy explains how the Nketa 8 Baptist Church Hymnals mobile application ("App") handles information.

Last updated: 14 Feb 2026

The App is a donation project built by Kawerify Tech for Nketa 8 Baptist Church. It provides hymnals in Ndebele and Shona. The App is intended for all ages, including children (0+). The App is not designed for financial transactions and must not be used for money.

1. Who we are

App name: Nketa 8 Baptist Church Hymnals
Partner: Nketa 8 Baptist Church
Developer (donation): Kawerify Tech (Private) Limited
Contact: contact@kawerifytech.com

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to the App as distributed through mobile application stores and any updates to the App. It does not cover unrelated websites or services.

3. Summary (plain language)

Key points:
- The App is for reading/searching hymnals; it is not a payments app.
- We do not intentionally collect personal information from users.
- The App does not require account creation.
- If the App uses device features (like storage for offline access), it is only to provide the hymnal content.
- You can use the App without providing your name, email, phone number, or location.

4. Information we collect

The App is designed to operate without collecting personal information.

4.1 Personal information

We do not require you to submit personal information (such as your name, email address, phone number, home address, national ID, or payment details) to use the App.

4.2 Children’s data (0+)

The App is suitable for all ages, including children. The App does not include features intended to collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

4.3 Automatically collected information

We do not build the App to collect analytics by default. However, your device or the app store may collect certain information as part of standard platform operations (for example, crash reports or basic diagnostics). This information is controlled by the platform and your device settings.

5. How we use information

Because the App does not intentionally collect personal information, we generally do not have personal information to use. If we receive diagnostic information (for example, through a crash report), we use it only to:

- Fix bugs and improve stability
- Improve App performance and reliability
- Maintain compatibility with device versions

6. Payments, donations, and money

The App does not process payments, subscriptions, or donations inside the App. The App must not be used for money-related transactions.

7. Permissions and device access

The App may request limited device permissions only when needed to provide core features.

Possible permissions
- Storage / Files (optional): to enable offline access to hymnals if the App supports offline mode.
- Network access: to download updates or fetch content if the App uses online updates.

8. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal information with third parties because we do not intentionally collect it. If standard platform diagnostics are enabled, the platform provider may process diagnostics under their own policies.

9. Data retention

Because we do not intentionally collect personal data through the App, we do not maintain a personal data retention schedule. Any diagnostic reports retained by platform providers follow their retention policies.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the App and its content. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we aim to minimize risk by using standard security practices and limiting data collection.

11. Your choices & rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your information. Since the App is designed to not collect personal information, most requests will not apply. If you contact us and provide personal information by email, you may request deletion or correction of that email information.

12. Third-party services

The App may contain links to external websites (for example, a church website or developer website). If you open a third-party link, their privacy practices apply.

13. International users

The App may be used in different countries. The App is designed to minimize data processing. Any platform-level processing (such as crash reporting enabled on your device) may involve international data transfers under the platform provider’s policies.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above.
