This app is published by Destiny Life Church (“we”, “us”, “the church”), located at 18663 52 Ave. #102, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, V3S 8E5. We are the organisation responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
Questions about this policy or about your information can be sent to Kajorodinitto@gmail.com.
You are not required to create an account, sign in, or identify yourself to use this app. Most of the app — sermons, events, the Bible reader, service times and contact details — works without collecting anything about you.
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A name and phone number (both optional) and the text of your prayer request | Only when you submit the prayer request form | So our pastoral team can pray for you, and reach you if you have asked them to |
Prayer requests are stored in our database and emailed to our pastoral team. If you tick “Only the senior pastor will see this,” your request is not stored in our database at all — it is only emailed, marked confidential for the senior pastor. Requests are treated as private by default and are never displayed publicly in the app. A prayer request is a free-text field with no set questions, and people often share health, family, or financial circumstances in one. We treat whatever you write as sensitive personal information: it is stored privately, seen only by our pastoral team, and never shown in the app or shared outside the church. Please do not include information in a prayer request that you would not want our pastoral team to read, and avoid including financial account numbers, government identifiers, or another person’s health details without their consent.
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A push notification token, plus whether the device is iOS or Android | Only if you switch notifications on in Settings | So we can tell your device when a service goes live |
A push token identifies a device, not a person. It is not linked to a name, an email address, or anything else about you. Switching notifications off in Settings marks the token disabled and we stop sending to it.
The following never leaves your phone and is not visible to us: your light or dark appearance choice, your Bible reading position and font preferences, which announcement you last read, your notification preference, and a cached copy of recently viewed content so the app opens quickly. Deleting the app removes all of it.
When you make a gift, the payment itself is completed by PayPal in a secure browser window. We never receive, see, or store your card number, bank details, or PayPal login. What we record is limited to the amount, the fund selected, the payment method type, whether it was recurring, and the date. These records contain nothing that identifies the giver. PayPal itself does show us the name and email address attached to a gift in our merchant account, in the same way it does for any organisation receiving payments; we use that only to thank you and to issue receipts, and PayPal’s own handling of your payment is governed by PayPal’s privacy policy. If you need a giving receipt for tax purposes, please contact the church office directly.
We rely on a small number of third parties to run the app. Each receives only what it needs to perform its function.
| Provider | Purpose | What it may receive |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database and backend functions | Prayer requests, notification tokens, anonymous giving records |
| PayPal | Processing gifts | Your payment details, handled entirely by PayPal under its own privacy policy |
| Expo Application Services | Delivering push notifications | Your notification token |
| YouTube (Google) | Playing sermons and the live stream | Standard video playback data, subject to Google’s privacy policy |
| API.Bible | Supplying Scripture text | The chapter requested; no personal information |
| Resend | Emailing prayer requests to our pastoral team | The content of a submitted prayer request |
| Facebook (Meta) | Links to our page | Nothing, unless you tap through to Facebook |
Sermon and live video is embedded from YouTube. When a video loads, Google may set cookies and collect playback information under its own policies, which we do not control.
Our providers operate servers that may be located outside Canada, including in the United States. Information stored there may be accessible to courts and law-enforcement authorities of that country under its laws. By using the app you acknowledge this transfer.
Data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Our database enforces row-level security so the app can only read what is meant to be public and can only write prayer requests. Records of gifts can only be written by our server after PayPal confirms a completed payment, never by the app directly. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act, you may ask us to confirm what personal information we hold about you, correct it if it is wrong, or delete it. Write to Kajorodinitto@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Because the app has no accounts, we may be unable to locate a prayer request unless you can tell us roughly when it was submitted and what name, if any, you used. You may withdraw consent to notifications at any time by switching them off in Settings or in your device’s system settings.
This app is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us a prayer request containing personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes affecting how we handle personal information will be announced in the app.
