IMCS Pax Romana respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the IMCS Pax Romana web portal and mobile app.

By using the app or portal, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the service and contact us if you need help with your account.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information when you create or use an account:

• Account details such as your full name, username, phone number, email address, password, gender, student status, and campus.
• Profile settings, including whether you choose to show your email address or phone number to other members.
• Device and access details such as device type, app version, IP address, login activity, and notification tokens.
• Location coordinates if you choose to use features that depend on location or nearby member discovery.
• Content you create or share, including posts, comments, likes, chat messages, prayer items, and uploaded media.
• Communication records such as login codes, password reset messages, app notifications, and campaign messages.
• Account deletion information if you submit a deletion reason or additional details.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Create, secure, and manage user accounts.
• Provide app features such as campus updates, member connection, chat, posts, notifications, gallery, hymns, Bible, readings, videos, streams, and prayers.
• Send important service messages, login verification codes, password reset messages, announcements, and notifications.
• Improve reliability, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and maintain the safety of the community.
• Respond to account, support, privacy, and deletion requests.
• Comply with legal, security, and administrative obligations.

3. Visibility and Sharing

Some information may be visible to other users depending on the feature and your choices. For example, your name, campus, gender, student status, public posts, comments, and profile photo may be shown inside the app. Your email address and phone number are only shown to other members when the related visibility settings are enabled.

Private chat messages are intended for the sender and recipient. Administrators or technical service providers may access data only when needed to operate, moderate, secure, or support the service.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted service providers to help deliver the app, including hosting, email, SMS, push notifications, media storage, analytics, and security services. These providers are expected to handle information only as needed to provide their services to us.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so you should keep your login details private and notify us if you believe your account has been compromised.

6. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce our terms, and comply with legal obligations. Some content may remain in backups or logs for a limited period after deletion.

7. Your Choices and Rights

You may request to:

• Review or update your account information.
• Change profile visibility settings where available.
• Stop using optional features such as location-based discovery.
• Request account deletion or ask questions about how your information is handled.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

8. Children's Privacy

The service is intended for members and users who are old enough to participate in IMCS Pax Romana activities and manage an account responsibly. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new last updated date. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
