St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Maninagar ("the Church") operates this mobile application ("the App") to provide church-related information, services, announcements, daily readings, documents, and other content to users.
The App was developed and may be technically maintained by an independent developer ("the Developer") acting as a technical service provider for the Church.
The Developer provides technical development, maintenance, hosting, and operational support for the App as a service provider to the Church. The Developer does not select, create, verify, or approve content submitted or published by the Church or its authorized administrators, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the App, why it may be processed, and how third-party services used by the App may handle information.
We do not directly request or intentionally collect personal information from regular users of the app.
The app does not require regular users to create an account or provide information such as their name, address, phone number, or email address in order to use the main features of the app.
However, certain third-party SDKs, services, and infrastructure used by the app may automatically process limited technical information when the app is used. Depending on the service and how it is configured, this information may include:
This information may be processed automatically by third-party service providers to provide requested functionality, deliver notifications, maintain security, diagnose technical problems, and ensure service reliability.
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
We do not intentionally use technical information processed through these services to personally identify regular users or to track users across unrelated services.
The app is intended to provide information and services related to St. Joseph's Catholic Church, including:
This content is generally publicly available church information and does not require users to provide personal information.
The app uses OneSignal to deliver push notifications relating to church announcements, events, updates, and important information.
When push notifications are enabled, OneSignal and its related services may process information necessary to register the device and deliver notifications. This may include:
This information is used for purposes such as delivering notifications, maintaining notification functionality, preventing abuse, and improving service reliability.
Users can disable push notifications at any time through their device settings.
For more information about how OneSignal handles information, please review the OneSignal Privacy Policy .
The app may display the church's address, maps, and location-related information to help users find the church.
The app does not intentionally collect, store, or track the user's live or precise location.
If a user chooses to open Google Maps or another navigation service for directions, that external service may process location and device information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
The app may provide PDF documents and other church-related documents.
Some documents may be displayed using embedded document-viewing functionality or third-party services. When such services are used, the relevant provider may process technical information, such as IP address or device information, as necessary to load and display the requested document.
The church does not use document-viewing functionality to intentionally collect personal information from regular users.
The app includes a restricted administrator area intended only for authorized church administrators.
Administrator authentication, backend services, database functionality, and applicable security controls may be provided through Supabase.
Regular users:
Information associated with authorized administrators may be processed as necessary to provide authentication and administrative functionality.

These actions are initiated by the user.
When a user chooses to use an external application or service, that service may process information according to its own privacy policy and terms. The church does not control the privacy practices of external applications.
The app may use third-party services, SDKs, libraries, and infrastructure providers to provide functionality, security, hosting, authentication, notifications, document viewing, maps, and other features.
These services may process limited technical information automatically when their functionality is used.
Third-party services used by the app may include:
Third-party providers may process information such as:
Such processing is performed by the respective third-party providers under their own privacy policies and terms.
We do not sell user information to these providers.
Where technically and operationally possible, we configure third-party services to minimize the amount of information processed.
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled through the app and its associated services.
However, no electronic transmission, storage system, application, or third-party service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Administrator access and backend security are managed using appropriate authentication and database security controls provided by the services used by the app.
The church does not intentionally maintain a database of personal information belonging to regular app users.
Technical information processed by third-party services may be retained by those providers for periods determined by their respective policies, legitimate operational requirements, security requirements, or applicable laws.
Information relating to administrator accounts may be retained as necessary for authentication, security, and operation of the administrative system.
The app is intended to provide general church information and does not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children.
Because certain third-party services and SDKs may automatically process technical information when the app is used, parents or guardians who have concerns about information processed by a particular provider should review that provider's privacy policy.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information directly to us, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
The app does not intentionally use personal information collected by the church for targeted advertising.
If advertising or an advertising-related SDK is introduced into the app in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated as appropriate before or when such functionality is introduced.
The church does not intentionally use the app to track users across unrelated websites or applications.
Some third-party services may automatically process technical information, such as IP addresses, device identifiers, or diagnostic information, as part of providing their services. Such processing is controlled by the respective third-party provider and is subject to its privacy policy and terms.
Third-party services used by the app operate independently and may have their own privacy policies governing how information is processed.
Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of the relevant providers.
The app may allow authorized church administrators to upload, publish, edit, or manage content such as announcements, photographs, videos, documents, PDFs, audio, text, and other media.
Authorized administrators are solely responsible for ensuring that any content they upload or publish through the app is lawful and does not infringe the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person or organization.
Before uploading or publishing any third-party material, the administrator is responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions, licenses, consents, or other legal rights required to use and distribute that material.
The developer, technical service provider, and app publisher do not provide or grant administrators with any license or permission to use third-party copyrighted material merely because the app provides functionality for uploading or publishing content.
If an administrator uploads or publishes content without the necessary authorization, permission, or license, the administrator or the party responsible for submitting that content is responsible for that content and any resulting claims, complaints, damages, or legal consequences, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The developer does not review, verify, or guarantee that every piece of content submitted by an administrator is properly licensed or authorized. Providing the technical functionality to upload, store, display, or publish content does not mean that the developer endorses, owns, or licenses that content.
If you believe that content published through the app infringes your copyright or other rights, you may contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy. We may review the complaint and, where appropriate, remove, restrict, or disable access to the reported content.
All third-party content remains the property of its respective copyright owner or rights holder. The app and its developer do not claim ownership of content submitted by authorized administrators unless expressly stated otherwise.
Administrators must not upload, publish, or distribute copyrighted material unless they own the material or have obtained the appropriate rights or permission to use it.
By submitting content through the administrator panel, the administrator represents that they have the necessary rights, permissions, and authority to submit and publish that content.
The administrator also agrees not to knowingly submit content that violates applicable law or the rights of another person or organization.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the app, third-party services, SDKs, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of the app, please contact us.
