How Personal Information is Used

a) We do not collect personal information from other third-party sources, nor do we share your information with sources outside of our organization.

b) Use of Cookies: The AlivetoWorship website uses cookies to enable the efficient navigation of our site, to keep on top of how often our site is frequented, to understand the usage practices of consumers to our site, and to make the user experience of our site more inviting. Cookies are a trail of text file information left from your having accessed a site. This information is stored by your Internet browser on the hard drive of your computer. To shut off this default function, you will need to make this change in the “settings” of your computer, but, by doing so, it may inhibit you from accessing particular sections of our websites.

Furthermore, AlivetoWorship uses third-party entities, like Google Analytics, to collect information on the number of people that frequent each page of our websites, to greater understand the activity being done on the sites (and by which operating systems), and (by enabling us to see where we need to adjust inefficiencies) to help the user navigate the site easier. These companies may use cookies or web beacons. However, any information that they collect through these cookies or web beacons is not connected to us.

Data Use and Sharing

The basic functionality of the AlivetoWorship mobile applications is to share Bible reading plans, preaching calendars and worship service outlines between individuals to help in service planning and daily Bible reading among groups in a church congregation setting. The applications are set up to enable sharing between multiple devices and cannot work without this option. A user can share a Bible reading plan, for instance, with another individual from their contact list, whether through messaging or email, and, following the individual`s acceptance of this “share,” the two can begin collaborating on, or viewing, the plan that has been sent. As per the Apple Developer`s Privacy Policy, we don`t retain any of this information (email addresses, phone numbers, or first and last names) on our servers. All of the information is solely found on the sharers device as access is needed to the Apple CloudKit services, and the individual`s personal Cloud, to share with other individuals.

The AlivetoWorship website does not ask for any personal information (i.e. through passwords, credit card information, usernames, etc) from its` users, nor are there any sharing functionalities present on the site.
