1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Assemblies of Yahweh (“AOY,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you (“User”) use the Assemblies of Yahweh mobile application (the “Service”).
AOY provides this Service at no cost and intends it to be used as is. By using the Service, user agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Any personal information collected is used solely to provide and/or improve the Service. We do not sell or rent personal information and do not share it except as described in section 3 of this policy.

2. Information Collection and Use
To provide and improve the Service, we collect only the minimum information necessary to support app functionality, security, and ministry planning.
Account Information
The assembliesofyahweh.com and the Service uses the same login credentials. Users create accounts via the assembliesofyahweh.com website. After a user is assigned a designated role, the Services uses the credential to authenticate users and provide role-based functionalities. When a user chooses to sign in to the Service:
- User email address and password are processed directly by Auth0, our third-party identity provider.
- AOY does not store, process, or have access to user’s password.
- After authentication, the Service stores a unique user identifier for role-based content.
Authentication data is handled in accordance with Auth0’s privacy and security policies.
