Children's Privacy

Our App is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

For users between the ages of 13 and 18, we recommend that a parent or guardian review this Privacy Policy with them before using the App. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information without their consent should contact us immediately at support@anabaptistconnect.com.

If your church uses the App for ministry programs involving minors, church administrators are responsible for obtaining appropriate parental consent in accordance with applicable laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
