1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Account information: Name, email address, and information received when you sign in with Google
• Listing information: Business name, description, photos, location, service area, and the contact methods you choose to add
• Verification information: Your Bible-question results and, where applicable, information submitted for manual review
• Billing information: Subscription status, payment records, and identifiers needed to manage payments through Stripe
• Usage information: Listing views, contact clicks, and registration-step counts used to operate and improve the service

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your business listing
• Process subscription payments
• Check eligibility through Bible-question verification and protect access to friends-only details
• Communicate with you about your account and services
• Improve and maintain the Platform

3. Information Sharing

Listing visibility: Business details you publish may appear in the directory and in links shared with others. When a listing uses friends-only mode, visitors must complete verification before seeing its protected contact details. Owners can change that setting; contact details on a listing without friends-only mode may be visible to visitors.

Service providers: We use providers such as Google for sign-in, Stripe for payments, Resend for service email, and Cloudinary for uploaded images. They receive information needed to provide those services. Account and verification records are not part of your public listing.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Update or correct your information
• Request deletion from account settings; some transaction or security records may need to be retained
• Contact us about communications or privacy questions

6. Cookies

We use cookies for sign-in, verification, security, and preferences. If you choose to save an unfinished business listing, its basic name, category, and location are stored on your device for up to seven days. Contact details, Bible answers, and terms acceptance are not saved in that draft. We also count registration steps to understand where the process can be improved.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Platform is not intended for children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page.
