We are the controller of that information. Our address is 6841 Virginia Parkway, Suite 103 Unit 435, McKinney, Texas 75071, United States. You can reach our privacy team at [email protected]. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in our Terms of Service.

Our representative in the United Kingdom, appointed under Article 27 of the UK GDPR, is [REPRESENTATIVE NAME, ADDRESS, EMAIL].
2. Who this policy covers
This policy covers members of ActsSocial, visitors to our website, and people who contact us without holding an account, including anyone who sends us a copyright notice. The Services are for adults aged 18 and over.
3. What we collect
3.1 Information you give us
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Name, phone number, email address, password credentials, profile photo | To create and secure your account, and to verify that you are a real person |
| Profile information | Display name, bio, interests, location you choose to share | To operate your profile and personalize your feed |
| Content | Posts, gratitude posts, prayer requests, comments, short videos, images, devotional and teaching content | To provide the Services |
| Role applications | Information you submit when applying for an approved role, and the publicly available information our staff review | To decide whether to approve the role |
| Consent records | Which agreement text you saw, in which language, the date and time you agreed, your IP address and browser user agent | To prove that consent was given and what it covered |
| Support messages | What you send to our support, safety, appeals, or privacy addresses | To answer you |
| Organization listings | Information submitted to create or manage a church, nonprofit, business, or group listing, including the organization name, location, denomination where applicable, links you provide, and the contact details of the person administering it | To publish and maintain the listing |
| Verification documents | Government or organizational documentation uploaded to verify an organization | To verify the organization before we approve a listing or a role |
3.2 Information that reveals religious belief
ActsSocial is a faith based service. Creating an account reveals your interest in or affiliation with the Christian faith. Information about religious belief is sensitive personal data under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, and the privacy laws of Connecticut and a growing number of other United States states. It needs your explicit, opt in consent. We ask for that consent at registration, in a checkbox that is empty by default, and we keep a record of it.
You can withdraw that consent at any time by closing your account. Because ActsSocial is a faith based service, this information cannot be separated from providing it.
We do not collect denominational information about individual members. Church listings on the Services carry a denomination, because that describes the organization rather than a person.
3.3 Information we collect automatically
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Device and connection | Device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, language setting |
| Usage | Pages and screens viewed, features used, time and date of access, referring page |
| Diagnostics | Crash reports, performance data, error logs |
| Rewards activity | Actions that earn Seeds, streak state, tier progress, gift card issue and expiry dates |
| Referrals | The referral token that records who invited you |
Our Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use and how to control them.
3.4 Information we do not collect
- Your date of birth. You attest that you are 18 or older; we do not ask for the date.
- Payment card details. No money moves through ActsSocial. Merchandise checkout is handled by Shopify on Shopify systems.
- Precise device location. We use approximate location from the information you provide or your IP address.
- Denominational data about individual members.
4. Why we use your information
We use personal information to provide and secure the Services, verify accounts, operate the feed and recommendations, deliver notifications you have asked for, run the ActsSeeds program, moderate content, respond to you, comply with law, and measure the performance of our own advertising where you have consented.
Automated systems. We use automated systems, including artificial intelligence, to moderate content, rank and organize your feed around the interests you choose, translate content, and build the search index. Section 6.9 of the Terms describes this. Where an automated system removes your content or restricts your account, you may ask a person to review that decision under Section 13 of the Community Guidelines.
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, our legal bases are: performance of our contract with you, for providing the Services; your consent, for analytics and marketing technologies, for artificial intelligence training use of creator content, and for processing that reveals religious belief; our legitimate interests, for security, fraud prevention, and improving the Services; and compliance with legal obligations, including mandatory reporting.
6. Advertising and measurement
6.1 What we do
There are no third party advertisements in your ActsSocial feed. We do advertise ActsSocial on other platforms, and we use the Meta Pixel and the Google Ads tag to measure whether those advertisements worked. Those tools are in the Marketing category, they are off until you turn them on, and turning them off means we cannot measure our own advertising.
Cloudflare Browser Insights measures page performance. It is delivered by our network provider rather than by our application code, so it is classified as strictly necessary and is not subject to the consent controls.
6.2 What this means under California law
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended, disclosing identifiers to Meta and Google so that they can measure our advertising is a "share" of personal information for cross context behavioral advertising. It is not a sale: we receive no money or other valuable consideration for it. You may opt out at any time, and we honor that opt out.
6.3 Browser privacy signals
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. Where your browser sends it, we load no non essential technologies and we treat you as having opted out of sharing. You can still change your preferences manually.
We do not respond to Do Not Track signals, because there is no common standard for interpreting them.
7. Your choices
- Your profile. Edit or remove profile information at any time in settings.
- Cookies. Change your preferences at any time through the cookie banner or the footer link.
- Notifications. Control push and email notifications in settings. Service messages continue while you hold an account.
- Artificial intelligence training. If you hold an approved role, training use of your teaching content is off unless you turn it on.
- Closing your account. Close your account at any time in settings.
8. How long we keep information
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account and profile | While your account is open, then deleted or anonymized within 90 days of closure unless law requires retention |
| Content you post | Until you delete it, subject to backups overwritten on a normal cycle |
| Published teaching content | Removed from public display within 30 days of account closure |
| Consent records | 3 years after your account closes or the consent is withdrawn, whichever is later |

9. Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to provide a copy in a portable format. Write to [email protected]. We will verify your identity before acting.
Profiling and automated decisions. You may ask whether we process your personal information for profiling, and where we do, you may ask for the result, the reasoning behind it, and the categories of data used. Where an automated system removes your content, restricts your account, or revokes a role, you may ask a person to review that decision under Section 13 of the Community Guidelines. Someone who was not involved in the original decision carries out that review.
9.2 European Union and United Kingdom
You have the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out. You may complain to your supervisory authority.
9.3 California

You can opt out using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer of every page, or by sending a Global Privacy Control signal. We do not sell personal information and we do not knowingly process the personal information of anyone under 18. You may use an authorized agent.

Write to [email protected]. You may appeal a refusal by writing to the same address.
10. International transfers
We operate from the United States and our providers are listed in Section 5. Where we transfer personal information out of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission standard contractual clauses and the United Kingdom addendum to them.
11. Children
The Services are for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have, we suspend the account immediately, terminate it within 10 business days, and delete or anonymize the information within 90 days except where law requires retention. Contact [email protected] if you believe a minor holds an account.
12. Security

13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. Where a change is material we give at least 30 days notice through the Services or by email before it takes effect, and where the change affects processing you consented to, you may withdraw that consent. The effective date above shows when this version took effect.
