Privacy Policy

We care about data privacy and security which is why we implore you to carefully read to understand how Trinity, owned and operated by Trinity Baptist Texarkana (“Trinity”, “we”), uses personal information. By accessing or using our mobile app, website, or any other related site, applications, services and goods, or any other website or App operated by Trinity that links to this Policy (each, the “webApp”), you acknowledge that you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy posted on the webApp.

Please be advised the website is governed by the laws of Texarkana, Arkansas, United States . If you access the app from any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in Texarkana, Arkansas, then through your continued use of the webApp, you are transferring your data to Texarkana, Arkansas, and you expressly consent to have your data transferred to and processed therein.

Trinity complies with all applicable laws regarding your privacy. Individuals from the European Union (“EU”) may only use our Services after providing your freely given, informed consent for Trinity to collect, transfer, store, and share your Personal Data, as that term is defined in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. EU residents may grant that consent directly to Trinity, or to your parent or school administrator, if your parent or school offers Trinity to you for your advancement.

In this Policy, “Personal Information” means any information about an identifiable individual or information that can be used to identify an individual, and includes “Personal Data”.

This Policy may change from time to time; any changes we make to this Policy will be posted on the app, we will also take any other steps, to the extent required by applicable law, including notifying you about material changes. Changes to this policy are effective as of the stated “Last Updated” date. We recommend that you check the Policy periodically for any updates or changes.

You are responsible for any Content you provide in connection with the Services. We cannot control the actions of anyone with whom you or any other Trinity users may choose to share information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that Content you or any user posts on the Services will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. Although we may allow our users to set privacy options that limit access to certain parts of the Services, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and that we are not responsible for circumvention of any security measures contained on the Services. Trinity does not encourage you to make any personally identifiable information (Personal Information) public other than what is necessary for you to use our Services. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of Content may remain viewable in cached pages, archives and storage backups or if other users have copied or stored your Content. We will make efforts to remove the Content under our control that is not part of another user’s account.

You may request removal of Personal Information (as described below) that you have provided to us by contacting us. We will remove your Personal Information from our database on your request, but this information may remain in our server logs as part of our standard backup procedures, unless prohibited by contract or law. A verified Organization administrator (Verified Administrator) or Organizer may be able to upload and provide information about you to your account; if you would like to remove or amend that information, you may have to contact and work directly with that Verified Administrator or Organizer.

Any improper collection or misuse of Content or other information accessible on the Services is a violation of Trinity’s Terms of Service and should be reported.

What does this privacy policy cover?

This Privacy Policy explains how Trinity collects, uses, and discloses information from you and other users who access or use the Services, including our treatment of Personal Information. Also, this Privacy Policy covers Trinity’s treatment of any Personal Information that our partners share with us, or that you provide to Trinity through another third party webApp or service while using the Services. This policy does not apply to webApp, services or practices of companies that we do not own or control, even if they help us operate our Services. Third party providers who do help us operate our Services must adhere to privacy and security obligations in a manner consistent with Trinity’s policies and practices.

Children

This WebApp is offered and available to users who are at least 18 years of age or older and of legal age to form a binding contract. Minors under 18 years of age, are only permitted to use the WebApp through an account owned by a parent or legal guardian with their appropriate permissions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents and guardians should at all times supervise their children’s activities. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that personal information. You can reach out to us to lodge complaints in respect of receiving information from children.

We have included some information below related to the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”). COPPA which is a promulgation of the United States also applicable in Canada requires that online service providers obtain parental consent or provide notice before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13 (“under-13 users”). Pursuant to COPPA, we may collect an under-13 user’s name (first name and last initial), date of birth, email address and/or telephone number in order to operate and provide the Services, and we may collect the under-13 user’s parent’s (or legal guardian’s) email address in order to provide notice to the child’s parent or guardian that we may contact the under-13 user for the purpose of allowing access to and use of the Services. If Trinity does not receive the parent’s email address within a reasonable time period, the under-13 user will not be able to receive any messages and his/her Personal Information will be deleted. If we learn we have collected Personal Information from an under-13 user other than pursuant to the above, or if we learn that an under-13 user has provided us Personal Information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible after we have identified it. If you believe that an under-13 user may have provided us Personal Information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us.

While COPPA requires Trinity to follow these procedures for under-13 users in the United States, Trinity employs the same process to obtain consent for users under 13 years old for users in Canada.

What information does Trinity display or collect?

When you use the Services, you may set up your personal profile, perform searches and queries, give donations, join classes and transmit information through various channels as permitted by the functionality of the Services. Trinity will not display your personal contact information to other users without your permission. The information we gather from users enables us to attempt to verify user identity, allows our users to set up a user account and profile through the Services, and helps us personalise and improve our Services. We retain this information to provide the Services to you and our other users and to provide a useful user experience. When you update your information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time in case you need to need to go back to that version.

Information you provide to us:

We receive and store any information you knowingly enter on the Services, whether via computer, mobile phone, other wireless device, or that you provide to us in any other way. With your express consent, you may be able to upload, import or sync contact information from your mobile device (for example, from your address book) to Trinity. This information may include Personal Information such as your name, phone numbers, email addresses, photographs, (which may be used to validate your account or to provide you with notifications via the Services (“Notifications”), or any other information necessary for us to provide our Services. For under-13 users, we collect a name (first name and last initial), date of birth, email address and/or telephone number, and that under-13 user’s parent’s email address to provide notice to the parent regarding the Services. You may choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the Personal Information we receive about you to provide you with the Services and also for purposes such as:

• attempting to authenticate your identity,
• responding to your requests for certain information,
• customising the features that we make available to you,
• suggesting relevant services or products for you to use,
• improving the Services and internal operations (including troubleshooting, testing, and analysing usage),
• communicating with you about new features
• and, most importantly, protecting our users, sending emergency messages we are directed to send to you, and working towards making sure our Services are safer and more secure.

You may modify or remove your Personal Information at any time by logging into your account and accessing features to edit your classes, groups, and/or account information.

Information collected automatically:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you use the Services. Trinity automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including Trinity’s cookie information, the page you requested, and other usage information such as your activity on the Services, the numbers and frequency of visitors to our webApp and its components (similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show). None of this information constitutes Personal Information. Certain information that is collected automatically, such as device ID, IP address and phone number, and browsing information that is associated with a user will be treated as Personal Information.

We also may provide to our partners aggregate information derived from automatically collected information about how our users, collectively, use our webApp. We may share this type of non-personally identifiable, aggregated statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services as well as Trinity.

Mobile application:

When users use our mobile application, we automatically collect the Internet Protocol (IP) address, device ID, device type, and what operating system (OS) the user is running.

We collect users’ IP addresses whenever they use our mobile application, which provides us with a coarse approximation of the user’s location at the city level.

We also may, with your express consent, request more specific location information in order to provide you with more relevant information (such as nearby classes or relevant groups that you may subscribe to). We will not store or track your device location on an ongoing basis or without your permission. We may also collect location-based information from users as part of providing the Services and in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations for the user’s jurisdiction.

While Trinity collects and temporarily stores phone numbers of first-time users under 13 years of age, we will delete the information collected if parental consent is not obtained. If the underage user has signed up for the Services through SMS and then downloaded Trinity’s mobile application, Trinity will have and may use the underage user’s phone number:

• to merge the under-13 user’s accounts,
• as a back-up method of notification. 

Email and text message communications:

If you provide us your email address or phone number, Trinity may send you administrative messages (such as updates, notifications, newsletters, and other news) relating to the Services or to respond to communications from you. By maintaining a Trinity account and/or not opting out of receiving information from Trinity, you acknowledge and agree that you may receive e-mail or SMS text messages on your phone or mobile device from other Trinity users, from Trinity and/or its agents (as described below) and other individuals or companies if you choose to use services or products that they offer. Receiving these messages may cause you to incur usage charges or other fees or costs in accordance with your wireless or data service plan. Any and all such charges, fees, or costs are your sole responsibility. You should consult with your wireless carrier to determine what rates, charges, fees, or costs may apply. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us if your computer supports this type of program. Communications of this type are also sent to under-13 users and the parental consent to use this service also covers these messages. If you no longer wish to receive administrative email messages from Trinity, you may opt-out by following the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each message or by contacting us. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are responsible for reviewing the legal notices for changes.

If you are located in Canada, you may opt out of receiving marketing messages (including text messages and emails); however, you may still receive text message and email communications that are necessary for the Services or otherwise exempt from anti-spam laws.

Push notifications:

If you no longer wish to receive such communications, you may turn them off at the device level. If you are a parent of an under-13 user, you always have the choice to no longer allow your child to receive such communications by contacting us. Any user may contact us at if such user no longer wishes to receive communications from the Services.

Trinity reserves the right (but does not have the obligation) to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if we receive claims or allegations from individuals, companies or authorities relating to that Content or if Trinity is concerned that you may have breached the foregoing restrictions), or for no reason at all. You, not Trinity, remain solely responsible for all Contents that you upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise provide using, or in connection with, the Services, and you warrant that you possess all rights necessary to provide such contents to Trinity and to grant Trinity the rights to use such information as provided herein.

What about cookies, pixels, and local storage?

Cookies are small files that webApps place on your computer as you browse the web. Like many webApps, Trinity uses cookies to discover how people are using our Services and to make them work better.

A pixel is a small amount of code on a web page or in an email notification. As many services do, we (or our agents) may use pixels to learn whether you’ve interacted with certain web or email content on our Services. This helps us measure and improve our Services and personalise your experience on Trinity.

Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a webwebApp or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. We use local storage to customise what we show you based on your past interactions with Trinity.

Trinity uses these technologies to deliver, measure, and improve our Services in various ways. These uses generally fall into one of the following categories:

Authentication and security

• To log you into Trinity.
• To protect your security.
• To help us detect and fight spam, abuse, and other activities that violate Trinity’s policies.

For example, these technologies help authenticate your access to Trinity and prevent unauthorised parties from accessing your account.

Preferences

To remember information about your browser and your preferences.

For example, cookies may help us remember your preferred language or country that you are in. We can then provide you with Trinity’s contents in your preferred language without having to ask you each time you visit Trinity. We can also customise content based on your country, such as disabling SMS, or to withhold certain content based on applicable local laws.

Analytics and research

To help us improve and understand how people use our Services.

For example, cookies help us test different versions of our services to see which particular features or content users prefer. We might also optimise and improve your experience on Trinity by using cookies to see how you interact with our services, such as when and how often you use them and what links you click on. We may use Google Analytics to assist us with this.

Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because you will not be able to log in or use many of the Services’ features without cookies enabled. Note that the use of cookies by anyone other than Trinity is not covered by our privacy policy. We do not have access or control over those cookies.

Mobile analytics

We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality and improve the performance of our mobile software on your phone. This software may collect, store and use information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. This software may share information it collects with other third parties (1) as part of providing the analytics services; (2) with integrations that advance religious teaching, learning or achievement, or parent or guardian participation in their child’s learning or activities; and, (3) to comply with applicable laws.

Will Trinity share any of the Personal Information it receives?

Trinity relies on its users to provide accurate Personal Information in order to provide our Services. We try our best to protect that information and make sure that we are responsible in handling, disclosing, and retaining your data. We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. If other Trinity users, other individuals or companies whose products you choose to use, have access to your Personal Information (for example, your messaging content), they may use and share that information in ways that Trinity cannot, and does not, control. Trinity shares your Personal Information in personally identifiable form as described below. Agents and third party service providers Advertising will be allowed and permitted on the Services.

Business transfers

If Trinity (or substantially all of its assets) is acquired by another company, user information may be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by that company. You acknowledge that such a transfer may occur, and that any acquirer of Trinity may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy. You will be notified via email or some other means of any change in ownership or uses of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information (including the right to delete your information). If Trinity goes out of business without a successor, Trinity would delete your information.

Protection of Trinity and others

We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to

• comply with the law or national security request (for example, responding to a subpoena or other legal process);
• enforce or apply our upcoming terms of service and other agreements; or
• protect the rights, property, or safety of Trinity, our employees, our users, or others. This includes, without limitation, exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection or responding to government request

We also may be required to disclose an individual’s Personal Information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

With your consent

You will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with agents or companies other than Trinity and you will be given the option to prevent the sharing of this information unless Trinity determines that not disclosing this to you prior to your information being shared is necessary to comply with applicable laws or legal processes or we are prohibited by law or legal processes from informing you in advance.

Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to maintain the security of the WebApp, our services and personal information and in preventing unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or damage to it through industry standard technologies and internal procedures. In addition, we contractually ensure that any third party processing your personal information equally provides for confidentiality and integrity of your data in a secure way. However, the transmission of data via the internet is not completely secure, and although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the WebApp. Once we have received your data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access. Users who have registered to the app agree to keep their password in strict confidence and not disclose such password to any third party. Further information about our data security practices can be provided on request.

Unauthorised entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. If Trinity knows or becomes aware of a security breach of its users’ personally identifiable information, Trinity will notify affected users as required by applicable laws and may post a notice on the Services as required by applicable law(s). For additional information about the security measures we use in connection with the Services, please contact us.

The Services contain links to other webApps or services. Trinity is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on other webApps. When linking to another webApp you should read the privacy policy stated on that webApp. This Privacy Policy only governs information collected on the Services. 

Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties:

You may be able to access certain third party products through Trinity’s Services to share content to or from another webwebApp or app. These are not Trinity products; they are another company’s and we do not control their privacy and security practices so only you can decide whether to connect your Trinity account with another company’s services.

The third party products you choose to use on Trinity may need to collect and use your Personal Information in order to provide their services to you; in order to use any products or services offered by anyone other than Trinity, you must review and agree to their specific terms and privacy policies.

What information can I access and modify?

As a Trinity account holder, you have access to view and update the following information at your discretion:

• information in your user account (such as your email address),
• Participant names,
• user preferences, and
• content in your account (note that once provided, you may not be able to edit or remove certain types of content, such as messages)

This list may change as the Services change.

You also have the right to request access to the Personal Information we hold about you in order to verify the Personal Information we have collected in respect of you and to have a general account of our uses of that Personal Information. Upon receipt of your written request to our Privacy Team (contact information below), Trinity will provide you with a copy of your Personal Information although in certain limited circumstances, we may not be able to make all relevant Personal Information available to you such as where that information also pertains to another individual or as otherwise required or permitted by law. In such circumstances, we will provide reasons for the denial to you upon request. We will endeavour to deal with all requests for access and modifications in a timely manner.

How do I delete my account?

You can always opt not to disclose information, even though it may be needed to take advantage of certain Trinity features.

You are able to add or update certain information on pages, such as those listed in the “What Information Can I Access” section above. When you update information, however, we often maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. Certain types of communication you send to other users cannot be removed, such as message content.

You may request deletion of your Trinity account by accessing your account online or contacting us. Please note that certain information may remain in our records, server logs and archives after deletion of your account. Trinity retains this information for purposes such as diagnosing problems with the service and for auditing legal investigations, but reserves the right to delete this information in accordance with its standard business practices in effect from time to time. Further, information and other content you have provided may remain visible elsewhere to the extent such content was copied or stored by other users.

If yours or your child’s Personal Information changes, or you no longer desire to use our Services, or you would like to rescind permission for Trinity to further contact your child, you may review, correct, update, delete inaccuracies, request deletion of your child’s information, or amend it by logging into your account and making those changes or contacting us. We will respond to your request as quickly as possible.

We will retain your or your child’s information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. If you wish to cancel your or your child’s account or request that we no longer use your information to provide Services, contact us. Note we will retain and use information, for example, to comply with our audit and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email (using the e-mail address specified in your account) or some other means prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

If we make material changes to the types of Personal Information we collect or how we use Personal Information collected from under-13 users we will notify parents by email in order to obtain verifiable parental consent for the new uses of the child’s Personal Information.
