Theophony Ministries (Theophony) provides the Theophony Resound app (Android, package org.theophony.resound): live radio, podcasts, videos, a blog and a way to contact us. This policy explains what information the app uses, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using the app you accept this policy.
Using the app without an account
You can listen to the radio and podcasts, watch videos, read the blog and read this policy without signing in. The app does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone, and it contains no advertising and no analytics or tracking tools.
Information we collect
Your account
If you create an account we collect your email address and a password. The password is kept only in a protected (hashed) form, so we cannot read it. Members of our team also have a role that gives them access to the admin screens.
Your choices
When you are signed in, the app can save your choices (such as theme, preferred language, favourites and alarms) with your account so they follow you to another phone.
Messages you send us
When you use Contact us we collect the name, email address, phone number, subject and message you type. We use them to read and answer your message. Your message is delivered to our team by email.
Technical information
The servers that deliver the app, audio, video and pictures receive your device's IP address and basic details of each request, as every online service does. We use this only to keep the service working and for anonymous listener statistics, such as how many people listen and from which time zones. We do not use it to identify you or to build a profile about you.
How we use information
- to create your account and keep it secure
- to save your choices
- to read and answer your messages
- to keep the app working and to prevent abuse (for example, we limit how many messages can be sent in a short time)
We do not sell your information and we do not use it for advertising.
Who receives information
We use service providers to run the app. They handle information only to provide their service to us.
- Supabase hosts the app's database and sign-in.
- Resend delivers the messages you send through Contact us to our team by email.
- YouTube (Google) plays the videos. When you watch a video, YouTube may collect information as described in the Google Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy). By using the videos in the app you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service (youtube.com/t/terms).
- Google Maps shows our location when you open the Visit page.
- The radio, podcast and picture hosts send the audio and pictures to your phone, so they see your IP address.
We may also share information when the law requires it.
Permissions on your phone
The app uses the internet. It keeps audio playing in the background and keeps your phone awake while audio plays. It may ask to show notifications, for example the playback controls while audio plays and the alarm you set. If you create an alarm, the app also asks Android for permission to ring at the exact time, and it sets your alarms again after the phone restarts. It does nothing of this unless you create an alarm. You can change these permissions at any time in your phone's settings.
How long we keep information
We keep your account information until you delete your account. We keep your messages for as long as we need them to answer you and to keep a record of your request. You can ask us to delete a message at any time.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account in the app: Account, then Delete account. This removes your account and the choices saved with it.
- Ask us to show you, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or the messages you sent, by using Contact us in the app or by writing to theophonyfm@gmail.com from the email address you used. If you no longer have the app, you can also use the page https://theophony.org/delete-account/.
- Stop notifications or background playback in your phone's settings.
Depending on where you live, the law may give you further rights over your information. Contact us and we will respond.
Children
The app is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Information sent between the app and our servers is encrypted. Access rules in the database make sure that you can see only your own account information, and only our team can read the messages sent through Contact us. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed, and the policy in the app is always the current one.
Contact us
If you have a question about this policy or your information, use Contact us in the app or write to theophonyfm@gmail.com.
