PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: September 2026

Trinitarian ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by Globiq Media Technologies Ltd. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information when you use the Trinitarian mobile application and related services.

By using Trinitarian, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

  • Full name and display name
  • Email address
  • Username and password (encrypted)
  • Phone number (required for pastor verification only)
  • Denomination and church information (for pastors)
  • Country and city of residence
  • Profile information and biography
  • Profile picture (optional, uploaded by the user)

1.2 Information We Collect Automatically

  • Sermon viewing and listening history
  • Live stream viewing history, including which streams you watched and when
  • Search queries within the app
  • IP address and approximate location
  • Push notification token (a device-specific identifier used to deliver notifications to you)

1.3 Camera and Microphone

Pastors who choose to broadcast a live stream grant Trinitarian access to their device's camera and microphone for the duration of the broadcast. This audio and video is transmitted in real time to viewers through our live streaming provider (see Section 10) and is not recorded or stored by Trinitarian unless explicitly stated otherwise at the time of broadcast. Listeners viewing a live stream do not have their camera or microphone accessed.

1.4 Pastor Verification Information

  • Ordination certificate and supporting documents
  • Phone number for identity verification (not displayed publicly)
  • Church name, denomination and ministry details
  • Years in ministry and ordination body
  • Personal statement of faith and ministry experience
  • Sermon cover images and thumbnails

1.5 Payment Information (Pastors Only)

If a pastor subscribes to Trinitarian Pro, payment is handled entirely by our payment processor, Paystack. Trinitarian does not receive, process or store your full card details, bank account numbers or other sensitive payment credentials. We only receive confirmation that a payment succeeded or failed, and basic billing status (such as whether a subscription is active). Listeners never make payments and this section does not apply to them.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your account
  • To verify pastor applications and ordination status
  • To provide sermon recommendations based on your preferences
  • To enable live streaming between pastors and listeners
  • To send notifications about new sermons and live streams
  • To process and respond to messages and support requests
  • To process Trinitarian Pro subscription payments for pastors, via Paystack
  • To improve the app and develop new features
  • To prevent fraud, abuse and violations of our Terms of Service
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • With pastors you follow: Your display name and profile are visible to pastors whose content you engage with
  • Public profile: Your username, display name and public activity may be visible to other users
  • Live streaming: When you broadcast or watch a live stream, your audio/video (if broadcasting) or connection information (if watching) is processed by our real-time communication provider to deliver the stream
  • Payment processing: If you are a pastor subscribing to Trinitarian Pro, your payment details are processed directly by Paystack under their own privacy and security practices
  • Service providers: We use third-party services (Railway for hosting, Resend for email, Backblaze B2 for media storage, Agora for live video/audio streaming, Expo for push notification delivery, Cloudflare for DNS and content delivery, Paystack for payment processing) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements
  • Advertising: Listeners' anonymised, aggregated usage data may be used by our advertising partners to serve ads (see Section 4)
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users

4. Advertising and Cookies

Trinitarian is free for listeners to use and is supported in part by advertising. On our website, this is served through Google AdSense. Our mobile app also displays advertising through Google AdMob.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior activity, and to measure ad performance. You can manage your ad personalisation settings at google.com/settings/ads (for the website) or in your Android device settings under Google, Ads (for the mobile app).

Trinitarian Pro subscribers (pastors) do not see advertisements.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on Railway cloud infrastructure. Media files are stored on Backblaze B2. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and are never stored in plain text.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, your personally identifying information (name, email, username, profile photo and bio) is immediately and permanently anonymised. Any remaining anonymised account data and content (such as comments or sermon history) that is retained solely for content integrity purposes will be permanently deleted within 90 days of your account deletion request. No personally identifying information will be retained beyond this period, except where required by law.

Sermon content uploaded by pastors will be retained according to the content licence agreement unless the pastor requests removal.

Live stream broadcasts are not recorded or retained by Trinitarian. Records of who watched a live stream (for viewer count purposes) are retained for the same period as other usage data described above.

Billing and subscription records for Trinitarian Pro are retained for as long as required by Paystack and applicable financial recordkeeping laws, independently of your Trinitarian account status.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your account and personal data
  • Withdraw consent for data processing at any time
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format
