Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Account: your name, email and password (stored only as a scrambled hash, so we cannot read it). Optionally your phone number, Youth Tag, date and place of birth, gender, church or community, profile photo and cover.
• What you write: prayer requests (you can post anonymously), posts, comments, squad and mentoring chat messages, reflection journal entries, verse notes and saved verses.
• Your activity: Bible reading, streak, XP and tier, event registrations and passes.
• Preneur Hub: if you offer services, your headline, description, skills, city, church, rate, portfolio link and WhatsApp number, plus messages in Hub chats.
• Pastoral care: if you ask for care, what you choose and write in the request and in the conversation with a counselor.
• Technical data: our servers record your IP address, device type and requests, for security and to keep the service running. If you turn on push notifications, a device identifier is used to deliver them.

How we use it

• To run the app: sign you in, show your profile and posts the way you chose, and connect you with squads, mentors and creators.
• To keep the community safe: handle reports, moderate content and protect against abuse.
• To send you notifications about replies, prayers, mentoring, gatherings and announcements. Notifications never contain the text of private messages.
• To email you about your account, such as the Heavens Code that lets you reset a forgotten password.
• To improve Y4J and to contact you about your account.

We do not sell your data, and there are no ads in Y4J.

Who can see what

• Only you: your reflection journal, verse notes and saved verses.
• The community: your name, photo, posts, comments and prayer requests. A prayer posted anonymously hides your name from other members (our admins can still see who wrote it, to keep the community safe).
• Chats: only the people in the chat. If someone reports a chat, a reviewer (an admin or a trained leader) may read it, and both people are told.
• Pastoral care: only the counselors and pastoral team handling your case.
• Preneur Hub: your WhatsApp number stays hidden until you have replied 5 times in a chat with that person.
• Admins can see account and community data as needed to run and protect the service.

Who we share it with

• Hosting and infrastructure providers that run our servers and database.
• An email provider that delivers our emails to you (for example the Heavens Code).
• A push notification service (OneSignal), if and when you enable push notifications. It receives a device identifier and the short notification text, never private message text.
• A Bible text provider: we request Scripture text and send no personal data.
• Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts.
• Authorities, if the law requires us to.

We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

How long we keep it, and deleting your account

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time:

• In the app: You, then Delete account.
• On the web: the Delete account page of this website, for people who no longer have the app.

Deleting removes your profile, posts, comments, prayers, journal, notes, chats, Hub profile and chats, pastoral care requests, event passes and profile photos, straight away. Announcements you sent stay, without your name. Copies inside backups disappear as backups are replaced in their normal cycle. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security.

Your choices and rights

You can change your profile in the app, choose to post prayers anonymously, block people, report content, and delete your account. You can also ask us for a copy of your data or ask us to correct it, by contacting us (see the end of this page). Under Indonesian law (Personal Data Protection Law, UU No. 27 of 2022) you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, and we will answer your request promptly.

Age

Y4J is for people aged 13 and older. If you are under 18, please use Y4J with the knowledge of a parent or guardian. Be careful about the personal information you share, especially in chats and in the Preneur Hub.

Security

We protect your data with encrypted connections, hashed passwords, limits on sign-in attempts and restricted access for our team. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and tell us if you think something is wrong.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we update the date at the top of the page. If the change is important, we will also tell you in the app.
