This policy explains what personal data Word of God Bible College ("the college", "we", "us") collects through the Word Of God mobile app (Android package com.harshitdubey456.wordofgod) and the website wordofgodbiblecollege.com, why we collect it, who can see it and how you can correct or delete it.

By creating an account or using the app or website you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use them.

1. Who we are

Email: info@wordofgodbiblecollege.com · Phone: +91 80086 14147

We decide how your personal data is used (we are the "Data Fiduciary" under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023).

2. Data we collect

We only collect what you give us or what is needed for a feature you use:

  • Account: name, mobile number, email address, password (stored only in scrambled form), gender, date of birth and an optional profile photo.
  • Course admission: the details on the admission form, such as parents' names, address and PIN code, Aadhaar number and a photo of your Aadhaar card, your signature, photo, educational qualification, occupation, marital status, nationality, mother tongue, category, blood group, an identification mark and a reference person's name, designation and mobile number.
  • Payments: course fees and donations are paid directly by UPI or bank transfer, outside the app. We store the screenshot or reference number of the payment that you upload, the amount and the date, and the receipts we issue. We never see or store your UPI PIN, card or bank login details.
  • Donations: name, mobile number, email address, address, amount and transaction reference.
  • Studies: your enrolments, roll and registration numbers, exam answers and results, marksheets and certificates.
  • Faculty applications: qualification, experience, subjects, languages, CV and photo, and the appointment letter and certificates we issue.
  • Certificate of Baptism requests: the details on the request form (such as baptism date, place, church, minister and witnesses) and your photo.
  • Things you post: group chat messages, including photos, documents and voice messages; prayer requests; and personal notes. Your notes are private to you.
  • Enquiries: what you send through the contact, enquiry and account deletion forms.
  • Technical data: our server records your IP address, the type of browser or device and the time of each request. We use these records only for security and to fix problems.

We do not collect your location, contacts or call logs. We do not show advertising, and we do not use advertising or analytics trackers.

3. Phone permissions

The app asks for a permission only when you use the feature that needs it. You can refuse, or withdraw a permission later in your phone's settings.

  • Camera: to take a profile photo or a photo for the chat, admission and baptism forms.
  • Microphone: to record voice messages in the group chat.
  • Photos and files: to choose a photo, a payment screenshot, a CV or a document to upload.

The app also stores a few settings on your phone: your login, theme, which notifications you have seen, and your Bible reader highlights, bookmarks and notes. These stay on your device and are removed when you log out or uninstall the app.

4. How we use your data

  • To create and run your account and let you sign in.
  • To process admissions, verify payments, issue receipts, hold exams and issue marksheets and certificates.
  • To run the group chat, prayer requests, notes, faculty applications and baptism certificates.
  • To send you notices about your studies, password reset codes and replies to your enquiries.
  • To keep the service secure and prevent misuse.
  • To meet legal and accounting requirements.

We process your data on the basis of your consent, which you give when you create an account or submit a form. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting your account (section 8). Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before.

5. Who can see your data

  • College staff and teachers who need it for admissions, payments, exams, certificates and support.
  • Other students and faculty in the group chat see your name and the messages, photos, documents and voice messages you send there.
  • Service providers who run parts of the service for us: our web hosting provider, which stores the data, and our email provider, which delivers emails such as password reset codes. They may use the data only to provide their service to us.
  • Google: videos in the app and website are played through YouTube, and some PDF documents are shown through the Google Docs viewer. When you use these, Google receives the video or document link and technical data from your device under the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Authorities, when the law requires us to share data.

We never sell or rent your personal data.

6. How long we keep it

  • We keep your data for as long as your account exists.
  • When you delete your account, we delete your data straight away, as described on the Delete Account page.
  • Payment receipts and donation records are kept for up to 8 years without your name or contact details, because accounting and tax laws require us to keep them.
  • Server security records are kept for up to 90 days.

7. Security

The app and website use an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Passwords are stored only in scrambled form. Access to personal data is limited to authorised college staff. No system is completely secure. If a breach affects your data, we will inform you and the authorities as the law requires.
