Privacy Policy

Wesleyan Barbados provides public church information, Kingdom Connect ministry tools, and private administrative tools for authorized district and local church personnel. Public visitors can generally use the website without creating an account.

For authorized administrators, we process account information such as an email address, Firebase user identifier, authentication records, and the church or district role associated with the account. We also process content that administrators submit, including church information, notices, media, and statistical reports.

Kingdom Connect accepts account registrations, connection cards, prayer requests, testimonies, and learning progress. A connection card includes your chosen congregation, contact details, interests, any requested visit or prayer, and your permission for the evangelism team to contact you. Event or ministry context may accompany a card when you enter through those pages.

Private follow-up information is available only to authorized evangelism personnel responsible for your record and authorized district administrators. Selecting a congregation does not grant access to church records. Church administration and evangelism administration are separate responsibilities.

Prayer requests and testimonies are private by default. If you choose public sharing, publication still requires moderation. Published text and the displayed name can be read by anyone. Do not include another person’s private information without their permission; contact the district if published content needs to be removed.

Connecting a learning account to a follow-up record requires a personal invitation, verified email ownership, and your explicit agreement to share learning progress. You can stop sharing from My journey. Disconnecting stops this account linkage; it does not automatically delete the historical follow-up record. Private pastoral notes are not shown in the member journey view.

To request access, correction, withdrawal of contact consent, removal of public content, or deletion of applicable records, contact the district using the details below. Retention depends on the purpose of the record and applicable obligations; contact us to discuss your individual request. This service is not an emergency response service.

The district statistics integration connects one authorized, district-controlled Google account. With that account’s permission, the application accesses Google Sheets that contain Wesleyan Barbados statistical reports.

The application reads values and formulas from assigned statistical workbooks so authorized church administrators can view the correct reporting year and quarter. It writes only values that an authorized administrator deliberately changes. Formula-backed cells are displayed as read-only and are not modified by the application.

We receive the connected Google account’s email address solely to confirm that the correct district-controlled account authorized the integration. We do not access Google contacts, Gmail, calendars, photos, or unrelated Drive files.

Information is used to operate the website, authenticate administrators, maintain church and district records, compile ministry statistics, prevent unauthorized changes, provide support, and protect the integrity of the service.

Google user data is used only to provide the statistical reporting functionality described above. It is not used for advertising, profiling, credit decisions, or any purpose unrelated to Wesleyan Barbados administration.

Application records are stored using service providers including Google Firebase and Vercel. Google OAuth refresh tokens are encrypted before being stored and are never sent to church administrators’ browsers. Statistical changes are recorded in an audit log with the acting administrator, time, reporting period, and fields changed.

Draft statistical entries may be stored locally in the administrator’s browser until they are submitted or cleared. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

We do not sell personal information or Google user data. Information is shared only with authorized Wesleyan Barbados personnel, service providers that process it on our behalf, or when required to comply with law, protect rights and safety, or investigate misuse.

Wesleyan Barbados’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Administrative and statistical records are retained for as long as needed for church reporting, historical records, legal obligations, security, and continuity of district operations. Local browser drafts remain until submitted, cleared, or removed through browser storage controls.

The district may disconnect the Google integration and delete its stored OAuth credential. The connected account can also revoke access at any time from its Google Account permissions. Authorized users may request correction or deletion of applicable personal information by contacting us.

Questions about this policy, privacy requests, or the Google Sheets integration can be sent to whc.districttech.bds@gmail.com or directed to the Wesleyan Holiness Church Barbados District office at “Wickham House,” Whitepark Road, St. Michael, Barbados, telephone (246) 429-3692 or (246) 426-4888.
