Who we are
This website and the NBC Devotional app are run by the Publications Department of the Nigerian Baptist Convention ("we", "us"). This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Account details: name, email address, password (stored only as a one-way hash), and optionally phone number, birthday, church and address.
- Orders: the books you buy, delivery or pickup details, and payment status. We never see or store your card number: payments are processed by Flutterwave.
- Reading activity: which ebooks and devotionals you open, your reading streak and the devices you use, so we can enforce your licence and show your progress.
- Messages: what you send us through the Contact us page.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and the notification token of your device, used for security, fraud prevention and to send messages you asked for.
How we use it
- To deliver your orders and give you access to the books and devotionals you have paid for.
- To send order receipts, reminders you turn on, and notices about your account.
- To send SMS or push messages such as birthday wishes and news. You can opt out at any time with the stop link or in the app.
- To protect the site against abuse and to meet legal obligations.
Who we share it with
We share only what is needed with service providers acting for us: Flutterwave (payments), our SMS provider, Firebase (push notifications) and our hosting provider. We do not sell your personal information.
How long we keep it
Account details are kept while your account is open. Order records are kept as long as the law requires for accounting. When you delete your account we remove your personal details; records we must keep are kept without your name and contact details.
Your rights
You may ask to see, correct, export or delete your information. You can delete your account yourself from My account, or write to us through the Contact us page. If you are in Nigeria this includes your rights under the Nigeria Data Protection Act; if you are elsewhere, your local data protection law applies.
Children
Our services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. Parents and Sunday school teachers may buy books for children.
Cookies
We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in, remember your currency and language, and keep your cart. See our Cookie policy.
Changes
We will update this page when our practices change and show the date at the top.
