Effective Date: February 11, 2026

Introduction

Church Leadership Resources ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app collects, how it is used, and your choices regarding your data.

Summary: The Church Leadership Resources app does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information. All data is stored locally on your device and never leaves it.

In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The app offers an optional premium subscription (CLR Premium) at $2.99/month, processed entirely through Apple's App Store. Premium unlocks: sepia and dark reading themes, custom font sizes, adjustable line spacing, favorites and bookmarks, reading progress, chapter navigation, search history, weekly devotions, and support for the ministry. We do not collect, process, or store any payment information. All billing, subscription management, and transaction verification are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy.

The app verifies your subscription status using Apple's StoreKit framework, which checks entitlements locally on your device using cryptographically signed transaction data from Apple. No account creation is required to use the app or purchase a subscription.

Third-Party Services

The app uses one third-party service:

  • Google Drive — Video lessons are streamed directly from Google Drive. When you choose to watch a video, your device connects to Google's servers to download and play the video content. No videos auto-play; playback only occurs when you initiate it. Google's data practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

No other third-party services, SDKs, or frameworks that collect data are used in the app.

Children's Privacy

The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the app does not collect any personal information from any user, no special provisions are necessary.

Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user data with third parties. Since the app does not collect personal data, there is no data to share.

Data Security

All data stored by the app resides locally on your device and is protected by your device's built-in security features (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, device encryption). The app does not transmit data to external servers.

Your Choices

  • Clear reading history: More > Settings > Data > Clear Recent History
  • Delete all app data: Delete the app from your device. All locally stored data is permanently removed.
  • Manage subscriptions: iPhone Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions
  • Limit Google Drive data: Avoid playing video lessons if you do not wish to connect to Google Drive.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
