Privacy Policy

Theophany ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Theophany, you consent to the practices described here.

• Content: posts, comments, messages, resources, and media you publish.
• Usage data: basic analytics about how you interact with the app, used to improve the service.
• Payment data: subscription payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card number.

How We Use Information

• To provide and maintain your account and the features of the community.
• To display your profile and content to other members as you intend.
• To process Faithful subscription payments and manage your billing.

Data Sharing

We share data only with service providers that help us operate (such as Stripe for payments and our hosting and database providers), each under contractual obligations to protect your information. We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our community.

Data Retention

We retain your account information and content for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and personal data at any time; we will remove it within a reasonable period, subject to legal retention requirements.

Your Rights

You can access, correct, or delete your profile information at any time from your profile settings. You may request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account by contacting support.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted transmission and secure password storage. No method is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

Children

Theophany is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can remove it.
