Privacy Policy
A plain-language overview of how Tabot handles personal information.
Last updated: 25 August 2026Tabot is designed to support faith and community without asking for more information than the service needs.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use Tabot, we may collect:
- Account information such as your name, email address, profile photo, and authentication identifiers
- Community content such as posts, comments, messages, reports, and other submissions
- Optional location information when you choose to discover nearby churches or services
- Device, notification, and diagnostic information needed to operate and secure the app
How we use information
- Provide account access and the app's spiritual, educational, and community features
- Show locally relevant churches, services, events, and content when requested
- Deliver notifications and transactional messages such as password resets
- Moderate reports, prevent abuse, protect users, and improve reliability
Service providers
Tabot uses trusted providers to operate the service, including Amazon Web Services for backend infrastructure and storage, Apple and Google for optional sign-in, Expo and push-notification services for app infrastructure, and Resend for transactional email. Providers process information only as needed to deliver their services.
Your choices and controls
- Location permission is optional and can be changed in your device settings
- You can report inappropriate content and block other users
- You can update certain profile information inside the app
- You can permanently delete your account in the app or through our public request page
Data retention and deletion
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to operate Tabot, protect the service, and meet legal obligations. Account deletion removes or anonymizes account information and associated personal content, subject to limited security, fraud, backup, legal, and safety exceptions.
Minimal deletion-request and security records, as well as encrypted backup remnants, may be retained for up to 90 days after completion. Records required by law or a valid legal claim may be kept longer.
Children and community safety
Tabot is intended for users aged 13 and older. Community features are supported by reporting, blocking, and administrative moderation tools. If you believe a young person's information was provided inappropriately, contact us so we can investigate.
