Last Updated: September 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Nyimbo Za Kristo (the "App"), developed and maintained by Song Logic Nexus ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you understand how we collect, use, and maintain your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and protection.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

4.1 Third-Party Service Providers

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, including:

• Payment processors (for secure payment handling)
• Analytics providers
• Cloud hosting providers (Firebase / Google Cloud)
• Advertising partners (see section 4.6)
• Customer support platforms

These service providers are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.

• Comply with applicable laws and regulations
• Enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements

4.3 Business Transfers

4.4 No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

4.5 Moving Your Data to Versepond

Nyimbo Za Kristo is being replaced by the Versepond apps. So that you can take your content with you, the App includes Move my data to Versepond.

• A copy kept ready in your account. While you are signed in, the App keeps an up-to-date copy of your saved content (section 2.4) in your account. It checks when you open the App or sign in, and updates the copy at most once a day unless something has changed. The copy includes worship sessions that were previously kept only on your phone, content you saved on this phone before signing in, and the App version it came from.
• A one-time link. When you tap Move my data to Versepond, the App creates a one-time link tied to your account. It stops working after 7 days. Opening it takes you to the Versepond app, or to a page on versepond.com that explains how to get it.
• Versepond asks before anything moves. Versepond reads the copy only when you open that link, or when you sign in to Versepond with the same Google account you use here. It then shows you what it found, and brings your content over only if you agree. In Versepond, playlists and worship sessions become Collections. Once your content is in Versepond, the Versepond Privacy Policy applies to it.
• Nothing is removed here. Moving your data does not delete anything from this App or your account.

This transfer happens only when you ask for it. We do not share your content with Versepond for any other purpose. If you do not want the copy kept in your account, contact us (section 12) and we will remove it.

4.6 Advertising

To keep the App available without a subscription, we show ads to users who do not have an active subscription for the part of the App they are using. These are banner ads, and optional rewarded ads you can choose to watch to unlock features such as all stanzas or to remove banners for a while.

The ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may also serve ads from its partners Unity Ads and Meta Audience Network. When an ad is requested or shown, these providers collect and receive information from your device, including:

• Your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers
• Approximate location, worked out from your IP address
• How you interact with ads and the App (for example, ads viewed or tapped)
• Diagnostic information such as device type, operating system and app version

They use this information to show ads, which may be personalised to your interests; to measure how ads perform; and to prevent fraud and abuse. Their own privacy policies apply to how they use it: Google, Unity and Meta.

Your choices: in your Android settings (Settings › Privacy › Ads, or Settings › Google › Ads on some devices) you can reset or delete your advertising ID, which limits personalised ads. You can also avoid ads entirely with an active subscription.

5. Data Security

5.1 Security Measures

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission
• Secure cloud storage (Firebase / Google Cloud)
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms
• Regular security audits and assessments

5.2 Limitations

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and any transmission of data is at your own risk.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Access and Correction

You have the right to access your personal information and request corrections to inaccurate data. You can view and update your account information through your App account settings or by contacting us.

6.2 Data Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal obligations and the operational needs of the App. To request deletion, please visit our account deletion page or contact us at the email address below.

6.3 Opt-Out of Communications

You can opt out of promotional emails by clicking the unsubscribe link in our communications or by adjusting your notification preferences in the App settings. Please note that we will continue to send transactional emails necessary for account management.

6.4 Permissions Management

You can control which permissions the App has (location, storage, etc.) through your device settings.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information and terminate the child's account promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with information, please contact us immediately.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

The copy of your content kept for moving to Versepond (section 4.5) stays in your account until you ask us to remove it or delete your account.

9. International Data Transfers

If you are located outside Kenya, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in Kenya and other countries. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules. We will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

10. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites and services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites before providing personal information.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, and other factors. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, if necessary, by providing additional notice (such as sending you an email notification). Your continued use of the App following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
