Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you register for Worship Connect 2026, spin the prize wheel, submit bank payment details, or contact our hospitality team, we collect the following categories of personal data:

• Identity & Contact Information: Full Name, Email Address, Nigerian Mobile / WhatsApp Phone Number, Residential Address, and Gender.
• Applicant Photograph (Profile Picture): A clear facial photograph uploaded during registration for visual identity verification when your QR admission pass is scanned at the venue entrance gate.
• Fellowship & Community Details: Religion, Denomination, Church / Fellowship Name, Favorite Scripture Quotation, and Referral Source.
• Event & Financial Records: Your system-generated 4-character Reference PIN, Ticket ID, assigned competing Game Group (Block A, Block B, Block C, or Block D), Spin & Win prize outcome, and bank transfer reconciliation status.
• Security & Technical Telemetry: One-way cryptographic hashes of IP addresses for rate limiting and anti-bot spam protection, and gate check-in timestamps.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your personal information strictly for organizing, securing, and delivering a seamless Worship Connect experience:

• Pass Issuance & Login Access: Generating your unique 4-character Reference PIN and cryptographic QR admission ticket so you can sign in to your attendee profile anytime without needing a traditional password.
• Venue Gate Security & Anti-Impersonation: Displaying your registered photograph and attendee details to authorized gate verifiers when your QR pass is scanned at Immaculate Heart Secondary School Aba (Immaculate junction Aba), ensuring that no unauthorized person can use another attendee's device or QR code to gain entry.
• Equal Game Block Matching: Automatically balancing registrants across the four competing picnic teams (Block A, Block B, Block C, and Block D) for outdoor games and fellowship activities.
• Payment Verification & Perk Fulfillment: Matching your bank transfer narration (using your 4-character PIN) and reserving your Spin & Win perks (10% cashback, picnic hat, tee, or extra meal pack).
• Transactional Communications: Sending registration confirmations, payment approval receipts with your login details and QR pass, and essential event reminders.

3. Applicant Photograph & QR Verification Security

Your uploaded photograph is resized in your browser before transmission and stored securely in our encrypted database. It is never sold, shared with advertisers, or published publicly. It is accessed only within your private attendee profile, the administrative audit portal, and the gate verification screen when your signed QR code is scanned at the venue entrance.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We only share minimal necessary data with trusted infrastructure providers that power this portal:

• Cloud Database & Hosting: Neon Serverless PostgreSQL and Vercel (for encrypted database storage and secure HTTPS application delivery).
• Transactional Email Delivery: Resend (solely to deliver your registration, login PIN, and ticket confirmation emails).
• Bot & Abuse Prevention: Google reCAPTCHA v3 (to protect registration and contact forms from automated spam).

5. Data Retention & Your Rights

Registration and check-in records are retained for the duration of the Worship Connect 2026 cycle and post-event financial reconciliation. Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), you have the right to request access to your personal record, request correction of inaccurate details (such as a misspelled name or photo update prior to check-in), or request deletion of your data where applicable.
