We do not use application activity information for advertising or commercial profiling.
Teresa Choir allows authorized users to create, upload, and share content, including messages, images, PDF documents, audio files, and other attachments.
Content uploaded by users may be visible to other authorized members of the participating choir organization, depending on application features and permissions.
Users are responsible for the content they upload, share, or distribute through the application. Users should only upload content that they own or have permission to share.
Teresa Choir does not claim ownership of user-generated content. By uploading content, users grant Teresa Choir permission to store, process, and display such content solely for the purpose of providing application functionality.
We reserve the right to remove content that:
Infringes intellectual property rights
Contains harmful, malicious, or inappropriate material
Creates security risks for users or the application
Users may report inappropriate, harmful, or unauthorized content to a choir administrator or by contacting Teresa Choir at linhnguyen701@yahoo.com.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect user information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Access to member-specific activity information is restricted to authorized administrators with appropriate permissions.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Information transmitted between the application and cloud services is encrypted using industry-standard security protocols.
Users may initiate deletion of their Teresa Choir account from within the application by opening their profile or account settings and selecting "Delete Account."
Account deletion removes the user's account information and associated personal data that Teresa Choir is not legally required to retain. Users may be asked to confirm the deletion request to prevent accidental deletion.
Account deletion also includes identifiable application usage and activity information associated with the member's account, subject to the retention exceptions described in this Privacy Policy.
Aggregated or anonymized statistics that can no longer reasonably identify an individual member may be retained for application improvement and historical reporting.
If assistance is needed, users may contact us at linhnguyen701@yahoo.com.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Teresa Choir services, maintain choir records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the security of the application.
Identifiable, detailed application usage and activity information is retained for up to 90 days, unless a shorter period applies or a longer period is necessary for a legitimate purpose permitted by applicable law.
Older activity information may be deleted or converted into aggregated statistics that no longer identify individual members.
When a member's account is deleted, associated identifiable application activity information will also be deleted in accordance with our account deletion procedures.
When an account deletion request is completed, personal information and associated user-generated content will be deleted within 30 days unless retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate security purposes.
Certain backup copies may remain temporarily until they are automatically removed through normal backup-retention processes.
Teresa Choir is intended for members of participating choir organizations and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
