Privacy Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

Honors Co, Inc. (“Honors Co,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. We are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us as you use the Honors Co mobile application (“App”), the website at www.HonorsCo.com, and our related services (collectively, the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information. By accessing or using our Platform, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. Specifically, you acknowledge that the Platform is designed to collect and process sensitive religious and personal data for the purpose of discipleship and mentorship.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information to facilitate our mission to help you develop clarity for your calling through personal growth, accountability, and mentorship.

A. Personal Information You Provide Directly

  • Account Registration: First name, last name, profile photo, date of birth, gender (for Discipleship Track customization), email, and cell phone number (used for authentication via Twilio).
  • Optional Profile Data: Marital status, parental status, and whether you own a physical Honors Journal.
  • Discipleship & Sensitive Data: Voluntary self-assessment “Check-In Scores” regarding your spiritual, relational, and physical growth (e.g., 1-10 scores on Target areas like “Sexual Purity” or “Walk with God”), and your “Key Habits.” You explicitly consent to our processing of this sensitive religious data.
  • Personality Insights: Results from personality assessments (e.g., Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, DISC) that you voluntarily input into the App.
  • Group & Network Data: Information about the “Dream Teams,” Groups, and Organizations you join, as well as the Mentors or Mentees you connect with.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Device Data: Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and crash data to ensure App stability.
  • Usage Data: How you interact with the App, including feature usage and engagement metrics.

C. Information Regarding Children

  • Family Groups: The App allows parents to manually create profiles for their children within a “Family Group” to facilitate parenting insights. This data is input solely by the parent.
  • COPPA Compliance: We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under the age of 13. The Platform is not directed to children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child without parental consent, please contact us immediately for deletion.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your data to deliver the core functionality of the Honors Co app framework:

  • Service Delivery: To manage your account, facilitate “Check-Ins,” and track your progress on your Life Balance Wheel.
  • AI Insights: To generate personalized spiritual and leadership insights, we process your first name, gender, marital status, parental status, account feature flags (mentor, Dream Team, and Honors Journal status), and personality assessment inputs using third-party AI providers (specifically OpenAI). We do not use your data to train public AI models. No contact information (email/phone) or full identities are sent to third parties for this purpose.
  • Connectivity: To connect you with Mentors, Mentees, and Small Groups upon your request.
  • Communication: To send you authentication codes (via SMS) and relationship-based reminders (e.g., anniversaries, birthdays) that you have scheduled.
  • Internal Analytics: To improve the Platform’s performance and user experience.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal data. We share your information only in the following ways:

A. User-Directed Sharing (The “No Secrets” Feature)

  • Mentors & Groups: If you voluntarily join a Group or accept a Mentor, you are authorizing Honors Co to display your data to them. This includes your Check-In scores, Personality results, Organization Affiliations, Key Habits, and Targets.
  • Dynamic Privacy: You acknowledge that Group Leaders may have the ability to toggle privacy settings for the Group, potentially making your data visible to other Group Members. You control this sharing by choosing which Groups to join and may leave a Group or disconnect from a Mentor at any time to stop future sharing.

B. Service Providers

We share data with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the App:

  • Infrastructure: AWS and Digital Ocean (Hosting and Storage).
  • AI Processing: OpenAI (To generate “Insights” reports).
  • Communication: Twilio (SMS Authentication) and Postmark (Email delivery).
  • Security: Cloudflare (Traffic security and DDoS protection).
  • Payment Processing: Wix and Stripe (To process website and Honors Journal purchases). When you make a purchase, we share your name, email address, billing address, and order details with these providers as needed to complete the transaction. Payment card details are entered and processed directly through our providers’ secure checkout.
  • CRM: GoHighLevel (Customer relationship management; stores contact details such as your name, email address, and phone number).

C. Legal Obligations

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or subpoena).

5. AI FEATURES & DATA PROCESSING

Our “Insights” feature utilizes artificial intelligence to provide personalized feedback.

  • Data Transmission: When you use this feature, limited data (first name, gender, marital status, parental status, account feature flags such as mentor, Dream Team, and Honors Journal status, and personality assessment inputs) is transmitted to our AI partner, OpenAI.
  • Anonymization: We do not transmit your full profile, contact details, or financial info to the AI provider.
  • No Training: Your data is not used to train OpenAI’s public models.
  • Internal Improvement: In addition to generating your Insights reports, we may use anonymized and aggregated User Content to train, improve, and refine our own AI features and models, as described in our Terms of Service. This data is anonymized and aggregated before such use and is never used to train public third-party models.

6. DATA RETENTION & DELETION

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.

  • Account Deletion: You have the right to delete your account at any time. You may initiate this deletion directly within the Honors Co App from the My Account Page or by emailing a request to [email address not readable in the source capture].
  • Backups: Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed from our active databases, though some data may be retained in backup logs for a limited period (typically up to 90 days) for security and disaster recovery purposes before being permanently overwritten.

7. SECURITY

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

8. YOUR RIGHTS (GDPR, CCPA, & STATE LAWS)

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your data, including:

  • The Right to Access: You may request copies of your personal data.
  • The Right to Rectification: You may request that you correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
  • The Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your consent to share your data with us by deleting your account or updating your profile settings.
