Privacy Policy
TCOG (The Chain of Good) is an AI-powered growth and purpose platform and movement designed to help individuals and organizations discover clarity, build discipline, and grow spiritually tcogfoundation.org. We are committed to protecting your privacy and explaining how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by the TCOG mobile app and related services. By using TCOG, you agree to the terms of this policy.
Information We Collect
TCOG collects only the information necessary to provide and improve our services. In general, we gather the following types of data: Personal Information: When you sign up for TCOG, we collect your name and email address. This allows us to create your user account and communicate with you. We do not collect payment information (no purchases are required to use the basic app). User-Generated Data: If you choose to use features like goal tracking or assessments, we collect the content you provide in the app (e.g. your habit logs, purpose assessment results, or other inputs). This data is used to generate personalized insights and learning modules as part of our AI-driven coaching experience tcogfoundation.org. Device and Usage Data: We may automatically collect technical information from your device when you use the app. This can include device type, operating system version, app usage logs, and IP address. This non-identifying data helps us improve the app’s performance and diagnose issues. Push Notification Token: If you allow push notifications, we collect your device’s push notification token. This is considered personal information under privacy laws termsfeed.com . We use this token solely to send you the notifications you opt in to receive. We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health or financial information) or other data beyond what is listed above. These elements are collected only to support TCOG’s mission of helping you live with purpose. For example, our platform uses your name and usage data to tailor the AI-driven insights, habit reminders, and learning modules that help you grow spiritually and stay disciplined tcogfoundation.orgtcogfoundation.org. We strive to minimize data collection and retain information only as needed to operate the service.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected from you to provide, maintain, and improve the TCOG app, and to communicate with you. Specifically: Provide and Enhance Services: We use your data to operate the app’s core features (such as your personal dashboard and progress tracking) and to power the AI-driven personalized insights and recommendations tcogfoundation.org . For example, we analyze your habit tracking and assessment results to generate a “Purpose Score” and suggest relevant content or challenges. Your email and usage data also help us ensure your account is secure and functioning properly. Communications: We use your email address to send important information about your account (such as confirmation emails or password reset instructions) and periodic updates about app features or content, if you have opted in. Push Notifications: If you opt in to receive push notifications, we use your notification token to send reminders, motivational messages, and other updates designed to help you stay engaged with your goals. We will only send push notifications with your explicit permission, as required on iOS devices termsfeed.com . You can disable push notifications anytime via your device settings. Improvement and Analytics: We analyze aggregated usage patterns (in a de-identified form) to improve app performance, add new features, and enhance the user experience. This may include studying which lessons, challenges, or app components are most used, so we can refine our offerings. All such analytics are done internally and do not involve sharing your personal data with advertisers. Safety, Legal, and Fraud Prevention: We may use your information to investigate and prevent fraud or misuse of the app, to comply with legal obligations, and to enforce our Terms of Use. If required, we may use and disclose personal information to comply with a court order, law, or legal process. Otherwise, we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with outside parties for marketing purposes. Our use of your information is always tied to one of the purposes described above. For example, when we say TCOG creates personalized learning modules and habit tracking, that capability relies on the data you provide and use tcogfoundation.org . We believe in a “chain reaction of good” – aligning personal and collective purpose – and only use your data in ways that support that mission
Push Notifications
TCOG uses push notifications to help you stay on track with your goals and engage with the app. These notifications can include daily reminders, motivational messages, or updates about new content. We will only send push notifications to you if you explicitly opt in. On iOS devices, Apple requires user consent to receive push notifications termsfeed.com ; on other platforms (such as Android) you can manage notification permissions in your device settings.
Because sending push notifications involves use of your device token or identifier, it is considered use of “personal information” under privacy regulationstermsfeed.com. We treat this data with the same care as your other personal information. The only purpose of collecting your push notification token is to deliver the messages you request. You can disable or opt out of push notifications at any time: simply adjust the notification settings on your mobile device.
Data Storage and Security
All information we collect is stored securely on servers hosted by Supabase, a third-party cloud database provider. Supabase is a trusted platform that offers robust security features to protect sensitive data supabase.com . For example, Supabase enables strict access controls and encryption to ensure only authorized access to the database. Your data is encrypted during transmission (using industry-standard HTTPS/TLS) and we apply database security measures to guard against unauthorized access.
We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Access to the servers is restricted to authorized personnel only, and we follow best practices (such as strong passwords and secure tokens) within the TCOG platform. Importantly, we do not share your personal data with any other company for marketing or promotional purposes. Your information remains within the TCOG system, used only for the purposes described above.
To summarize our data security stance:
Secure Hosting: User data is stored on Supabase’s servers, which use encryption and access controlssupabase.com.
Restricted Access: Only our internal team (and our service providers under contract) can access your personal data, and only to support the app’s functionality.
No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to advertisers or other outside entities. Third-party services (like cloud infrastructure or push delivery services) only receive the minimum data needed to perform their function (e.g. Supabase stores our data, and push notification services get the device token). We require all our providers to handle your data confidentially.
Legal Compliance: We follow relevant legal and regulatory requirements (such as Nigeria’s data protection laws) to ensure your data is handled lawfully and with your rights in mind.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We take your privacy seriously and share personal information only in limited circumstances: With Our Service Providers: We use trusted third-party vendors to operate the app (for example, Supabase for data hosting and Apple/Google services for push notifications). These providers are only given access to the data necessary to perform their tasks and are bound by confidentiality. They do not have independent rights to use your data for other purposes. Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law (for example, in response to a valid subpoena or court order) or if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of users or others. Emergencies: In rare cases of potential harm, fraud, or threat, we may use your information to prevent damage or loss. Except as described above, TCOG does not share your personal data with any third parties. We respect your trust and will never sell or trade your information.
Children’s Privacy
TCOG can be used by individuals of any age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent. Because the app focuses on personal development, we encourage parents or guardians to oversee use by minors. If you are under 16 (or 18, depending on your country’s age of consent) please have your parent or guardian review this policy and supervise your use of the app. Parents who discover that their child has provided personal information without consent should contact us. We will take steps to delete any such information.
Your Choices and Rights
You have control over your personal information: Account Information: You can access and update certain account details (like your name or email) from within the app or by contacting us. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, you can do so by emailing support@tcogfoundation.com. Upon deletion, we will erase your personal data from our active systems (subject to any legal retention requirements). Communications: You may opt out of marketing emails by following the unsubscribe link in any email. You can always disable push notifications on your device if you no longer wish to receive them. Data Access and Correction: If you are in Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, or another jurisdiction with data protection laws, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise any data rights, please contact us at support@tcogfoundation.com.
Changes to This Policy
TCOG may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements). If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy in the app or sending an announcement. The “Last updated” date at the top of this document will be revised accordingly. Your continued use of the app after changes means you accept the new policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at support@tcogfoundation.com. We will do our best to respond to your inquiry promptly. Thank you for trusting TCOG (The Chain of Good) — we are dedicated to serving you while safeguarding your personal information every step of the way.
