Tentmaker58 LLC ("Tentmaker58," "we," "us," or "our") operates Tentmaker58, a ministry operations platform used by Seventh-day Adventist churches and their programs (Bible Experience, Pathfinder, Worship scheduling, and related ministries). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Service collects, how it's used, and the choices available to you.
Tentmaker58 is used by organizations ("Organizations," "churches") to manage their own members, volunteers, and program participants. In most cases, the Organization — not Tentmaker58 — decides what information to collect about its own people and is responsible for that decision. Tentmaker58 processes that information on the Organization's behalf to provide the Service.
When you sign in, authentication is handled entirely by Microsoft Entra External ID — Tentmaker58 never receives or stores your password. We receive your display name and email address from Entra to create and identify your account.
Organization administrators may enter information about the people they serve — including children and youth participating in programs like Bible Experience or Pathfinder — such as name, date of birth, contact email, phone number, church membership status, baptism date, and guardian relationships. This information is entered and managed by the Organization, not collected by Tentmaker58 directly from children through the Service.
You control whether you receive email and/or SMS text message notifications from your account settings. SMS notifications are off by default and only sent after you explicitly opt in; you can turn either off at any time.
Depending on which programs an Organization uses, the Service may also store scheduling assignments, Bible Experience quiz results and scores, channel/announcement participation, and similar program-specific records.
The Service keeps a record of significant account and administrative actions (for example, who updated a role, approved a membership, or changed a setting) for accountability and security purposes, visible to authorized administrators within an Organization and to Tentmaker58 platform administrators.
We use the information described above to:
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Tentmaker58 uses the following service providers to operate the platform. Each processes only what's necessary to perform its function:
We don't share information with any other third party except where required by law, or with your Organization's own administrators as part of the normal operation of the Service.
We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
If you opt in to SMS text message notifications, message frequency varies based on your schedule and activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for help.
This section applies only to www.tentmaker58.com, our public marketing website — not to the Tentmaker58 application itself, which does not use Google Analytics or similar tracking. Our website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed, using cookies and similar technologies. Google may process this information according to its own privacy policy. We use this information in aggregate to improve our website; we do not use it to identify individual visitors, and we do not use it for advertising.
Tentmaker58 is a tool used by adult church staff and volunteers to help run programs that include children and youth. Information about a child is entered by an Organization's authorized staff or a parent/guardian, not collected by Tentmaker58 directly from the child through the Service. Organizations are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate parental or guardian permission consistent with their own policies and applicable law before entering a child's information.
We retain information for as long as your account or your Organization's account remains active, or as needed to provide the Service. You or your Organization administrator can request deletion of information at any time by contacting us below.
Information is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Access within the Service is limited by role- and organization-based permissions, and significant administrative actions are recorded in an audit log.
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above.
