Privacy Policy

IAU LifeCoach — Last updated: September 2026

IAU LifeCoach ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, the third parties that process it (including AI providers), and the rights you have over your data. By using our platform, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Data We Collect

Account data: your name, email address, and authentication details provided when you register.

Assessment data: your responses to IAU questionnaires and the Church Talent Assessment.

Coaching data: messages you send to the IAU AI Coach, journal entries, daily check-ins, and career blueprints generated for you.

Uploaded documents: resumes, CVs, or other files you upload for AI analysis.

Transaction data: purchase and subscription records processed by our payment provider, Stripe.

Usage data: pages visited, features used, and progress milestones, used to improve your experience.

2. AI Data Processing & Third-Party AI Providers

To deliver personalized coaching, your assessment answers, journal entries, check-ins, profile information, and uploaded documents are transmitted to and processed by third-party AI providers:

• Anthropic (Claude models) — used for deep analysis and coaching responses.

• Google (Gemini models) — used for capability insights and job-market research.

• OpenAI (GPT models) — used for conversational coaching.

These providers process your data on their servers solely to generate your coaching responses. We do not sell your data. AI processing is consent-based: you can enable or withdraw consent at any time in the Privacy Center. Withdrawing consent disables AI coaching features but does not delete previously generated results.

Your data may also be synced to Google Sheets for administrative record-keeping when you complete assessments or place orders.

3. Sub-Processors

We rely on the following third-party services to operate the platform (each processes data only as needed to provide the service):

• Base44 — application hosting, database, authentication, and backend infrastructure.

• Stripe — payment processing for subscriptions and products. Stripe receives your payment details directly; we do not store full card numbers.

• Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI — AI processing (see Section 2).

• Google (Sheets) — optional administrative export of assessment responses and orders.

Each sub-processor is bound by its own privacy and data-processing terms.

4. Data Security

Your data is stored in a secured database with row-level access controls: only you and authorized administrators can access your personal records. Sensitive operations are protected by server-side authentication, authorization checks, rate limiting, and signed tokens. Payment data never touches our servers — it is handled directly by Stripe.

While we use industry-standard safeguards, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the services. Assessment responses, journal entries, and coaching history are retained until you delete them. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 6). Transaction records may be retained for legal, tax, and accounting requirements.

6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your location (EU/UK/EEA, California, and other jurisdictions with similar laws), you have the following rights over your personal data:

• Right of access — request a copy of your data.

• Right to portability — export your data in a machine-readable format.

• Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data.

• Right to rectification — correct inaccurate personal data.

• Right to object — object to certain processing, including AI processing.

• Right to withdraw consent — withdraw consent for AI data processing at any time.

You can exercise export and deletion directly in the Privacy Center. For all other requests, contact us at support@iaulifecoach.com. We respond to verified requests within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

The Church Talent Assessment may be used by minors in a ministry context. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Before using the Church Talent Assessment, users are required to confirm their age group and, where applicable, provide parental consent. If you believe a child has provided data without consent, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries where our sub-processors operate. By using the platform, you consent to these transfers. We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
