We work with service providers that help us operate Ministry Steward. Depending on how you use the Service and how your account is configured, these providers may use cookies or similar browser storage for:
Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies through your browser settings. You can also clear localStorage through your browser's site data controls. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of Ministry Steward may not work correctly, including sign-in, protected app pages, attendance kiosk mode, checkout, and session security features.
Some service providers also offer their own privacy or cookie controls. You can review those controls directly through the provider's website when you interact with that provider's service, such as checkout or analytics opt-out tools.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology, service providers, or legal obligations. When we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page.
