Privacy Policy
01Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Coptic Investment Group LLC ("CIG," "we," "us," or "our"), a Pennsylvania limited liability company, collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit our websites or use our products, including CIG One, Coptic Events, CIG Construction, and the CIG Investor Portal (collectively, the "Services").
By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

03How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the Services
- Authenticate users and administer accounts
- Process investment transactions and maintain required investor records
- Process donations and event registrations
- Send administrative messages, security alerts, and updates
- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues

06Data Security & Third-Party Processors
We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and audit logging. CIG One uses Firebase with strict security rules limiting each member to their own data.
The following third-party providers process limited data on our behalf to operate the Services. Each is bound by their own privacy and security commitments:
- Google Firebase — authentication, encrypted database, file storage, and serverless backend functions. Stores your account profile, signed agreements, and uploaded documents.
- Expo Push Notification Service — delivers push notifications to your device when you opt in. We send Expo a push token tied to your device and the message content; we never share your name or email through this channel.
- Sentry — captures crash reports and error logs from the app to help us diagnose technical issues. Reports include the type of error, the screen you were on, and your user ID; they do not include passwords, signatures, KYC documents, or financial values.
We do not currently use any payment processor; all member contributions are recorded manually inside the app for admin review. If we add a payment processor (such as Stripe) in the future, we will update this Policy and notify members.
No system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and notifying us promptly of any suspected unauthorized access.
07Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Services. After account closure, we may retain certain data:
- Investment, tax, and AML records as required by law (typically 5–7 years)
- Donation receipts and giving statements as required for tax reporting
- Anonymized or aggregated data indefinitely for analytics
You may request deletion of your account and personal data at any time (see Section 8).
08Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Receive your data in a portable format
- Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time
To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@copticinvestmentgroup.com. We will respond within 30 days.
09Children's Privacy
The investment-related Services (CIG One, Investor Portal) are not directed to anyone under 18. The community Services (Coptic Events) may be used by minors only with parental consent and under the supervision of the church administering the account. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have done so, we will delete it.
10International Users
Our Services are operated from the United States. If you access them from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., which may have data protection laws that differ from your country.
11Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice in the Services. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
