No email/password mess. Your phone is your account, scoped to your church. Sessions stay signed in until you tap "Sign out." — PRIVACY — Grace Adventures is designed for kids' programs, and we treat that data carefully: • Children's names, dates of birth, and allergy notes are stored only on the church's account and only used to run the event • Photos posted by staff are visible to parents in the same organization for the duration of the event • No third-party advertising or tracking, ever • Account deletion is one tap away in Settings — your data leaves the system immediately • Photo and safety consent is captured at registration and retained as part of your record Grace Adventures is the iOS companion to a public web RSVP page at graceromanianbaptist.com/vbs.html. Sign in on the app or the web — your kids and history follow you across both.
