Privacy Policy
TwoDogDev — Zita Last updated: June 25, 2026
Overview
Zita is a ministry management app for churches, built and maintained by TwoDogDev. This policy explains what data Zita handles, where it lives, and what TwoDogDev does (and does not do) with it.
The short version: your data lives in your iCloud account. TwoDogDev never sees it, never stores it on independent servers, and never shares or sells it to anyone.
Who This Policy Covers
This policy applies to all users of the Zita app for macOS, including church administrators, guild leads, and standard members who have been invited to join a church in Zita.
What Data Zita Handles
Information Entered by Church Administrators
When setting up a church or adding members, administrators enter:
- Member names (given name and family name)
- Member email addresses
- Church name and diocese
- Guild and role assignments
- Service schedules and liturgical calendar data
This information is entered by the church administrator and relates to the church’s own volunteers and operations.
Apple ID (Sign in with Apple)
Zita requires Sign in with Apple for all users. When you sign in, Apple provides Zita with a unique user identifier. You may also choose to share your name and email address with Zita through this process, but this is controlled by you and Apple — not by TwoDogDev.
Zita stores the Apple-provided identifier locally to recognize you across sessions. TwoDogDev does not receive or store your Apple ID credentials.
For more information on how Apple handles Sign in with Apple data, see Apple’s Privacy Policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
Scheduling and Availability Data
Members may enter unavailability date ranges (for example, vacation or travel dates). This data is stored within the app and used only to assist with scheduling within your church.
Subscription and Billing
Paid subscriptions are handled entirely through Apple’s App Store and StoreKit. TwoDogDev does not collect, process, or store payment card information or billing details of any kind. All billing data is managed by Apple. For more information, see Apple’s App Store & Privacy policy.
Where Your Data Lives
All Zita data is stored in your church’s iCloud account via Apple’s CloudKit infrastructure. This means:
- Data is stored on Apple’s servers, under your Apple ID and iCloud account
- TwoDogDev has no independent server, database, or data store
- TwoDogDev cannot access, view, export, or modify your church’s data
- Data is shared between your church’s team members using Apple’s secure CloudKit sharing, which requires an explicit invitation from a church administrator
What TwoDogDev Does Not Do
TwoDogDev does not:
- Collect or store your data on any server owned or operated by TwoDogDev
- Sell, rent, or share your data with third parties
- Use your data for advertising or marketing purposes
- Use analytics SDKs, tracking tools, or advertising frameworks in Zita
- Have access to your church’s member roster, schedule, or any other data entered in the app
Data Sharing
Zita does not share your data with any third parties except as follows:
- Apple Inc. — Data is stored in iCloud via CloudKit and processed through Sign in with Apple and the App Store. Apple’s handling of this data is governed by Apple’s own privacy policy.
- Within your church — Data entered in Zita is shared with other members of your church who have been explicitly invited by a church administrator. Access is invite-only and role-based.
No other sharing occurs.
Data Retention and Deletion
Because Zita data lives in your iCloud account, you control its retention and deletion:
- A church administrator can deactivate members, guilds, and services within the app
- To delete all Zita data, delete the app and remove the associated data from your iCloud account via your device’s iCloud settings
- TwoDogDev cannot delete your data on your behalf, as TwoDogDev does not have access to it
Children’s Privacy
Zita is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children. The app is intended for use by church administrators and adult volunteers.
Changes to This Policy
TwoDogDev may update this privacy policy from time to time. When changes are made, the updated policy will be posted at this URL with a revised date. Continued use of Zita after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
