Operated by: Light Learning Framework LLC
Privacy Contact: [email protected]
Effective Date: October 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Formationly.

Formationly is a Scripture-centered educational and digital content ecosystem operated by Light Learning Framework LLC.

Our mission is to support meaningful biblical formation through educational experiences, storytelling, interactive learning, church partnerships, publications, and related products.

We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of the individuals and organizations who interact with our services, particularly teenagers participating in Formationly Live.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share that information, and the choices and rights available to individuals.

This policy applies to Formationly-operated services identified below, subject to any additional notices provided for specific activities.

2. Services Covered

This Privacy Policy covers the following Formationly services, to the extent operated by Light Learning Framework LLC:

The Formationly Live teen participation pathway is:

Some services are provided through independent third-party technology platforms. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy notices and their agreements with Formationly.

3. Personal Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Formationly.

A. Website Visitors

When individuals access our websites or applications, technical information may be processed, including:

The precise information collected depends on the technologies enabled for each service.

B. Church Representatives

When a church enrolls in Formationly Live, we collect information needed for the partnership and onboarding process.

This may include:

The church activation form is intended for adult representatives.

We do not require churches to provide a roster of individual teenage participants through the activation form.

C. Thinkific Purchasers and Account Holders

Individuals who purchase or access Formationly educational products through Thinkific may provide:

Thinkific and its payment providers may process additional information necessary for payment processing, security, and account administration.

Formationly uses available transaction information to administer purchases and confirm enrollment.

D. Formationly Live and Teen Pulse

Formationly Live provides interactive teaching and reflection experiences.

Teen Pulse may collect responses to educational questions, choices, polls, or reflection prompts.

Individual teenage participants are not required to create a personal Thinkific account to use the public Formationly Live teen participation pathway.

However, participation without registration does not necessarily mean that no personal information is processed.

Technical systems supporting the service may process session identifiers, device information, network information, timestamps, or other metadata.

Teenagers should not include their full names, home addresses, passwords, telephone numbers, contact details, or other unnecessary identifying information in reflection responses.

E. Merchandise Customers

When individuals purchase Formationly merchandise, Formationly or its e-commerce and fulfillment providers may process:

Specific processing depends on the storefront and fulfillment service used.

F. Communications

When you contact Formationly, request support, submit feedback, or communicate with our representatives, we may collect the information needed to respond and maintain appropriate records.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information for legitimate operational purposes, including:

We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary for identified purposes.

We will assess proposed new uses of personal information before implementing them.

5. Teenagers' Privacy

Formationly Live is designed primarily for teenagers ages 13–18 participating in church-coordinated biblical formation experiences.

Teen privacy is an important consideration in our educational design and operations.

Our intended practices include minimizing identifying information, avoiding unnecessary individual accounts for the teen participation pathway, and presenting group-level responses rather than individual responses during live teaching.

These protections do not eliminate all technical information processing.

We recognize that teenagers may disclose sensitive information in educational reflections.

Participants should avoid including identifying details or highly sensitive personal experiences in free-text responses unless an appropriate and clearly explained process is provided.

Formationly will assess what additional protections, notices, and consent procedures are required by applicable law.


6. Children Under 13

Formationly Live is designed primarily for ages 13–18.

Participation by children under 13 requires particular consideration under applicable children's privacy laws.

Where parental consent or other protections are legally required, Formationly will implement an appropriate process before collecting covered personal information.

We do not assume that church authorization alone satisfies every applicable parental consent requirement.

If a parent or guardian believes a child under 13 has provided personal information through a Formationly service, they may contact us using the privacy contact information below.

We will review the circumstances and take appropriate action.

[VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Establish a documented under-13 eligibility, prevention, and response procedure before national rollout.]

7. Teen Pulse Participation and Group Results

Teen Pulse supports interactive educational participation in Formationly Live sessions.

The intended system design emphasizes group-level learning and protects participants from unnecessary public identification.

Formationly's current teaching model uses safeguards for displaying aggregated group results, including a minimum-participation threshold.

We do not intend to publicly display individual teenagers' responses as identifiable submissions during teaching sessions.

However, aggregate results may not always guarantee anonymity if participants can be identified through other information or if participation groups are sufficiently small.

We will assess the risk of re-identification and apply appropriate safeguards.


8. AI-Assisted and Adaptive Learning Features

Formationly Live may use controlled technology-assisted features to support session delivery.

The approved delivery model retains human Conductor control over instructional adaptations.

Before sending participant information to an external artificial intelligence provider, Formationly must evaluate the data involved, the provider's terms, retention, safeguards, and whether the processing is permitted.

Formationly does not represent that its technology is free of AI processing or that no participant information leaves its infrastructure without verifying those facts.

9. Church Partnership Information

Formationly's annual church partnership is administered through its educational commerce and onboarding systems.

Information collected from authorized adult representatives supports:

Church representatives are responsible for providing accurate information and maintaining appropriate internal authorization to act for their churches.

The applicable Church Partnership Agreement governs contractual responsibilities between Formationly and participating churches.

10. Payments and Transactions

Formationly uses third-party platforms to support financial transactions.

The Formationly Live Annual Church Partnership is structured as a one-time $500 purchase for a 365-day access term, with manual annual renewal.

Payment platforms may collect and process billing information, payment credentials, transaction details, and information needed for fraud prevention.

Formationly may receive transaction records and limited payment information necessary to administer purchases.

Payment processing is subject to relevant provider security procedures and privacy disclosures.


11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Formationly websites and digital services may use cookies, local storage, session mechanisms, or related technologies.

These technologies can support authentication, site operations, security, preferences, analytics, and service functionality.

Some third-party services may also use cookies or other identifiers.

The actual technologies and choices available to visitors depend on the specific website, embedded services, and active configurations.

Formationly will provide legally required notices and choices where applicable.


12. Embedded Media and Third-Party Content

Formationly may use third-party services to display video, educational media, publications, or other content.

When embedded media loads, the provider may process information about the request, device, browser, or related interactions.

Third-party services may have separate privacy policies.

Where practical and appropriate, Formationly will evaluate privacy-protective embedding options.

13. When We Share Information

We may share personal information with service providers when necessary to operate Formationly.

Depending on the relevant service, these may include:

Sharing is limited to information reasonably necessary for the relevant activity, subject to
