We do not access, process, transfer, view or edit ANY of your New World Scheduler data and all your data is stored securely.
New World Scheduler
All data is stored on your local computer only, under your User Profile folder, meaning other users of your computer can’t access it.
All data is always encrypted, both when the program is open and closed.
New World Scheduler developers, admins and support personnel CANNOT access, process, transfer, view or edit ANY of your New World Scheduler data, at ANY time, under ANY circumstances, with the following exceptions:

To do this, we use unique device identifiers to identify your computer or mobile device. This is completely anonymous. No personal information is sent.
- Appointed Brothers who use NW Scheduler are required to provide a first name and email address when they first open and begin using New World Scheduler. This information is stored securely and is used by New World Scheduler to help us better manage registration and support.

Congregation Sharing
Congregation Sharing allows you to automatically share and synchronize all New World Scheduler data with other appointed brothers in your congregation only. Congregation Sharing does NOT store confidential information online.
Instead, NON-CONFIDENTIAL encrypted New World Scheduler data strings are stored on a server in the region you select for the sole purpose of sharing and syncing New World Scheduler data with other approved appointed brothers in your congregation. Sharing servers are secure and encrypted.
For example, if you select a European server and only share with brothers in your congregation who live in the European Union, your data will never be transferred outside of the European Union.

- Shared Persons are required to provide their first name and email address when using Congregation Sharing. This information is stored securely and is used by New World Scheduler for security and authentication purposes, as well as sending security notifications.
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for selecting the correct Sharing Region. For example, brothers in the European Union should select one of the European regions.
You are responsible to select which appointed brothers in your congregation can access New World Scheduler information, and ensure they have a legal and scriptural right to access such information.
You are responsible for obtaining any legally required consent to store New World Scheduler data. For example, congregations in the EU may require publishers consent to store and process their personally identifiable information (PII). (Likely your congregation elders have already done this)
