This Privacy Policy was updated on March 5, 2018.
Your privacy is important to us. So, we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person.
You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with us or an affiliated company. We and our affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. We may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising. You are not required to provide the personal information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.
Here are some examples of the types of personal information we may collect and how we may use it:
What personal information we collect
When you use our products or services or interact with our company, we may collect a variety of information, including your location, name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, calendar, and information about yourself and your contacts. We may collect this information from our application, from credit card information, and from other social media platforms, such as your login credentials, your “real” name, profile picture, and other information that you share or your social network shares with you.
When you share content with our service or any connected third-party source, we may collect data about such posts including, content, likes, views, comments, and other responses. we may collect the information you provide about those people such as names, mailing address, email addresses, and phone numbers. We will use such information to provide our services, link your account with us to your social networking account, or for anti-fraud purposes. Furthermore, information that you share through our service could become collected and viewed by other users or organizations to whom you have shared information.
In certain jurisdictions, we may ask for a government issued ID in limited circumstances and when required by law.
How we use your personal information
The personal information we collect allows us to create a platform from which to provide the services integrated with existing social media networks, you can opt out at any time by updating your preferences or deleting the application from your device. This will not delete previously collected data.
We also use personal information to help us create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes.
We may use your personal information, including date of birth, to verify identity, assist with identification of users, and to determine appropriate services. For example, we may use date of birth to determine the age of our users, and we may use that information to deny service to users that do not meet our minimum user requirements.
From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with us, you may not opt out of receiving these communications. If you would like to unsubscribe to any other e-mails, follow the instruction at the bottom of each email and we will removes you from our subscribers list.
We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve our products, services, and customer communications. We may occasionally ask users of our Service to complete online surveys and opinion polls about their activities, attitudes, and interests. These surveys help us better serve you and improve the usefulness of the Service.
We may share the information in your account, and user Content you elect to share via the Service, with the Church or other Platform Operator administering your Services (“Admin”). By publishing user Content to your social media outlet, you are allowing us to access your social media outlet account information and you are agreeing to the applicable social media outlet terms and conditions. Other than what we may share with a social media outlet in connection with your use of the Service, the Personal Information a social media outlet has collected from you is obtained and maintained by them independently of our Service. Other services follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the Personal Information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other online services you use.
If you email us through the website, we may ask you for additional information so we can respond to your questions and comments. If you choose to correspond with us via email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our response to you. In certain cases, we may post content from your emails addressed to us.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, referrer URL, location, and the time zone, and other details, so that we can better understand user behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.
We may collect information regarding customer activities on our website, mobile applications and our other products and services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are most effective. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
We may collect and store details of how you use our services. This information may be used to improve the relevancy of results provided by our services. In limited instances, to ensure the quality of our services over the Internet, such information could be associated with your IP address.
If we do combine non-personal information with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Cookies and Other Technologies
Our websites, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, clear GIFs and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, streamline the user experience, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of our Services. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non‑personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
You can choose to limit the transmission of this data in your account preferences, or via your web browser. If you do not accept cookies you may unable to utilize the full functionality of the Services.
We also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online services, and applications. Knowing your contact information, hardware identifiers, and information about your computer or device helps us reduce bugs and coding errors to provide you with the best customer service possible. Collecting user usage data allows us to prioritize the aspects of our Services that are used more frequently and to generate statistics about how the Services are being used.
As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.
We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our products and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may also use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format which customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
In some of our email messages, or as a feature of the Services we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our website or the website of third parties. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in email messages. If you click on another third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. Third Party websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.
Disclosure to Third Parties
At times we may make certain personal information available to strategic partners that work with us to provide products and services, or that help us market to customers. Before sharing personal information with third parties we will take all reasonable measures to ensure that the third parties will abide by this policy.
At times we may make certain non-personal information available to third parties for reasons other than providing the Services. We may disclose non-personally identifiable aggregate statistics regarding user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of, our Service to third parties in the form of aggregate data, such as overall patterns or demographic reports, which do not describe or identify any individual user. Information relating to aggregate statistics may be collected through the use of third-party cookies and other third-party tracking devices. We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and log data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling, and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personal Information.
Service Providers

We may combine your Personal Information with non-Personal Information and aggregate it with information collected from other users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Service, and to analyze and understand how our Service is used. We will not share, rent, or sell your Personal Information to other parties, except to our service providers as set forth below.
We may match information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both Personal Information and Site Usage Information, and use such information along with information obtained from other sources, including (without limitation) any of our other websites and third parties. We may send you notices (for example, in the form of emails, mailings, and the like), and otherwise correspond with you, about products, services, companies, events, sponsored by us and others, that we think might interest you.

We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect our property and rights and the rights of our suppliers, or other third parties, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity.

Protection of Personal Information
We take the security of your personal information very seriously. Our online services protect your personal information during transit using encryption such as TLS. When your personal data is stored by us, we use computer systems with limited access housed in facilities using physical security measures. We restrict access to personal information to those employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations. Data is transferred in encrypted form including when we utilize third-party storage. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.
We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting via the Service in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement, or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system. While we endeavor to protect the security and integrity of sensitive Personal Information provided to the Service, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be safe from intrusion by others. In the event of a data breach and consistent with the above, we will notify users over email within seven business days after becoming aware and a data breach.
When you use some products, services, or applications or post on a forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information and content you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to share or submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, login information, or national identification numbers in a non-secure or unsolicited email or telephone communication.
