Your data belongs to your church
Not to us, and not to whoever set the account up. This page says what that means in practice, including how you leave.
What your church owns
Your membership records, your groups, your events and registers, your giving records, your courses, your sermons and your uploaded media. Ask and we will export them for you.
What each member controls
Their own profile and its privacy settings
What other members can see is their decision.
Their communication consents
Recorded per channel. A member who has not consented to text messages is not in the recipient list.
Their private content
A journal and direct messages are theirs, not the church’s.
Deletion on request
Prayer requests and testimonies can be deleted at the request of the person who submitted them, which is a specific capability rather than a promise.
What we do not do
We do not sell your data, and we do not use one church’s congregation to advertise to another. Analytics on our own marketing pages never carry a member’s personal information.
Frequently asked questions
- How do we get our data out?
- Ask us and we will export it. It is your data; there is no hostage-taking in the exit.
- Do you have a written privacy policy?
- Yes. Ask us for the current version at help@byfaithapps.com.
