Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including account details, church profile data, member records, contribution records, and communications sent through our contact forms.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to provide and improve Church Books services, maintain security, process transactions, generate reports, and respond to support requests.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers that help us operate the platform, or when required by law. Specifically:

• Payment processing — Subscription payments are handled by PayPal. When you make a payment, relevant transaction data is shared with PayPal under their own privacy policy.
• Hosting — The platform is hosted on Railway. Your data is stored on their infrastructure under their data processing terms.

4. Data Security

We take the security of your account and church data seriously. The following protections are in place:

• Encrypted connections — All data between your browser and our servers is transmitted over HTTPS.
• Secure password storage — Passwords are never stored in plain text.
• Login monitoring — We will send you an email notification any time a successful login occurs on your account. If you receive a notification for a login you did not make, change your password immediately.
• Account protection — Repeated failed login attempts will temporarily lock your account and trigger an alert email to you.
• Secure cookies — Your session is protected against common web attack techniques.

No system is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

5. Data Retention

We retain data as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

6. Your Choices

You may request updates or corrections to your account information. For account-related privacy requests, contact us using the details below.

Security emails: We send transactional security emails (such as login notifications and account lockout alerts) to the email address on your account. These emails cannot be opted out of as they are essential to protecting your account.
