The following summarizes our Privacy Policy:
Throughout this policy, to make things easier to read, we're going to use a few short acronyms and terms. For example, when we reference “platforms”, we're referring to multiple websites and applications that we (Church of the Redeemer) maintain. When we reference your Profile, we're referring to an account in our Church Management System that is used to maintain the personal information that you have provided to us, or that is connected to our platforms or to login our platforms. When we reference “services”, we're referencing third-party tools to which we have contracted to use.

Your privacy matters to us. Any information that you send through our platforms will never be intentionally distributed to anyone outside of Church of the Redeemer. In the rare cases where sharing sensitive information is necessary, we will only do so at your request or when required by law, subpoena, to avoid harm to a person, or other legal process. In addition to our own computer network, Church of the Redeemer uses several vendors to supply additional features to our platforms. In each case, these vendors are governed by their respective privacy policies.
When you give us your personal information or create a Profile with us, your information is generally associated with a profile in our Church Management System (ChMS) called Church Community Builder. We may combine this data with other data you provide as you engage with our platforms.
