Privacy Policy
The App My Church and WayChat apps are owned by WayChat, INC. WayChat, INC built the App My Church and WayChat apps as commercial apps. This service is provided by WayChat, INC and is intended for use as is. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our applications and services.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including your name, email address, phone number, and profile information when you create an account or register through a church. When you use app features such as posts, prayer requests, events, or donations, we collect the content you submit. Church administrators may also provide us with member information to set up and manage their church's app.
We automatically collect certain information when you use our apps, including device information (such as device type and operating system), log data (such as IP address and access times), and usage information (such as which features you use and how often). We may use cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve our services.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services; to process transactions and send related information such as receipts; to send you technical notices and support messages; to respond to your comments and questions; and to communicate with you about products, services, and events. We also use information to detect, prevent, and address fraud and abuse, and to comply with legal obligations.
Content you share within your church app (such as posts, prayer requests, and event RSVPs) is visible to other members of your church community as determined by your church administrators. We do not use your personal information for advertising purposes.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with service providers who assist us in operating our apps (such as hosting, analytics, and payment processors) under strict confidentiality agreements. We may also share information when required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a merger or acquisition. Church administrators have access to member information within their church's app for administrative purposes.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
You may access, update, or delete your account information through the app settings or by contacting us. You can opt out of certain communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or adjusting your notification preferences in the app. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights such as the right to data portability, the right to restrict processing, or the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
