Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Church Planning is a service for churches at churchplanning.app and app.churchplanning.app. This policy explains what we collect when you visit the website or use the app, and how to reach us.

2. What we collect

Account details (name, email, church and roles), including those you give when you sign up and set up your church, what you add to the app (services, songs, schedules, course progress), and basic technical logs. The website uses cookie-free analytics.

3. How we use it

To run the service for your church, keep it secure and fix problems, and to send the messages you ask for, such as invitations and reminders. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.

4. Where it is stored

The app runs on a server in Germany, in the European Union. Files and backups are kept in Cloudflare R2 object storage, and media files are shared only through short-lived links.

5. Your rights

You can see and correct your data, ask us for a copy of it, or ask us to delete it. Your church admin can do this for the whole church. Write to us and we reply within 30 days.

6. How long we keep it

When you delete your account, it is anonymised 14 days later: your name, email, phone, devices, notes and what other people's messages say about you are removed, and your name in your church's records becomes "Deleted account".

Some things stay on purpose. Past services keep that a deleted account served, without a name. Your quiz results and certificates stay in your church's training records. Files you added to your church, such as song charts and recordings, stay with the church.

The activity log your church's admins see is kept for 2 years. Backups are kept for 35 days, then replaced.
