What happens
to what you send.

This website

The contact form emails me what you typed — your name, your address, your church and your message — and keeps no copy on the website. I reply from the same address. Nothing is passed to anybody else, and nothing is added to a mailing list.

To stop the form being used to send mail to strangers, the site counts how many messages have come from your internet address in the last hour. That count is a scrambled version of the address, it is not readable as an address, and it is deleted after a day.

There is no tracking on this site: no analytics, no advertising pixels, and no cookie except the one that keeps the contact form’s own security token while you are filling it in.

The sum the form asks you to answer is worked out on this website. It is not Google’s reCAPTCHA or any other service, so answering it tells nobody anything about you.

The app itself

This is the part that matters more, so it is worth being plain about.

ChurchMembersApp runs on your church’s own hosting account. The member records — names, birthdays, phone numbers, photographs, families — are in your database, on your account. They are not copied to me, and they are not stored anywhere central.

You can export the whole register at any time, and you can delete it. If you stop using the app, nothing of yours is left with me, because nothing of yours was ever with me.

When I help with a problem you ask me to look at, I see what you show me during that work and nothing else.

The demo

Every member in the demo is invented, and every phone number in it is in a range that cannot ring anybody. It is put back to its starting state regularly, so anything you type into it disappears.

Asking

If you want to know what I hold about you, or want it deleted, ask through the contact page and I will do it and tell you when it is done.
