Depending on the service you use, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, account credentials, membership and transfer details, date and county of birth, visitation location, prayer or testimony details, ministry information, giving records and communications with the church.

How we use information

We use information to create and manage accounts, process membership and transfer requests, arrange visitation and pastoral care, respond to prayer and testimony requests, administer giving, communicate church activities, provide requested resources, protect our services and meet legal, accounting and safeguarding responsibilities.

When you give, payment providers such as M-Pesa or Paystack may process payment details under their own terms and privacy notices. We may use hosting, email, mapping, security and communication providers to operate the service. We do not sell personal information.

Access, retention and security

Church workers receive access only where it is needed for their responsibilities. We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for church administration, legal, accounting, safeguarding or dispute-resolution purposes. We use access controls and other reasonable safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
