Residents of the State of California have the right to request information regarding third parties to whom companies have disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents with rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of “personal information,” as well as rights to access and control personal information. The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean “information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.” Certain information we collect may be exempt from the CCPA because it is considered publicly available information (i.e., it is made available by a government entity) or covered by a federal privacy law, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
To the extent that we collect personal information that is subject to the CCPA, that information, our practices, and our rights are described below.
The following is a description of our data collection practices, including the personal information we collect, the sources of that information, the purposes for which we collect information, and whether we disclose that information to external parties. We may use any and all of the information for any of the purposes described in this Policy, unless limitations are listed. The categories we use to describe the information are those enumerated in the CCPA.
Protected Classifications: We collect your religious affiliation in order to provide services to you. We do not collect your age, gender, race, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation.
Commercial Information: When you engage in transactions with us, we create records of goods or services purchased or considered, as well as your purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies.
Biometric Information: We do not collect information about your physiological, biological, and behavioral characteristics.
Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity Information: We collect information about your browsing history, search history, information regarding your interaction with websites, and applications or advertisements automatically when you utilize our Websites or Services.
Geolocation Data: As described above, we collect your IP address automatically when you use our Services. We may be able to determine your general location based on your IP address. If you allow your device to provide us with this information, we use it to make improvements to our products and services, and to provide recommendations and deliver relevant advertising.
Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, or similar information: If you contact us via phone, we may record the call. We will notify you if a call is being recorded at the beginning of the call. We do not collect thermal, olfactory, or other similar information.
Education information: We do not collect any information about the institutions you have attended or the level of education you have attained.
Inferences drawn to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer’s preferences or characteristics: We analyze your actual or likely preferences through a series of computer processes and add our observations to your internal profile. We use this information to gauge and develop our marketing activities, measure the appeal and effectiveness of our services, applications, and tools, and to provide you with targeted information, advertisements, and offers.
We may share any of the above-listed information with service providers, which are external parties that we engage for business purposes and are restricted from using personal information for any purpose that is not related to our engagement. The categories of service providers with whom we share information and the services they provide are described in this policy.
We may also disclose information to other external parties who are not listed here when required by law or to protect our company or other persons, as described in this policy.
You have the right to request access to personal information collected about you and information regarding the source of that information, the purposes for which we collect it, and the third parties and service providers with whom we share it. To protect your personal information, we will verify your identity before we act on your request.
You have the right to request in certain circumstances that we delete any personal information that we have collected directly from you. To protect your personal information, we will verify your identity before we act on your request.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.
We do not sell personal information, so we do not have an opt-out.
You have the right to be notified of any financial incentives offers and their material terms, and the right to opt-out of such incentives at any time. We do not offer any such incentives at this time.
You can exercise these rights at any time by sending an email to privacy@churchpad.com or by contacting us using the contact details provided under “How To Contact Us” section below.
Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. We may request that your authorized agent have written permission from you to make requests on your behalf and may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity.
To access and use the Services, you must register and create an account. By registering or creating an account, you agree to provide accurate and complete information and to inform us of any changes to that information.
Subject to and conditioned on your compliance with these Terms, including the payment of Fees, CHURCHPAD grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services, solely for your internal business operations by Authorized Users. “Authorized User” means Organization and Organization’s employees, consultants, contractors, and agents (i) who are authorized by Organization to access and use the Services under the rights granted to Organization pursuant to these Terms and (ii) for whom access to the Services has been purchased under these Terms and the applicable Order Form.

CHURCHPAD will not monitor, edit, or disclose any information regarding Customer or Customer’s database without Customer’s express written permission except in accordance with this Agreement or as may be required by law. For example, CHURCHPAD may employ specific data search methodologies to facilitate quick and accurate application user login for the benefit of churches, organizations, customers, and users. Specifically, these data searches are designed to direct users to the correct database for application login and may include, but are not limited to, user searches for the correct church, organization, or customer database utilizing search parameters of church, organization, or customer name; church, organization, or customer location; or user specific identification, such as an individual user’s name. These searches may disclose a church, organization, or customer as having a contractual relationship with CHURCHPAD, as well as disclosing the fact of a specific individual, by name, as having a potential relationship as a user with one or more church, organization, or customer of CHURCHPAD.
Also CHURCHPAD may be required to disclose Data to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities to comply with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request. In addition, CHURCHPAD may review certain User registration and statistical information such as usage or User traffic patterns in summative form for internal planning purposes in operating the Service.

Customer expressly understands and agrees CHURCHPAD shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, or Data, or other intangible losses (even if CHURCHPAD has been advised of the possibility of such damages) resulting from Customer’s use of the API or third-party products that access Data via the API.
Abuse or excessively frequent requests to the Service via the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of Customer’s account’s access to the API. CHURCHPAD, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. CHURCHPAD will make a reasonable attempt via email to warn Customer prior to suspension.
CHURCHPAD reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, Customer’s access to the API (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
CHURCHPAD will provide at least two (2) business days advanced notice via email or system announcement within the Service of any scheduled downtime for backup, maintenance, or updates. Additionally, CHURCHPAD will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the quality of the service it provides is of at least prevailing industry standards and access to the Service is available on a 24/7 basis. However, although CHURCHPAD will use all reasonable efforts in good faith to avoid interruption of the Service, Customer acknowledges and agrees access to the Service may be unavailable from time to time for any reason, including, without limitation, interruption of major network connectivity, network and server outages, and backup and regular maintenance by CHURCHPAD and any operators of its servers. In the event a 99.9% uptime is not maintained as an average in any calendar month (excluding planned downtime for backups, regular maintenance, and updates to the Service) (the “Uptime Milestone”), Customer may request a pro rata refund of downtime exceeding forty (40) minutes for that calendar month, or Customer may terminate the Service and will receive a pro rata refund for the unused term of the Agreement for use of the Service (excluding any setup fees, data migration fees, coaching, training or on-premise support fees). Other exclusions to the “Uptime Milestone” include interruptions of major network connectivity outside of CHURCHPAD’s facilities, problems with Customer network or connectivity, and DNS or browser caching.
CHURCHPAD employs third-party companies to facilitate its services to Customer. These services may include, but are not limited to, file storage, encrypted backup services, web analytics, payment processing, email delivery, text messaging, voice broadcasting, hardware, or networking equipment. These third-party companies may have access to personal information insomuch as their services are employed by CHURCHPAD.
Customer will select a minimum of one primary contact (“Super Administrator”) and one other designated contact (“Support Contact”) to manage Customer’s use of the Service, to authorize Users to access the Service, and to serve as the primary technical interface with CHURCHPAD Customer Care Representatives.
CHURCHPAD will provide quality technical support to Customer. A 24-hour online Help Desk will be available to all Users. For questions or information not addressed in the CHURCHPAD Online Help Desk, additional support will be available to the Super Administrators and Support Contact via e-Support Tickets.

communication violating any law, including illegal email solicitations, advertising, promotional materials, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other form of duplicative or unsolicited messages not in full compliance with applicable laws, including the laws of charitable solicitation applicable to any charity or fundraiser raising money for Customer;
harvesting, collecting, gathering, or assembling information or Data regarding other Users, including email addresses, without their consent;
transmitting through or posting on the Service unlawful, immoral, libelous, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, threatening, harmful, invasive of another’s privacy, vulgar, obscene, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature or material which is harmful to minors in any way;
transmitting any material infringing upon the intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of third parties, including trademark, copyright, or right of publicity;
transmitting any material containing software viruses or other harmful or deleterious computer code, files, or programs such as Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or cancel bots;
interfering with or disrupting the integrity of any Data or computer-based information or any servers or networks connected to the Service or violating the regulations, policies, or procedures of such networks;
attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Service through password mining or any other means; or, Harassing or interfering with another User’s use and enjoyment of the Service.
CHURCHPAD, at its own discretion, may immediately disable Customer’s access to the Service or remove all or a portion of Customer’s Data, without refund, if CHURCHPAD believes, in its sole discretion, Customer has violated any of the policies listed above.
CHURCHPAD represents and warrants it will provide the Service in a manner consistent with general industry standards reasonably applicable to the provision thereof and the Service will perform substantially in accordance with CHURCHPAD’s online Help Desk documentation under normal use and circumstances.
CHURCHPAD also warrants and represents it will not share, rent, sell, or trade personal information (including email addresses) identifying Customer or its Users to third parties.
CHURCHPAD will only provide information such as Customer’s name, address, and credit card number to businesses for credit verification and billing services to ensure CHURCHPAD receives proper payment for the Services and to CHURCHPAD service providers for the purpose of providing the Service.
CHURCHPAD represents it has implemented reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the confidential information in its possession. CHURCHPAD uses various security measures to protect the information it collects, as appropriate to the type of information, including encryption, firewalls, and access controls. CHURCHPAD has agreements in place with each of its service providers, vendors, and business partners requiring such third party to protect any Confidential Information transferred to them by implementing industry-standard security measures at least as restrictive as CHURCHPAD’s security measures.
CHURCHPAD, as required by the Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) Data Security Standard (“DSS”) Requirement 12.9, is responsible for the security of cardholder data it stores, processes, or transmits and will implement necessary requirements to be considered PCI compliant.
Customer agrees to pay all applicable fees as specified in Customer’s Agreement. Fees are payable in advance and are due before the first business day of the month. Prepaid training and/or data migration fees are non transferable and are forfeited if Customer fails to submit data or complete training within one (1) year of Agreement.
CHURCHPAD reserves the right to disable Customer’s Account immediately if Customer fails to make payments for the Service by the day said payments are due.
All fees paid are not refundable. However, if CHURCHPAD terminates or cancels the Service or Agreement, with or without cause, CHURCHPAD shall refund Customer the unused portion of the fees remaining for the Agreement’s term (excluding any setup fees or data migration fees).
This Agreement will be valid for a period of one (1) month for monthly-based customer and one (1) year for the yearly-based customer commencing on the start date. This Agreement automatically renews every month for the monthly-based customer. The yearly-based Customer shall have the right to renew this Agreement for additional one (1) year periods commencing on the annual anniversary of the start date. Pricing for any yearly renewal will be based at current pricing as specified on the CHURCHPAD website or in a CHURCHPAD Proposal.
CHURCHPAD shall provide Customer written notice of the current pricing to the yearly-based customer sixty (60) days before the expiration of this Agreement. Should Customer elect to renew this Agreement, pricing may change based on the newly selected products. Unless terminated for cause by CHURCHPAD as set forth herein, this Agreement will continue for the duration of the annual term. Upon the expiration of this Agreement without a renewal by a yearly-based Customer, the Service shall be terminated and Customer’s account shall be deleted no sooner than ninety (90) and no more than three-hundred sixty-five (365) days after terminated service.
In addition to any other rights granted to CHURCHPAD herein, CHURCHPAD reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Customer’s access to the Service if the account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). If Customer or CHURCHPAD initiates termination of this Agreement, Customer will be obligated to pay any balance due on the account computed in accordance with Section XIV above. Customer agrees CHURCHPAD may charge such unpaid fees to a credit card or otherwise bill Customer for such unpaid fees. CHURCHPAD reserves the right to impose a temporary access fee in the event Customer is suspended and thereafter requests access to the Service.
Any unauthorized access, use, copying, disclosure, distribution, or sub-licensing by Customer or with Customer’s aid or consent of the Service or any related methods, techniques, or processes, except as permitted under this Agreement, will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Additionally, any actions taken by Customer or its Users in conflict with Section XII above will also be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. CHURCHPAD, in its sole discretion, within reason, may terminate or suspend the login, account, or use of the Service if Customer or its Users materially breach this Agreement, provided CHURCHPAD provides Customer a ten (10) business day written notice and a fifteen (15) day period to cure any and all material breaches thereafter.
Customer agrees that upon termination pursuant to Sections XVI or XVII above, CHURCHPAD will bar Customer from any further access to the Service. It is the sole responsibility of Customer to retrieve their Data and files from the Service prior to the date of termination. Customer’s account and all Data and files related to the Service shall be permanently deleted no later than three-hundred sixty-five (365) days after terminated service. CHURCHPAD will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice thirty (30) days before such deletion to allow Customer final opportunity to export or download any Data or files related to the Service. Customers choosing to access the Service at that time will incur a temporary access fee, as described in Section XVI above. Customer may terminate the Service on five (5) business days advanced notice for failure by CHURCHPAD to achieve the Uptime Milestone or due to a security breach. In such event, Customer, as its sole and exclusive monetary remedy in connection with such termination, may elect to have refunded the price paid in advance (if any) for the remaining portion of the Agreement’s term for use of the Service (excluding any setup fees or data migration fees). CHURCHPAD may terminate use on notice of the Service if Customer is a competitor of CHURCHPAD and upon such termination shall refund a pro rata portion of the fees paid for the unused term of the Agreement.
Use of the Service and any reliance by Customer upon the Service, including any action taken by Customer because of such use or reliance, is at Customer’s sole risk. CHURCHPAD does not warrant the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor does it make any warranty as to the results that may be obtained from use of the Service.
