1. Introduction
church.chat ("we," "our," or "us") provides a free scheduling and team management application for churches. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our Service, including our integration with Google Calendar.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Account and profile information (name, email address, church name)
- Volunteer scheduling data, availability, and assignments
- Google account information when you authorize our app: We request access to your Google Calendar to read and write events related to your serve schedules. This is limited to the scopes necessary for the integration (calendar events only).
3. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used to:
- Provide and maintain the church.chat scheduling platform
- Sync volunteer commitments with your Google Calendar for easy visibility
- Send notifications about schedule changes
- Improve our services
We do not use Google user data for advertising or any purpose other than providing the core functionality of the app.
4. Google Calendar Integration
Our app uses Google APIs to enable two-way synchronization between church.chat and your Google Calendar. This allows volunteers to see their serve assignments in their personal calendar. We only access calendar data necessary for this purpose and do not store or share your calendar data beyond what's required for the Service.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share data with service providers who assist in operating our Service (such as hosting), but they are bound by confidentiality agreements. Google data is handled in accordance with Google's API Services User Data Policy.
