1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing SWAPP, creating an account, or using our services, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions that govern platform use. If you are using SWAPP on behalf of a church, nonprofit, or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these terms.
2. Authorized Use
SWAPP is intended for legitimate organizational, administrative, communication, giving, event, and CRM-related activities. You agree not to misuse the platform, attempt unauthorized access, or interfere with system integrity, data availability, or other users’ experience.
3. Account Responsibility
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. We recommend using strong passwords, enabling secure access practices, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized use.
4. User Content
You retain rights to content you submit, upload, or manage within the platform, subject to the rights necessary for us to host, process, transmit, and display that content as part of service delivery. You are responsible for ensuring you have the authority to share any content you place into SWAPP.
5. Intellectual Property
SWAPP, including its software, branding, design, documentation, and related materials, is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from our proprietary materials.
6. Service Availability
We strive to maintain reliable access to the platform, but service availability may be impacted by maintenance, updates, third-party dependencies, force majeure events, or technical disruptions. SWAPP is provided on an as-available basis unless otherwise stated in a separate agreement.
Privacy, Security, and Data Handling
Because SWAPP supports churches and organizations that manage member records, giving data, communication logs, and event activity, we take a careful approach to data handling and operational safeguards. Our systems are designed to support responsible stewardship of information.
We may process data to provide core application functionality, authenticate users, deliver messages, generate reports, improve performance, and support customer service. Where applicable, we aim to handle data in accordance with our privacy policy, contractual commitments, and relevant legal requirements.
If your organization has specific governance, consent, or retention requirements, you should configure usage policies internally and consult legal counsel as needed. SWAPP can support operational workflows, but your organization remains responsible for its own policy decisions and compliance obligations.
Data Stewardship
We aim to limit access, use secure processing practices, and support informed administration of sensitive records.
Third-Party Services
Some features may rely on external tools, hosting, or integrations. Those services may be subject to their own terms and policies.
Retention & Deletion
Data retention may depend on account settings, contractual arrangements, and operational requirements. Deletion requests should be submitted through the appropriate support channel.
Your Responsibilities as a User
To ensure lawful and effective use of SWAPP, organizations and individual users should follow these core responsibilities.
Keep Information Accurate
Maintain current and complete information so workflows, communication, and reporting remain reliable.
Obtain Proper Consent
Ensure you have appropriate consent or authority before storing or sharing personal information.
Protect Credentials
Use secure passwords, limit account sharing, and remove access when staff roles change.
Respect Applicable Law
Use the platform in a manner consistent with privacy, communications, nonprofit, and data protection laws.
