How We Use Information

We use collected information to operate SWAPP, improve features, provide support, and maintain a secure experience for churches, staff, volunteers, and users. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, and we only use data in ways that are consistent with the purposes described in this policy, your organization’s instructions, and applicable law.

We may share data with vendors that provide hosting, infrastructure, analytics, customer support, email delivery, SMS delivery, or maintenance services.

Organization Administrators

If you use SWAPP through a church or other organization, authorized administrators may access content and account information needed to manage the system.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if required by law, to comply with valid legal process, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate abuse, fraud, or security incidents.

Business Transfers

If SWAPP is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset transfer, information may be transferred as part of the transaction subject to appropriate protections.

Data Security and Retention

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, system monitoring, secure development practices, and limited-access administrative tools. No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we continually work to strengthen our safeguards.

Retention Practices

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the services, comply with legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business purposes. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, account status, and the instructions of the organization using SWAPP. When information is no longer required, we will delete, de-identify, or securely archive it where appropriate.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your relationship with SWAPP and the organization that manages your account, you may have choices regarding the information we process, including access, correction, deletion, and communication preferences. Some information may be managed by the administrator of your church or organization, and in those cases we may direct certain requests to the appropriate administrator.

Access and Updates

You may be able to review and update parts of your account profile directly through the app or by contacting us for assistance.

Communication Preferences

You can opt out of certain promotional messages where applicable, though service-related notices may still be sent.

Account and Data Requests

If you would like to request deletion, export, or restriction of data, contact us and we will review the request in accordance with applicable obligations.

Children’s Privacy

SWAPP is designed for organizations such as churches and ministries, and it may be used in environments where minors are present. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner inconsistent with applicable law. If you believe a child’s information has been provided to SWAPP without proper authorization, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
