Privacy Settings
“EVERYONE”
– Like a church directory listing, everyone in our church will be able to see whatever profile information is marked as visible to everyone.
– This is information which you have customized as “visible”.
“MY GROUPS + GROUP LEADERS + CHURCH STAFF”
– This setting means information will only be shared with the people you are involved with at church.
– This is the default setting.
“GROUP LEADERS + CHURCH STAFF”
– You would use this setting if you wanted to keep some profile information hidden from anyone who is not a group leader or on staff.
“CHURCH STAFF ONLY”
– This setting effectively removes you from the church directory.
– Your information will only be available to authorized church staff.
– While you can hide the majority of your information from most of your church, contact data will still be visible to certain members of our church staff.
CUSTOM PRIVACY
– You can choose different privacy levels for specific contact fields and personal information.
– You can do this in two places: when you edit your profile information or when you manage your privacy settings.
– The Directory page shows all individuals who have a login, along with individuals without a login who have been opted–in to the directory.
– Currently, individuals with a login cannot opt–out of being listed in the directory.
.
Family Privacy
“HEAD” FAMILY MEMBER AND “SPOUSE”
– A family member with a primary position –such as “Head” or “Spouse”– can change privacy settings for other members of the family.
– They can also opt family members into the church directory.
CHILDREN’S BIRTHDATES
– Birthdates are required for children (as a means to prohibit access), but it’s up to you if you want to share the birthdate with your church family.
