Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026 · Seller: Danny Gilbert, Georgia, USA

This Privacy Policy explains what information Danny Gilbert ("we", "us") collects through the Anise online service at christxchurch.org and the Anise and FaithHub Windows programs, how it is used, and the choices you have.

In short: we collect only what is needed to run the service, we never sell personal information, and each organization's information is kept separate and private.

1. Two kinds of information

Organizations' content: when a church, nonprofit, daycare, salon or other organization uses Anise, it enters information about its members, clients, staff and (in daycare mode) children. The organization decides what to collect and is responsible for it. We store and process it only to provide the service to that organization. If you are a member of an organization and have a question about your information, contact that organization first; we will help them answer it.

Account and billing information: the name, email address and organization details of people who sign up, and records of payments. Card numbers are entered directly with Stripe; we never see or store them.

2. What the online service stores

Depending on how an organization uses it: names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, birthdates, member numbers, photos and logos, sign-ins and check-ins, event RSVPs, votes, chat messages, files, form answers, giving and payment records, staff time records, appointments, and for daycares, children's names, classrooms, allergies, and authorized pickup people.

Passwords are stored only in a scrambled (hashed) form that cannot be turned back into the password. Some sensitive settings, such as connected payment keys, are stored encrypted.

Technical information: our servers keep standard logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and troubleshooting.

3. How it is used

To run the service: signing people in, showing the right information to the right people, sending the emails, texts and notifications an organization chooses to send, processing payments, producing reports and statements, and keeping the service secure.

To contact account holders about their account, billing, security and important changes. We do not send marketing to members of organizations.

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

4. Who we share it with

Only service providers that help run the service, and only as needed: Hostinger (web hosting and email sending), Stripe (payments), and, when an organization turns on those features, a text-messaging and phone provider, QuickBooks, Zoom or Google Meet, the browser's push-notification service, and Anthropic (for AI writing, which drafts follow-up messages and newsletters: only the text needed for that one draft is sent, never card details or children's records, and Anthropic does not use it to train its models under its commercial terms). Each is bound by its own privacy and security commitments.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety, or to protect our rights. If the service is ever transferred to a new owner, this policy will continue to apply to the information.

5. Children

The service is for organizations and is not directed to children. Children do not create accounts. In daycare mode, children's information is entered by the daycare or by parents and guardians, and the daycare is responsible for having their consent. Parents and guardians can ask the daycare to see, correct or delete their child's information. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

6. Cookies

We use one essential cookie to keep you signed in, and your browser may remember your language choice. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

7. Security

Connections are encrypted (https), each organization's data is separated from every other organization's, passwords are hashed, administrators can turn on two-step sign-in, and sign-in pauses after repeated wrong passwords. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify affected organizations promptly if a breach affects their data.

8. How long it is kept

An organization's information is kept while its account is open. After an account closes, we keep it for 90 days so the organization can return, then delete it, unless the law requires us to keep something longer (for example payment records). Organizations can delete members and records themselves at any time.

9. Your choices

Members can see and update their own details under My Account and can ask their organization to delete them. Organizations can ask us for a copy of their information or for it to be deleted. Anyone can unsubscribe from newsletters using the link in each one, or reply STOP to text messages.

Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under state law, such as the right to know, correct or delete your information. Contact us and we will help.

10. The Windows programs

In the Anise and FaithHub Windows programs, everything you enter stays on your own computer; we cannot see it. The program contacts us only to activate and check the licence key (sending the key, an anonymous computer identifier, the program version and licence status) and, if you set them up, to use the email, text and payment services you choose.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we will tell account holders about significant changes.
