SaintsArk is the official outreach of ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc., for the terms of this agreement ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. will hereby be referred to below as SA.
All visitors to this Service (“Visitors”) who register with the Service and join a Church or Group are Members or Admins. Admins are the organizers or administrators of these Churches or Groups. Members register and participate under either their user profile feed, in a Church or as part of a Group. Admins decide who can join their Church or Group and whether, at any time without needing a reason, to remove a member of their respective Church or Group. This Privacy Policy describes how we, SA, obtain and use information about you and your visits to our website ("the Ark") at saintsark.com and your participation in a user profile, Church and or Group. To offer the personalized experience of a Member, Church or Group environment, we collect personal information about you (“Personal Data”). This policy describes how we collect, use, and share your Personal Data with your Admins and other Members in connection with your use of the Service. Unless defined here, capitalized words have the same meaning as in the SaintsArk Terms of Use, which this Privacy Policy is part of. Church and Group will hereby be referred to collectively below as Network.
I. Information we collect and how we use it
When you visit this website, join or create a Network, interact with us or your Admin through the Service, we, as the service provider for your Admin account, collect Personal Data and other information from you (collectively, “Data”). We use your Personal Data to be able to provide the Service to you:
- We collect Personal Data when you share it voluntarily.
- We collect some Personal Data automatically when you visit our website or use the Service.
- We and your Admins use your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service, understand how you and other Members are using Networks and to inform you about events and services that may be of interest to you.
- All postings, messages, text, files, images, photos, videos, sounds, or other materials (“Content”) posted on SA grants ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute said Content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, said Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses (through multiple tiers) of the foregoing. Furthermore, by posting Content to any public area of the Service, you automatically grant ChrisTcradle Charity Foundation, Inc. all rights necessary to prohibit any subsequent aggregation, display, copying, duplication, reproduction, or exploitation of the Content on the Service by any party for any purpose. However, SA does not claim ownership of content that its users post.
- Data does not include Your Content or User Generated Content. As we explained above, you (and the people you license Your Content from) keep complete ownership of all Your Content. By posting Your Content on the Service, you grant us a license to use it, but you and your licensors still own it.
A. Personal Data you provide directly
‘Personal Data or Personal Information’ means any information relating to you from which you can be identified, directly or indirectly, including your name, identification number, location, online identifier such as your IP address or device ID, or one or more factors specific to your physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.
‘Special Categories of Personal Data’ means data revealing your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and data concerning your health, sex life or sexual orientation.
‘Aggregated Data’ is data in a summary form for statistical analysis. A common purpose of aggregation is to get more information about particular groups based on specific variables such as age, profession, or income level.
‘Pseudonymisation’ means the processing of your personal data in a way that the personal data can no longer identify you without the use of additional information, so long as the additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to prevent you from being identified or identifiable.
We store and use your Personal Data together with an ID we assign each time you join a new Network. We assign you one Network to ensure you have a personalized experience in each one.
Name and Email Address. When you register as a Admin or Member of a Network, we ask you for your real name and your email address. Both we and the Admin of the Network receive access to this information and use it to communicate with you about the Service. In addition, we and your Admin may use this address to email you about events or services believed to be of interest to you.
If you donate as a Member or Admin, we may also collect your mailing address and zip code for billing purposes. Admins may decide to collect your mailing address, via our Services.
Social Media Profiles. You can also register with your Facebook or Google account. When you register this way, you give us permission to access your Facebook or Google profile and photo. Your profile and photo will become part of your Network profile. See below for more information on Integrated Services like Facebook.
Profiles and Topics. When you join a Network, you will be prompted to add a profile, including a short bio, and to choose topics to follow (“Denomination”). From this information, SA personalizes your experience in each Network. Your Admin can also choose and customize categories of Personal Data to collect from you including, if you agree, Special Categories of Personal Data.
Your Location. We ask you for your location so that we can facilitate interactions with other Members in your geographic area. This information may be used to allocate you to local church events and or gatherings.
Other Personal Data You Provide Directly. You may also provide us Personal Data when you use certain features of the Service such as participating in conversations in your Networks, contact us with inquiries, or respond to one of our surveys.
B. Personal Data and Information we collect automatically

We use this information for our legitimate interests to track usage of our Service, to measure the number of unique visitors to the different sections of our Service, to understand how Members find and join Networks, and to help us make our Service more valuable to every Admin and Member. The use of this information is called “analytics.” Often information used for analytics is aggregated.

Third-Party Cookies Used to Target Ads to You When You Use the Service or are on Other Websites. “Beacons” are transparent pixel images that are used in collecting information about website usage across websites and over time. The Networks may use third party cookies or beacons to target Admins ads to you when you visit other websites. Our Hosts may also work with other companies who use their cookies or beacons to target third party ads to you on other websites based on your prior visits to the Host’s Network on our website Service. This is called online behavioral advertising (“OBA”), because you receive ads based on your prior online behavior. We do not have access to these cookies; it is third parties who engage in OBA.
