How secure is churchsuite?
All of ChurchSuite uses SSL encryption, meaning that all the data passing between your device and the ChurchSuite server does so using 256-bit military grade encryption.

How confidential are my personal details?
Church members may access their own individual details and have the option of making their name, address and contact details (email and telephone) available to those in their Small Groups and Ministry teams. A small number of Falkirk Vineyard's Staff Team are designated administrators for ChurchSuite and therefore have wider-access to personal data on the main database. Collectively this group maintain ChurchSuite and act as system managers. Your details will only be shared with authorised members of Falkirk Vineyard Staff Team and Ministry Leaders - so that they can get in touch with you!
ARE CHILDREN'S DETAILS ALSO HELD ON CHURCHSUITE?
Yes – Children’s and Youth groups and activities are recorded in a separate section within ChurchSuite, and are never visible to anyone outside of Staff and ministry leaders with appropriate access. A child’s record is linked to their parents and only parents have access to the data held on their children through the ChurchSuite app. Parents can update or amend the details as they wish. One important feature is that parents will be able to record information such as their children’s allergies and special needs.
Please note that if your child is on a rota, their name (and only their name), will be visible to those who are also on a rota.

What if we only have a shared email address?
Families who share an email address can still use ChurchSuite. Each family member is sent a ChurchSuite email invitation, which will have a unique login link, so each individual can set their own personal password (just make sure it’s different from the rest of your family).
WHAT IF I DON't have a smart phone, iPad, access to a computer or an email address?
Existing communication routes will continue for members who cannot, or prefer not to receive emails and we will make sure that they receive information in another form.
