We will collect your address book and calendar meeting information to keep growing your network by suggesting connections for you and others and providing information about events, e.g., times, places, attendees, and contacts. You don’t have to post or upload personal data, though if you don’t, it may limit your ability to grow and engage with your network over our Services.

We use log-ins, cookies, device information, and internet protocol (“IP”) addresses to identify you and log your use.

1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We collect data through cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels and ad tags) to collect data (e.g., device IDs) to recognize you and your device(s) on, off, and across different services and devices where you have engaged with our Services. We also allow others to use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. If you are outside the Designated Countries, we also collect (or rely on others who collect) information about your device where you have not engaged with our Services (e.g., ad ID, IP address, operating system, and browser information) so we can provide our Members with relevant ads and better understand their effectiveness. You can opt out of our use of data from cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for ad targeting and other ad-related purposes.

1.5 Your Device and Location

We receive data through cookies and similar technologies. When you visit or leave our Services (including some plugins and our cookies or similar technology on the sites of others), we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to and the time of your visit. We also get information about your network and device (e.g., IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, cookie IDs and/or ISP, or your mobile carrier). If you use our Services from a mobile device, that device will send us data about your location based on your phone settings. We will ask you to opt in before we use GPS or other tools to identify your precise location.

1.6 Messages

If you communicate through our Services, we learn about that. We collect information about you when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. For example, if you get a Chayah Club connection request, we track whether you have acted on it and will send you reminders. We also use automated scanning technology on messages to support and protect our site. For example, we use this technology to suggest possible responses to messages and to manage or block content that violates our User Agreement or Community Policies from our Services.

1.7 Church, Workplace, and School-Provided Information

When you or your sponsored organization (e.g., employer, church, or school) buys a paid Service for you to use, they give us data about you. Others buying our Services for your use, such as your employer or your school, provide us with personal data about you and your eligibility to use the Services they purchase for use by their workers, students, or alumni. For example, we will get contact information for administrators and for authorizing users of our paid Services, such as our coaching, consulting, or learning products.

1.8 Sites and Services of Others

We get data when you visit sites that include our cookies, or some of our plugins or when you log in to others’ services with your Chayah Club account. We receive information about your visits and interaction with services provided by others when you log in with Chayah Club or visit others’ services, including some of our plugins or our cookies, or similar technologies.

1.9 Other

We are improving our Services, which means we get new data and create new ways to use data. Our Services are dynamic, and we often introduce new features, which may require collecting new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we collect, use or share your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Policy. 

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide, support, personalize and develop our Services. How we use your personal data will depend on which Services you use, how you use those Services, and the choices you make in your settings. We use the data we have about you to provide and personalize our Services, including with the help of automated systems and inferences we make so that our Services (including ads) can be more relevant and valuable to you and others.

2.1 Services

Our Services help you connect with others, find and be found for work and business opportunities, stay informed, get training, and be more productive. We use your data to authorize access to our Services and honor your settings.

Stay Connected

Our Services allow you to stay in touch and up to date with colleagues, partners, clients, and other professional contacts. You can “connect” with the professionals you choose and wish to “connect” with you. Subject to your and their settings, when you connect with other Members, you can search each others’ connections to exchange professional opportunities. We use data about you (such as your profile, profiles you have viewed, or data provided through address book uploads or partner integrations) to help others find your profile, suggest connections for you and others (e.g., Members who share your contacts or job experiences) and enable you to invite others to become a Member and connect with you. You can also opt-in to allow us to use your precise location or proximity to others for specific tasks (e.g., to suggest other nearby Members for you to connect with, calculate the commute to a new job, or notify your connections that you are at a professional event). Whether you invite someone to our Services, send a connection request, or allow another Member to become your connection is your choice. Inviting someone to connect with you will include your network and basic profile information (e.g., name, profile photo, job title, region, and wellness information). We will send invitation reminders to the person you invited. You can choose whether or not to share your own list of connections with your connections.

Visitors have choices about how we use their data.

Stay Informed

Our Services allow you to stay informed about news, events, and ideas regarding spiritual, personal or professional topics you care about and from professionals you respect. Our Services also allow you to improve or learn new spiritual, personal, or professional skills. We use the data we have about you (e.g., data you provide, data we collect from your engagement with our Services, and inferences we make from the data we have about you) to personalize our Services for you, such as by recommending or ranking relevant content and conversations on our Services. We also use our data about you to suggest skills you could add to your profile and skills you might need to pursue your next opportunity. So, if you let us know that you are interested in a new skill (e.g., by watching a learning video), we will use this information to personalize content in your feed, suggest that you follow certain members on our site, or suggest related learning content to help you towards that new skill. We use your content, activity, and other data, including your name and photo, to notify your network and others. For example, subject to your settings, we may notify others that you have updated your profile, posted content, taken a social action, used a feature, made new connections, or were mentioned in the news.

Courses

Our Services allow you to explore courses, evaluate educational opportunities, and seek out and be found for spiritual, personal, or professional development opportunities. Your profile can be found by those looking to connect, encourage, or be encouraged by you. We will use your data to recommend services, skills, or mentees and show you and others relevant contacts. You can signal interest in growth opportunities and share information with coaches. We will use your data to recommend services to you and to coaches. We may use automated systems to provide content and recommendations to help make our Services more relevant to our Members, Visitors, and customers. Keeping your profile accurate and up-to-date may help you better connect to others and opportunities through our Services.

Productivity

Our Services allow you to collaborate with colleagues and search for potential clients, customers, partners, and others to do business with. Our Services allow you to communicate with other Members and schedule and prepare meetings with them. If your settings allow, we scan messages to provide “bots” or tools that facilitate scheduling meetings, drafting responses, summarizing messages, or recommending the next steps. 

Premium Services

Our paid Services or donation help paying users access our exclusive content and Services, such as coaching, consulting, branding, learning, and promoting content through social. We offer paid Services, subscriptions, donations, and sales of products and books that provide our customers and subscribers with customized search functionality and tools (including messaging and activity alerts) as part of our strategy or solutions. Customers can export limited information from your profile, such as name and the general location, to manage leads or skills development unless you opt-out. We do not provide contact information to customers as part of these premium Services without your consent. Paid Services or donation customers can store information about themselves in our paid Services, such as a resume, contact information, or sales history.

Communications

We contact you and enable communications between Members. We offer settings to control what messages you receive and how often you receive some types of messages. We will contact you through email, mobile phone, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your Chayah Club inbox, and other ways through our Services, including text messages and push notifications. We will send you messages about the availability of our Services, security, or other service-related issues. We also send messages about how to use our Services, network updates, reminders, job suggestions, and promotional messages from our partners and us. You may change your communication preferences at any time. Please be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from us, including security and legal notices. We also enable communications between you and others through our Services, including invitations, direct messengers, groups, and messages between connections.

Customer Support

We use data to help you fix problems. We use data (including your communications) to investigate, respond to and resolve complaints and Service issues (e.g., bugs).

Insights That Do Not Identify You

We use data to generate insights that do not identify you. We use your data to produce and share insights that do not identify you. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about our members, their spirituality or profession, or industry, calculate ad impressions served or clicked on, publish visitor demographics for a Service, or create demographic metrics and insights.

2.9 Security and InvestigationsWe use data for security, fraud prevention, and investigations. We use your data (including your communications) for security purposes or to prevent or investigate possible fraud or violations of our User Agreement and/or attempts to harm our Members, Visitors, or others.

3. How We Share Information

3.1 Our Services

Any data you include on your profile and any content you post or social action (e.g., likes, follows, comments, shares) you take on our Services will be seen by others, consistent with your settings.

Profile

Your profile is fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services. Subject to your settings, it can also be visible to others on or off of our Services (e.g., Visitors to our Services or users of third-party search engines). Your settings, degree of connection with the viewing Member, the subscriptions they may have, their usage of our Services, access channels, and search types (e.g., by name or by keyword) impact the availability of your profile and whether they can view specific fields in your profile.

Posts, Likes, Follows, Comments, Messages

Our Services allow the viewing and sharing of information through posts, likes, follows, and comments.

When you publicly share an article or a post (e.g., an update, image, video, or article), it can be viewed by everyone and re-shared anywhere (subject to your settings). Members, Visitors, and others will be able to find and see your publicly-shared content, including your name (and photo if you have provided one).In a group, posts are visible to others in the group. Your group membership is public and part of your profile, but you can change visibility in your settings. Any information you share through companies’ or other organizations’ pages on our Services will be viewable by it and others who visit those pages. When you follow a person or organization, you are visible to others and that “page owner” as a follower. We let senders know when you act on their message, subject to your settings where applicable. Subject to your settings, we let a Member know when you view their profile. When you like, re-share, or comment on another’s content (including ads), others will be able to view these “social actions” and associate it with you (e.g., your name, profile, and photo if you provided it). Your church or purpose-driven employer can see how you use the Services they provide for your spiritual, personal, or professional development (and related information. We will not show them your job searches or personal messages.

Enterprise Accounts

Your church or purpose-driven employer may offer you access to our enterprise Services. Your church or purpose-driven employer can review and manage your use of such enterprise Services. Depending on the enterprise Service, before you use such Service, we will ask permission to share relevant data from your profile or use of our non-enterprise Services with your church or purpose-driven employer. We understand that certain activities, such as prayer requests, testimonies, life adversities, and personal messages, are sensitive. So we do not share those with others unless you share them with them through our Services.

3.2 Communication Archival

Regulated Members may need to store communications outside of our Service. Some Members (or their employers) need, for legal or professional compliance, to archive their communications and social media activity, and will use the services of others to provide these archival services. We enable archiving of messages by and to those Members outside our Services. For example, a financial advisor needs to archive communications with her clients through our Services to maintain her professional financial advisor license.3.3 Others’ ServicesYou may link your account with others’ services so that they can look up your contacts’ profiles, post your shares on such platforms, or enable you to start conversations with your connections on such platforms. Excerpts from your profile will also appear on the services of others. Subject to your settings, other services may look up your profile. When you link your account with other services, personal data will become available to them. Sharing and using that personal data will be described in, or linked to, a consent screen when you opt to link the accounts. For example, you may link your social media account to share content from our Services with these other services. Alternatively, your email provider may allow you to upload your Chayah Club contacts into its own service. Third-party services have their own privacy policies, and you may be permitting them to use your data in ways we would not. You may revoke the link with such accounts. Subject to your settings, excerpts from your profile will appear on the services of others (e.g., search engine results, mail and calendar applications that show a user limited profile data of the person they are meeting or messaging social media aggregators, spiritual facilitators, and lead managers). “Old” profile information remains on these services until they update their data cache with changes you made to your profile.

3.4 Related Services

We share your data across our different Services and Nikimac-affiliated entities. We will share your personal data with our affiliates to provide and develop our Services. We may combine information internally across the different Services covered by this Privacy Policy to help our Services be more relevant and valuable to you and others. For example, we may personalize your feed or job recommendations based on your learning history.

3.5 Service Providers

We may use others to help us with our Services. We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing, and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

3.6 Legal Disclosures

We may need to share your data when we believe it’s required by law or to help protect the rights and safety of you, us, or others. It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of Chayah Club, our Members, personnel or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague, or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

3.7 Change in Control or Sale

We may share your data when our business is sold to others, but it must continue to be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger, change in control, or preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.

4. Your Choices & Obligations

4.1 Data Retention

We keep most of your personal data until your account is open. We generally retain your personal data as long as you keep your account open or as needed to provide you with Services. This includes data you or others provided and data generated or inferred from your use of our Services. Even if you only use our Services when looking for encouragement or participating in our events and programs every few years, we will retain your information and keep your profile open unless you close your account. Sometimes, we retain certain information (e.g., insights about Services use) in a depersonalized or aggregated form.

4.2 Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

You can access or delete your personal data. You have many choices about collecting, using and sharing your data. We provide many choices about the collection, use, and sharing of your data, from deleting or correcting data you include in your profile and controlling the visibility of your posts to advertising opt-outs and communication controls. We offer you settings to control and manage the personal data we have about you. For personal data that we have about you, you can:

• Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g. if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you).

• Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account. You can also ask us to change, update or fix your data in some instances, mainly if it’s inaccurate.

• Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g. if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

• Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your personal data and request a copy of the personal data you provided in machine-readable form.

4.3 Account Closure

We keep some of your data even after you close your account. If you choose to close your Chayah Club account, your personal data will generally stop being visible to others on our Services within 24 hours. We generally delete closed account information within 30 days of account closure, except as noted below. We retain your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse (e.g., if we have restricted your account for breach of our Community Policies), enforce our User Agreement, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us. We will retain de-personalized information after your account has been closed. Information you have shared with others (e.g., through messages, updates, or group posts) will remain visible after you close your account or delete the information from your profile or mailbox. We do not control other Members’ data copied out of our Services. Group content and ratings or review content associated with closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source. Your profile may continue to be displayed in the services of others (e.g., search engine results) until they refresh their cache.

5. Other Important Information

5.1. Security

We monitor for and try to prevent security breaches. Please use the security features available through our Services. We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data, such as HTTPS. We regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, we cannot warrant the security of any information you send us. There is no guarantee that data may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

5.2. Cross-Border Data Transfers

We store and use your data outside your country. We process data inside and outside the United States and rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders. Countries where we process data, may have laws different from, and potentially not as protective as, the laws of your own country.

5.3 Lawful Bases for Processing

We have lawful bases to collect, use and share data about you. You have choices about our use of your data. At any time, you can withdraw your consent by going to settings. We will only collect and process your personal data where we have lawful bases. Lawful bases include consent(where you have given consent), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., to deliver the Chayah Club Services you have requested), and “legitimate interests.” 

Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline your consent at any time, and where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object. If you have any questions about the lawful bases upon which we collect and use your personal data, please get in touch with us.

5.4. Direct Marketing and Do Not Track Signals

Our statements regarding direct marketing and “do not track” signals. We currently do not share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your permission.

If you are outside the Designated Countries, we also collect (or rely on others who collect) information about your device where you have not engaged with our Services (e.g., ad ID, IP address, operating system, and browser information) so we can provide our Members with relevant ads and better understand their effectiveness. You can opt out of our use of data from cookies and similar technologies that track your behavior on the sites of others for ad targeting and other ad-related purposes.

1.5 Your Device and Location

We receive data through cookies and similar technologies. When you visit or leave our Services (including some plugins and our cookies or similar technology on the sites of others), we receive the URL of both the site you came from and the one you go to and the time of your visit. We also get information about your network and device (e.g., IP address, proxy server, operating system, web browser and add-ons, device identifier and features, cookie IDs and/or ISP, or your mobile carrier). If you use our Services from a mobile device, that device will send us data about your location based on your phone settings. We will ask you to opt in before we use GPS or other tools to identify your precise location.

1.6 Messages

If you communicate through our Services, we learn about that. We collect information about you when you send, receive, or engage with messages in connection with our Services. For example, if you get a Chayah Club connection request, we track whether you have acted on it and will send you reminders. We also use automated scanning technology on messages to support and protect our site. For example, we use this technology to suggest possible responses to messages and to manage or block content that violates our User Agreement or Community Policies from our Services.

1.7 Church, Workplace, and School-Provided Information

When you or your sponsored organization (e.g., employer, church, or school) buys a paid Service for you to use, they give us data about you. Others buying our Services for your use, such as your employer or your school, provide us with personal data about you and your eligibility to use the Services they purchase for use by their workers, students, or alumni. For example, we will get contact information for administrators and for authorizing users of our paid Services, such as our coaching, consulting, or learning products.

1.8 Sites and Services of Others

We get data when you visit sites that include our cookies, or some of our plugins or when you log in to others’ services with your Chayah Club account. We receive information about your visits and interaction with services provided by others when you log in with Chayah Club or visit others’ services, including some of our plugins or our cookies, or similar technologies.

1.9 Other

We are improving our Services, which means we get new data and create new ways to use data. Our Services are dynamic, and we often introduce new features, which may require collecting new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we collect, use or share your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Policy. 

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide, support, personalize and develop our Services. How we use your personal data will depend on which Services you use, how you use those Services, and the choices you make in your settings. We use the data we have about you to provide and personalize our Services, including with the help of automated systems and inferences we make so that our Services (including ads) can be more relevant and valuable to you and others.

2.1 Services

Our Services help you connect with others, find and be found for work and business opportunities, stay informed, get training, and be more productive. We use your data to authorize access to our Services and honor your settings.

Stay Connected

Our Services allow you to stay in touch and up to date with colleagues, partners, clients, and other professional contacts. You can “connect” with the professionals you choose and wish to “connect” with you. Subject to your and their settings, when you connect with other Members, you can search each others’ connections to exchange professional opportunities. We use data about you (such as your profile, profiles you have viewed, or data provided through address book uploads or partner integrations) to help others find your profile, suggest connections for you and others (e.g., Members who share your contacts or job experiences) and enable you to invite others to become a Member and connect with you. You can also opt-in to allow us to use your precise location or proximity to others for specific tasks (e.g., to suggest other nearby Members for you to connect with, calculate the commute to a new job, or notify your connections that you are at a professional event). Whether you invite someone to our Services, send a connection request, or allow another Member to become your connection is your choice. Inviting someone to connect with you will include your network and basic profile information (e.g., name, profile photo, job title, region, and wellness information). We will send invitation reminders to the person you invited. You can choose whether or not to share your own list of connections with your connections.

Visitors have choices about how we use their data.

Stay Informed

Our Services allow you to stay informed about news, events, and ideas regarding spiritual, personal or professional topics you care about and from professionals you respect. Our Services also allow you to improve or learn new spiritual, personal, or professional skills. We use the data we have about you (e.g., data you provide, data we collect from your engagement with our Services, and inferences we make from the data we have about you) to personalize our Services for you, such as by recommending or ranking relevant content and conversations on our Services. We also use our data about you to suggest skills you could add to your profile and skills you might need to pursue your next opportunity. So, if you let us know that you are interested in a new skill (e.g., by watching a learning video), we will use this information to personalize content in your feed, suggest that you follow certain members on our site, or suggest related learning content to help you towards that new skill. We use your content, activity, and other data, including your name and photo, to notify your network and others. For example, subject to your settings, we may notify others that you have updated your profile, posted content, taken a social action, used a feature, made new connections, or were mentioned in the news.

Courses

Our Services allow you to explore courses, evaluate educational opportunities, and seek out and be found for spiritual, personal, or professional development opportunities. Your profile can be found by those looking to connect, encourage, or be encouraged by you. We will use your data to recommend services, skills, or mentees and show you and others relevant contacts. You can signal interest in growth opportunities and share information with coaches. We will use your data to recommend services to you and to coaches. We may use automated systems to provide content and recommendations to help make our Services more relevant to our Members, Visitors, and customers. Keeping your profile accurate and up-to-date may help you better connect to others and opportunities through our Services.

Productivity

Our Services allow you to collaborate with colleagues and search for potential clients, customers, partners, and others to do business with. Our Services allow you to communicate with other Members and schedule and prepare meetings with them. If your settings allow, we scan messages to provide “bots” or tools that facilitate scheduling meetings, drafting responses, summarizing messages, or recommending the next steps. 

Premium Services

Our paid Services or donation help paying users access our exclusive content and Services, such as coaching, consulting, branding, learning, and promoting content through social. We offer paid Services, subscriptions, donations, and sales of products and books that provide our customers and subscribers with customized search functionality and tools (including messaging and activity alerts) as part of our strategy or solutions. Customers can export limited information from your profile, such as name and the general location, to manage leads or skills development unless you opt-out. We do not provide contact information to customers as part of these premium Services without your consent. Paid Services or donation customers can store information about themselves in our paid Services, such as a resume, contact information, or sales history.

Communications

We contact you and enable communications between Members. We offer settings to control what messages you receive and how often you receive some types of messages. We will contact you through email, mobile phone, notices posted on our websites or apps, messages to your Chayah Club inbox, and other ways through our Services, including text messages and push notifications. We will send you messages about the availability of our Services, security, or other service-related issues. We also send messages about how to use our Services, network updates, reminders, job suggestions, and promotional messages from our partners and us. You may change your communication preferences at any time. Please be aware that you cannot opt out of receiving service messages from us, including security and legal notices. We also enable communications between you and others through our Services, including invitations, direct messengers, groups, and messages between connections.

Customer Support

We use data to help you fix problems. We use data (including your communications) to investigate, respond to and resolve complaints and Service issues (e.g., bugs).

Insights That Do Not Identify You

We use data to generate insights that do not identify you. We use your data to produce and share insights that do not identify you. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about our members, their spirituality or profession, or industry, calculate ad impressions served or clicked on, publish visitor demographics for a Service, or create demographic metrics and insights.

2.9 Security and InvestigationsWe use data for security, fraud prevention, and investigations. We use your data (including your communications) for security purposes or to prevent or investigate possible fraud or violations of our User Agreement and/or attempts to harm our Members, Visitors, or others.

3. How We Share Information

3.1 Our Services

Any data you include on your profile and any content you post or social action (e.g., likes, follows, comments, shares) you take on our Services will be seen by others, consistent with your settings.

Profile

Your profile is fully visible to all Members and customers of our Services. Subject to your settings, it can also be visible to others on or off of our Services (e.g., Visitors to our Services or users of third-party search engines). Your settings, degree of connection with the viewing Member, the subscriptions they may have, their usage of our Services, access channels, and search types (e.g., by name or by keyword) impact the availability of your profile and whether they can view specific fields in your profile.

Posts, Likes, Follows, Comments, Messages

Our Services allow the viewing and sharing of information through posts, likes, follows, and comments.

When you publicly share an article or a post (e.g., an update, image, video, or article), it can be viewed by everyone and re-shared anywhere (subject to your settings). Members, Visitors, and others will be able to find and see your publicly-shared content, including your name (and photo if you have provided one).In a group, posts are visible to others in the group. Your group membership is public and part of your profile, but you can change visibility in your settings. Any information you share through companies’ or other organizations’ pages on our Services will be viewable by it and others who visit those pages. When you follow a person or organization, you are visible to others and that “page owner” as a follower. We let senders know when you act on their message, subject to your settings where applicable. Subject to your settings, we let a Member know when you view their profile. When you like, re-share, or comment on another’s content (including ads), others will be able to view these “social actions” and associate it with you (e.g., your name, profile, and photo if you provided it). Your church or purpose-driven employer can see how you use the Services they provide for your spiritual, personal, or professional development (and related information. We will not show them your job searches or personal messages.

Enterprise Accounts

Your church or purpose-driven employer may offer you access to our enterprise Services. Your church or purpose-driven employer can review and manage your use of such enterprise Services. Depending on the enterprise Service, before you use such Service, we will ask permission to share relevant data from your profile or use of our non-enterprise Services with your church or purpose-driven employer. We understand that certain activities, such as prayer requests, testimonies, life adversities, and personal messages, are sensitive. So we do not share those with others unless you share them with them through our Services.

3.2 Communication Archival

Regulated Members may need to store communications outside of our Service. Some Members (or their employers) need, for legal or professional compliance, to archive their communications and social media activity, and will use the services of others to provide these archival services. We enable archiving of messages by and to those Members outside our Services. For example, a financial advisor needs to archive communications with her clients through our Services to maintain her professional financial advisor license.3.3 Others’ ServicesYou may link your account with others’ services so that they can look up your contacts’ profiles, post your shares on such platforms, or enable you to start conversations with your connections on such platforms. Excerpts from your profile will also appear on the services of others. Subject to your settings, other services may look up your profile. When you link your account with other services, personal data will become available to them. Sharing and using that personal data will be described in, or linked to, a consent screen when you opt to link the accounts. For example, you may link your social media account to share content from our Services with these other services. Alternatively, your email provider may allow you to upload your Chayah Club contacts into its own service. Third-party services have their own privacy policies, and you may be permitting them to use your data in ways we would not. You may revoke the link with such accounts. Subject to your settings, excerpts from your profile will appear on the services of others (e.g., search engine results, mail and calendar applications that show a user limited profile data of the person they are meeting or messaging social media aggregators, spiritual facilitators, and lead managers). “Old” profile information remains on these services until they update their data cache with changes you made to your profile.

3.4 Related Services

We share your data across our different Services and Nikimac-affiliated entities. We will share your personal data with our affiliates to provide and develop our Services. We may combine information internally across the different Services covered by this Privacy Policy to help our Services be more relevant and valuable to you and others. For example, we may personalize your feed or job recommendations based on your learning history.

3.5 Service Providers

We may use others to help us with our Services. We use others to help us provide our Services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing, and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.

3.6 Legal Disclosures

We may need to share your data when we believe it’s required by law or to help protect the rights and safety of you, us, or others. It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) investigate, prevent or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities or to assist government enforcement agencies; (2) enforce our agreements with you; (3) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (4) protect the security or integrity of our Services (such as by sharing with companies facing similar threats); or (5) exercise or protect the rights and safety of Chayah Club, our Members, personnel or others. We attempt to notify Members about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague, or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.

3.7 Change in Control or Sale

We may share your data when our business is sold to others, but it must continue to be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger, change in control, or preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy unless you agree otherwise.

4. Your Choices & Obligations

4.1 Data Retention

We keep most of your personal data until your account is open. We generally retain your personal data as long as you keep your account open or as needed to provide you with Services. This includes data you or others provided and data generated or inferred from your use of our Services. Even if you only use our Services when looking for encouragement or participating in our events and programs every few years, we will retain your information and keep your profile open unless you close your account. Sometimes, we retain certain information (e.g., insights about Services use) in a depersonalized or aggregated form.

4.2 Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

You can access or delete your personal data. You have many choices about collecting, using and sharing your data. We provide many choices about the collection, use, and sharing of your data, from deleting or correcting data you include in your profile and controlling the visibility of your posts to advertising opt-outs and communication controls. We offer you settings to control and manage the personal data we have about you. For personal data that we have about you, you can:

• Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data (e.g. if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you).

• Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account. You can also ask us to change, update or fix your data in some instances, mainly if it’s inaccurate.

• Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g. if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

• Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your personal data and request a copy of the personal data you provided in machine-readable form.

4.3 Account Closure

We keep some of your data even after you close your account. If you choose to close your Chayah Club account, your personal data will generally stop being visible to others on our Services within 24 hours. We generally delete closed account information within 30 days of account closure, except as noted below. We retain your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse (e.g., if we have restricted your account for breach of our Community Policies), enforce our User Agreement, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us. We will retain de-personalized information after your account has been closed. Information you have shared with others (e.g., through messages, updates, or group posts) will remain visible after you close your account or delete the information from your profile or mailbox. We do not control other Members’ data copied out of our Services. Group content and ratings or review content associated with closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source. Your profile may continue to be displayed in the services of others (e.g., search engine results) until they refresh their cache.

5. Other Important Information

We monitor for and try to prevent security breaches. Please use the security features available through our Services. We implement security safeguards designed to protect your data, such as HTTPS.
