Flock BookPrivacy policy
Last updated 3 November 2026
Who we are
Flock Book (flockbook.app and the Flock Book phone app) is provided by Gerizim Digital Ltd, the data controller for the account information described here. A church that uses Flock Book controls the records it enters about its own families and members; we process those records on the church’s behalf so that the service works.
What we collect
- Your account: name, email address, and the church you belong to and your role in it.
- Church records your team enters: families and members, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, wedding, baptism and remembrance days, pastoral visits, prayer requests, follow-up tasks, events, Sunday check-ins, expense and income records (with who paid or received the money), and photos you choose to add.
- Messages and requests you send us: what you write to our support team, any request to delete or export your data, and our replies, with your name, email address and church.
- App information: device type and model, system and app version, when the app was last used, and notification tokens, so we can send the reminders you ask for, see which versions are in use and keep the app working.
- Membership: if your church pays for a membership, Stripe handles the card details. We receive only the membership status, plan and renewal date — never the full card number.
How we use it
- To run Flock Book for your church: show your records to your team, work out special days, and send the morning brief and reminders you switch on.
- To manage your church’s free trial, membership and any access code.
- To answer your questions and keep the service secure.
We do not sell your information, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share one church’s records with any other church.
Who can see your church’s records
Only the people your church invites to its team. Each team member’s role (Senior Pastor, Church Admin, Pastor, Team Member or Viewer) decides what they can add, change or only view. A small number of Gerizim Digital staff can reach account information when needed to provide support or keep the service running.
Where it is stored
Records are stored with Google Firebase in its europe-west2 data centre, protected by access rules so that only members of your church can read your church’s records. Payments are processed by Stripe. Both act as our service providers under their own data-protection terms.
If you sign in with Google or Apple, they confirm who you are. Notifications you switch on are delivered through Expo, Apple and Google. If you press Translate in the teleprompter, the script text you chose is sent to an outside translation service (Google Translate or MyMemory); no other church records are sent.
How long we keep it
We keep your church’s records while your church uses Flock Book. If a trial or membership ends, records are kept safe so that your church can continue later. You can ask us to delete your account or your church’s records at any time — see Delete account.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete the personal information we hold about you. Members of a church who want their details changed or removed can ask their church, or write to us and we will pass the request to the church.
Children
Flock Book accounts are for church leaders and team members aged 18 or over. A church may record children as members of a family; the church is responsible for having the family’s agreement to keep those details.
