Privacy Policy for 95555

Last updated February 2021

This Privacy Policy outlines how Clearstream, LLC (“we” or “us”) collect and use our users’ (“you” or “your”) personal information, which we gather from our website and our web-based software and mobile app services (collectively referred to as “Clearstream”). We strive to ensure that any personal data we collect about you will be held and processed strictly in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, as set out in this notice.

This Privacy Policy also describes the choices you have regarding personal data we’ve collected about you. “Personal information” or “personal data” is any information that can be used to reasonably contact, link or identify someone.

Data processed by Clearstream can be classified in two ways:

  1. Data that has been collected by us for our own purposes; and

  2. Data collected by our users and used for their purposes. For example, your church may collect data about you and use this data to communicate with you.

This policy specifically covers data that is collected by us. We are not responsible for, nor do we have control over, the use of data that is collected by users of Clearstream.

By using Clearstream, you agree to the collection and use of your personal data in accordance with this policy. Terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Services, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
