Privacy Settings
In your congregation, Church Social Administrators control the privacy settings. By default, information is visible, and people must request to have it hidden — this reflects how most churches want the settings to work. Privacy permissions can currently be set for all members in the church or for a specific person.
Setting Privacy for Everyone
The first is the global settings which are applied to ALL people. These can be found on the Security Settings page. Unchecking a setting here hides that information for everyone. For example, if you clear the Show maiden names option, maiden names will be hidden from all users except Administrators.
Setting Privacy for a Specific Person
The second option available to administrators is under the People section. Here you can search for the person whose settings you would like to modify, click on the person's name to open that person's settings page. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see the Access & Privacy section.
Once you click on this section a pop-up will appear where you can uncheck settings. For example if somebody does not want their age shown you can uncheck the Show age option for that person. Be sure to click the Save changes button to save the updated settings.
Here is a breakdown and description for what each setting does:
Visible - When deselected, this setting totally hides the individual and this person will not be visible anywhere in Church Social and will not receive any messages.
Show birthday - When deselected, this setting hides both the age in years and the date of birth (the day, month and year).
Show age - When deselected, this setting hides both the age in years and the year of birth for the individual.
Show anniversary - When deselected, this setting hides the marriage date and wedding anniversary.
Show address - When deselected, this hides the person's home address.
Show phones - When deselected, this hides the person's phone number.
Show email - When deselected, this hides the person's email address.
Show maiden name - When deselected, this hides the person's maiden name.
Show membership start date - When deselected, this hides the person's membership start date.
