Privacy Policy

“Nevill's Chapel Social” is the set of tools Nevill's Chapel Baptist Church (“the church”, “we”) uses to share sermon clips, Scripture videos, announcements and events on the church's own social media accounts, and to manage the church's own YouTube channel. It includes the church's Google connection named “NCBC YouTube HQ”. This page explains, in plain words, what these tools do with information. It covers these tools only; the church website's own forms and church apps are not part of it.

The short version

• Nevill's Chapel Social works only with the church's own accounts on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. It posts the church's content and reads the statistics for the church's own posts and videos so we can tell what helps people.
• We do not sell, rent or trade any information, and we do not use it for advertising.
• We do not build profiles of the people who watch or follow the church's posts. We use the totals the platforms report.
• You can ask us to delete information at any time by emailing office@nevillschapel.org.

What the platform connections do

A church leader signs in to each platform once and gives Nevill's Chapel Social permission to act for the church's account. The tools then use each platform's official API.

YouTube (YouTube Data API, YouTube Analytics API and YouTube Reporting API, through Google sign-in as “NCBC YouTube HQ”)

• Uploads videos (service recordings, sermon clips and Shorts) to the church's YouTube channel.
• Manages the church's own videos and channel: titles, descriptions, thumbnails, playlists, captions and video settings.
• Reads comments on the church's own videos so church staff can see them, and replies to, hides or removes comments only when church staff ask for it.
• Reads the church channel's statistics and reports from YouTube Analytics, such as views, watch time, subscribers, traffic sources, and revenue if the channel ever earns any.
• It does not read your Gmail, contacts, Drive or anything outside the church's YouTube channel.

TikTok (TikTok Login Kit and Content Posting API)

• Reads the church account's basic profile (display name and account ID) to confirm the connection.
• Uploads the church's videos to the church TikTok account as drafts, which a church staff member reviews and posts in the TikTok app.
• Reads the list of the church's own videos and their view, like, comment and share counts.

Facebook, Instagram and Threads (Meta APIs)

• Publishes posts, photos, videos and reels to the church's Facebook Page, Instagram account and Threads profile.
• Reads basic information about the church's Page and accounts, and the insights (reach, views, reactions, comment and share counts) for the church's own posts.

On every platform, Nevill's Chapel Social works only with accounts the church owns. It does not post to anyone else's account, send private messages, or follow or unfollow people.

What we store

• Sign-in tokens the platforms issue when a church leader connects an account. They are kept in protected files on private servers run for the church, and are never shown on screen, emailed or shared.
• The church's own posts and videos: the captions, videos and images we publish, when they went out, and the IDs the platforms return.
• Statistics: totals such as views, watch time, likes, comments, shares and subscribers. We do not keep the names or profiles of the people who interact with a post.
• Recordings of church services that are turned into clips. People who take part in a service may appear in these videos, just as they would on the church's livestream.
• Transcripts of the preaching, made by speech recognition, used to choose sermon clips and to write titles and short summaries.

How we use it

Only to run the church's own social media and YouTube channel: to publish and manage the church's posts and videos, to keep track of what has been posted, and to learn which content, days and times reach the most people. Nothing is used for advertising, for profiling individuals, or for anything unrelated to the church's ministry.

No selling or sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade or give away any information. Information is shared only:

• with the platform itself, when we publish to it (for example, a video uploaded to YouTube goes to Google);
• with the services that host and protect our tools (cloud server providers and Cloudflare), which process it only on our behalf;
• with an AI assistant (Anthropic's Claude) that works for church staff. It may read sermon transcripts and the church channel's statistics and video information to answer staff questions and carry out tasks they ask for, only on our behalf. Information from Google is never used to train AI models;
• with a private staff chat (Discord), where the tools send short status and error alerts to the people who run them; or
• if the law requires it.

Google API Services User Data Policy (Limited Use)

Nevill's Chapel Social's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In particular, information we receive from Google (YouTube) is used only to provide the features described on this page for the church. It is not transferred to anyone else except as needed to provide those features, to comply with the law, or as part of a merger or similar event with notice. It is not used for advertising and not used to train AI models. No person reads it unless the church has asked them to help, it is needed for security or the law, or the data has been made anonymous.

By connecting YouTube, the church also agrees to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's handling of the data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

TikTok and Meta

Use of TikTok through Nevill's Chapel Social is also covered by TikTok's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Use of Facebook, Instagram and Threads through Nevill's Chapel Social is also covered by Meta's Terms of Service, the Instagram Terms of Use, the Threads Terms of Use and the Meta Privacy Policy.

How long we keep it

• Sign-in tokens are kept only while an account is connected. When an account is disconnected, its tokens are deleted within 30 days.
• Post records and statistics are kept while they are useful for planning the church's posts, and no longer than 3 years.
• Statistics received from Google (YouTube) are deleted, together with the YouTube tokens, within 30 days after YouTube is disconnected or the church's access is revoked.
• Backups are overwritten on a rolling schedule, so deleted information leaves the backups within about 30 days.

Deleting your information or disconnecting

Email office@nevillschapel.org with “Data deletion” in the subject line and tell us what you would like removed. We will reply within 30 days, delete the information that applies to you, and confirm when it is done. If a request is about a post on one of the church's accounts, we can also remove the post itself where the platform allows it.

Access can also be removed directly on each platform at any time:

• Google / YouTube: your Google Account's third-party connections page.
• TikTok: Settings and privacy, Security and permissions, Apps and services permissions.
• Facebook / Instagram / Threads: the Business Integrations or Apps and Websites settings for the account.

Children

Nevill's Chapel Social is run by church staff and is not meant for children to use. We do not knowingly collect information from children through it.

Security

Tokens and records are kept on private servers behind sign-in, with every connection encrypted (HTTPS), and our tools remove anything that looks like a password or token from their logs. No system is perfectly secure, but we take care to protect what we hold.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the “last updated” date at the top.
