Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This policy covers both songstack.church and app.songstack.church (together, “the Service”), operated by ninefootone creative ltd, a company registered in England and Wales.
1. What data we collect
When you create an account we collect your name and email address via Clerk, our authentication provider. If you are part of a church organisation on the Service, we also store the songs, plans, and files you upload.
We collect anonymised usage data (pages visited, features used) via Google Analytics to help us improve the Service. No personally identifiable information is sent to Google Analytics.
If you opt in during sign-up or via the feedback form, we may send you occasional product updates by email. You can unsubscribe at any time via your settings page or the unsubscribe link in any email.
2. How we use your data
- To provide and maintain your account and your church's song library
- To send essential service emails (e.g. invitations, password resets) via Clerk
- To analyse how the Service is used so we can improve it
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your data to third parties.
3. Data storage & security
Your account data is stored securely by Clerk. Song and plan data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Railway. Uploaded files are stored in Cloudflare R2. All data is encrypted in transit via HTTPS.
