Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 10, 2026
Midway Baptist Church in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee ("Midway," "we," or "our") provides the midwaybaptistsd.com website, Member Connect, and the Midway Church SD mobile apps for Android and iOS. This policy explains the types of information involved, why it is used, and the choices available to you.
Information we handle
Depending on the features you use, we may collect or maintain:
- Contact and church membership information: names, telephone numbers, email or mailing addresses, birthdays, anniversaries, and other information maintained in church records.
- Information you submit: membership information updates, visitor or prayer requests, event or fellowship reservations, messages, and other forms you choose to submit. Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in free-text fields.
- Account and access information: login credentials or codes, permissions, and session information used to limit access to member and administrative features.
- Technical information: limited device, browser, connection, and usage information that may be processed by hosting, security, authentication, or analytics services as part of providing the website and apps.
How we use information
We use information to maintain church records; provide member services and directories; display birthdays, anniversaries, and church events where appropriate; respond to inquiries and prayer requests; organize reservations and ministry activities; manage authorized accounts; protect and operate our services; and meet applicable obligations.
Who can access information
Some member information is made available through Member Connect to people who have access to that service. Authorized church leaders and administrators may access additional records when needed for church operations. Please do not share access credentials or member information outside its intended audience.
Service providers and sharing
We use technical service providers to operate our website and apps, such as website hosting, databases, authentication, and external integrations. Information needed to provide these services may be processed by those providers on our behalf. If you open external services or websites from our pages, their own privacy practices may apply. We do not sell member contact information to advertisers.
Mobile apps
The Midway Church SD mobile apps display our church website and Member Connect within an app interface. Information entered through the apps is handled by the corresponding website features. The apps also use platform functions, such as opening your device's phone, messaging, or email app when you select those actions. Using such a function does not itself send a message or place a call without your action.
Cookies and local storage
Our website or service providers may use cookies or device/browser storage to support logins, sessions, preferences, security, and site functionality. Browser or device settings may allow you to clear stored information, although this can affect some features.
Security and retention
We take reasonable steps to restrict access to information and protect the systems used for church operations. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Information is retained as needed for church operations, legitimate administrative purposes, and applicable requirements; retention may vary by record type. We review requests to correct or remove information as appropriate.
Children's information
Some church activities involve children and families. Parents or guardians should contact the church about information relating to a minor. This website and these apps are not intended as open social-networking services for children.
Your choices and privacy requests
You may request a correction to your membership information using the available Member Connect update form, or contact the church to ask about accessing, correcting, or removing information. Some records may need to be retained for legitimate church or legal purposes.
