Christ Unites is a service of Christ Unites LLC, an Ohio limited liability company. Christ Unites is a church communication platform that helps churches connect with their congregations through text messaging, scheduling, and related tools. Our website is joinchristunites.com.
Beyond Google Analytics, this site uses no advertising pixels and no cross-site tracking cookies.
We use the information above to respond to your requests, schedule and confirm your appointments, operate the messaging service for your church, improve our website, and meet our legal obligations. Our basis for this is the agreement we have with you or your church (performance of a contract), your consent for text messaging, and our legitimate interest in running and improving the service. We never sell your personal information.
Program name: Christ Unites Messaging
What we send: we offer two separate categories of text messages, each with its own consent. Non-marketing messages: replies about your inquiry, pilot application communication, confirmations and reminders for demos and appointments you schedule, your meeting link, account setup, account-related service updates, and customer support. Marketing messages (only if you separately opt in): information about Christ Unites services, special offers, promotions, and product updates. Marketing text messages are never sent to anyone who has only opted in to non-marketing messages.
How consent is obtained: CHRIST UNITES LLC may collect a mobile number when you voluntarily supply it on one of our forms; supplying a phone number by itself is not SMS consent. SMS consent is collected separately, through two independent, optional, unchecked checkboxes — one for non-marketing messages and one for marketing messages. Checking either box is never a condition of submitting a form or purchasing. You may choose non-marketing only, marketing only, both, or neither. Non-marketing consent and marketing consent are recorded and stored separately. The consent language reads:
Non-marketing: “I consent to receive non-marketing text messages from CHRIST UNITES LLC about my inquiry, pilot application, scheduled demos and appointments, meeting reminders and links, account setup, account-related service updates, and customer support. Message frequency may vary. Message & data rates may apply. Text HELP for assistance, reply STOP to opt out.”
Marketing: “I consent to receive marketing text messages about Christ Unites services, special offers, promotions, and product updates from CHRIST UNITES LLC at the phone number provided. Message frequency may vary. Message & data rates may apply. Text HELP for assistance, reply STOP to opt out.”
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
To operate our service we use processors acting on our behalf — such as our CRM and messaging platform, telecommunications carriers, payment, hosting, and email providers. These providers process information only to deliver the service and never for their own marketing.
Each church's contacts and messages are held in that church's own account. One church's data is not accessible to any other church.
We do not send automated messages outside reasonable local hours, and churches can set their own quiet hours for their congregations.
Messages that appear to involve emergencies, self-harm, abuse, or medical, legal, or pastoral matters stop the automation and are routed to a human at the church. Our automation is not an emergency service and does not replace pastoral care.
You can request any of the following at any time:
To make a request, email contact@joinchristunites.com or call (513) 224-6900. We acknowledge requests within a few business days and complete them within 30 days in most cases.
We keep personal information for as long as it is needed to provide the service and meet our obligations. Records of consent and opt-outs are kept as compliance records even after other data is deleted, so that your opt-out continues to be honored.
We protect your information with encryption in transit, role-based access controls, and audit logs. We do not claim any certification or compliance badge, and no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
When we update this policy we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
