Privacy Policy

Calvary Houston ("Church," "we," "us," or "our") operates the "CH Watch" channel/app (the "App"), which streams sermons and other church media on Roku and other platforms. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and your choices.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

The App does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) in order to watch content. There are no user profiles, comments, or social features in the App.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

To operate and improve the App, we automatically collect limited technical and usage information when you use it:

• Viewing activity — which messages/sermons are opened and how far playback progresses. This is used to understand which content is being watched and to support features like "resume playback."
• Device/network information — your device's IP address and platform type (e.g., "Roku") are processed briefly to prevent abuse (rate-limiting) and keep the service secure. IP addresses are not used to identify you personally and are not sold or shared with advertisers.

We do not use this information for advertising, and we do not sell or rent it to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party infrastructure to deliver content, including video hosting/streaming providers and, for live services, live-streaming platforms. These providers process data only as needed to deliver video to your device and are not authorized to use it for their own purposes.

The App is distributed through platforms such as Roku, Google Play, Amazon, and the Apple App Store, each of which has its own privacy practices governing your device and operating system. We encourage you to review those platforms' privacy policies as well.

If you visit our website (https://calvaryh.org) or use other church services (such as online giving, event registration, or prayer request forms), those may collect additional personal information under their own applicable privacy notices. This Privacy Policy covers only the App itself.

4. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the App. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information below so we can address it.

5. Data Retention and Security

We retain the limited usage information described above only as long as necessary to operate and improve the App, and we use reasonable technical safeguards to protect it. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Choices

Because the App does not require an account and does not collect personal information directly from you, there is generally no personal profile to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions about information associated with your device or IP address, you may contact us below.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App or applicable law. The "Effective date" above will be updated when changes are made. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
