Effective Date: November 1, 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how United Faith Ministries, Inc. d/b/a Unite Health Share Ministries (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the WeShare mobile and web application (the “App”). This policy supplements and fully incorporates our general privacy policy, available at https://www.weshare.org/privacy-policy/  (the “General Policy”), and applies specifically to your use of the App.

By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information that we collect offline or through any other apps or websites, including websites you may access through this App. It also does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from the App. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third parties whose websites or services you access through our App.

2. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Residents of certain states may have additional rights with respect to our collection and use of personal information of minors under the ages of 13, 16, or 18. Please see the “Your State Privacy Rights” section below for more information.

3. Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information when you use the App:

1. Account Information

When you create or use an App account, we collect information you provide directly, including:

  • Name and contact information (email address, phone number)
  • Login credentials (username, membership ID, and password)
  • Membership details associated with your WeShare membership
  • Demographic information (which may include age, religion, marital status, sex gender identity, or sexual orientation)
  • Employer/work Information
  • Identification numbers
  • Billing and payment information related to your WeShare membership

  • App usage data (features accessed, screens viewed, time spent, actions taken)
  • Log data (IP address, access times, crash reports, performance data)
  • General location information derived from your IP address (not precise GPS location)


Cookies

When you use our App, we may use mobile cookies to collect information. Cookies help us recognize you when you return to the App, store your preferences, and improve your experience. You may refuse mobile cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your smartphone. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts or features of our App. Unless you have adjusted your browser or device setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you access the App.


Web Beacons

Pages of the App and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related App statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain App content and verifying system and server integrity).

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Provide and operate the App: authenticate your account, deliver features, and process transactions you initiate.
  • Process payments: update membership contribution information and maintain transaction records.
  • Communicate with you: send transactional messages, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support.
  • Send push notifications: deliver alerts, reminders, and updates relevant to your account and activity (you can manage these in your device settings).
  • Improve the App: analyze usage patterns to fix bugs, enhance performance, and develop new features.
  • Protect users and the App: detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
  • Comply with legal obligations: meet applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests.

5. Push Notifications

The App may send push notifications to your device to deliver account updates, reminders, and important information. You can enable or disable push notifications at any time through your device’s notification settings. Disabling notifications will not affect your ability to use the App, but you may miss time-sensitive information.

6. Payments and Payment Processors

The App allows you to update your billing information and obtain receipts of your membership. This is processed by our third-party payment processors. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers; we retain only the transaction details needed to fulfill your purchase, provide receipts, and meet our recordkeeping and tax obligations.

Payment processors handle your payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable payment industry standards.

7. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described below and in the General Policy:

Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics services to understand how users interact with the App. These providers may collect device identifiers, usage data, and similar information on our behalf. They are contractually limited to using this data to provide analytics services to us.

Service Providers

We share information with vendors who help us operate the App, including cloud hosting, customer support tools, push notification services, email delivery, and security services. These providers may only use your information to perform services for us.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, enforce our terms, protect the rights, property, or safety of WeShare, our users, or others.

8. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your App account is active or as needed to provide you with the App, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you delete your App account, your account data is removed in accordance with our retention practices, though certain records (such as transaction records) may be retained as required by law.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.
