Davar Communities

How we handle your data

Last updated: April 23, 2026

Davar collects the minimum data needed to run the platform: your email, whatever you post, your Stripe information (handled by Stripe, not us), and your activity patterns to power the pastoral-attention features on the leader dashboard.

You can opt out of activity tracking in two ways — either Davar-only (private) or community-leader-visible. Find those options under Privacy & Data in settings.

We don’t collect religious-affiliation or denomination data. The Statement of Faith attestation is a yes/no, not a survey.

1. Who we are

Davar Communities (“Davar,” “we,” “us”) is operated by Solomon Websites Inc. We run the online platform at davarcommunities.com where Christian leaders host paid and free communities. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect about you, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you give us

  • Account information: your email address, display name, profile image (optional), and authentication method (Google, Apple, or magic link).
  • Community content: posts, comments, messages, community descriptions, uploaded images and video, and any other content you create or share on the platform.
  • Leader information: if you are a community leader, the legal and identification details required by Stripe for know-your-customer (KYC) verification, tax reporting information, and bank account details for payouts. This information is collected and stored by Stripe; Davar does not see or retain it.
  • Member payment information:if you subscribe to a paid community, your payment card is tokenized and stored by Stripe. Davar receives only a reference token, card last-four, and card brand — never the full card number.
  • Communications: when you contact support or reply to an email from us, we retain that communication so we can follow up with you.

2.2 Information we collect automatically

  • Usage data: pages and features visited, time spent, actions taken (posts read, reactions given, messages sent), and the community contexts you interact with. This powers the leader dashboard and platform analytics.
  • Device and log data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, and access timestamps.
  • Cookies and similar technologies:we use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and measure platform usage. See §7 below for details.

2.3 Information from third parties

When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, email, and a unique provider identifier from that service. We do not receive your password or any other account information.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the platform.
  • Authenticate you, keep you signed in, and secure your account.
  • Process payments (through Stripe) for community subscriptions and platform fees.
  • Power community-leader features including the pastoral-attention dashboard (Lives Touched, Who Needs You Today, and similar surfaces). You can opt out of individual activity tracking under Privacy & Data in your settings.
  • Send you transactional emails (magic-link sign-in, payment receipts, account notifications, community activity alerts).
  • Send you product updates and community announcements from Davar, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
  • Comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our legal rights.

4. How we share your information

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • With other community members and leaders: your display name, profile photo, posts, comments, and messages are visible within the communities you join. Visibility of your profile in the member directory is controlled by your settings.
  • With service providers who run parts of the platform for us:
    • Stripe, Inc.— payment processing, KYC, and payouts. See Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
    • Twilio SendGrid— transactional and marketing email delivery.
    • Cloudflare, Inc.— content delivery, DDoS protection, and media storage (R2 and Stream).
    • Railway Corp.— application and database hosting.
    • PostHog, Inc.— product analytics.
    • Sentry(Functional Software, Inc.) — error tracking.
    Each of these providers processes your data under their own contracts and privacy terms. We select providers with strong security practices and limit the data they receive to what they need to perform their service.
  • With community leaders:if you are a member of a paid or free community, the leader of that community sees your interaction history within their community (posts, comments, reactions, and whether you have been active). You can opt out of this visibility under Privacy & Data.
  • For legal reasons: we may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Davar, our users, or the public.
  • In a business transfer: if Davar is acquired, merged, or sold, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

5. Data retention

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide the platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. In practice:

  • Account data: retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period after account deletion to support legal and financial record-keeping.
  • Community content: retained while the community exists. When a community is archived or deleted, content is removed according to the community leader’s archive settings.
  • Payment records: retained for the period required by applicable tax and financial regulations (typically seven years).
  • Log and analytics data: retained for up to twenty-four months in identifiable form, then aggregated or deleted.

6. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal information:

  • Access— request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction— ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Deletion— ask us to delete your account and associated personal information, subject to our retention obligations.
  • Portability— request your information in a machine-readable format.
  • Objection and restriction— object to or restrict certain processing of your information.
  • Withdrawal of consent— withdraw your consent for processing that relies on consent, including unsubscribing from marketing emails.
  • California residents have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
  • European and UK residents have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@davarcommunities.com. We will respond within thirty days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for three purposes:

  • Strictly necessary: to keep you signed in, protect against fraud, and operate core platform functions.
  • Preferences: to remember your settings and personalize your experience.
  • Analytics: to understand how the platform is used in aggregate so we can improve it. Our analytics provider is PostHog; we configure it to not collect precise IP addresses or cross-site identifiers.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from signing in or using the platform.

8. Security

We protect your information with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+), encryption at rest for sensitive fields, access controls, signed session cookies, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us at support@davarcommunities.com immediately.

9. International data transfers

Davar is operated from the United States. When you use the platform from outside the United States, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we use appropriate legal mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your information during cross-border transfers.

10. Children’s privacy

Davar is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete that information. Community leaders are responsible for ensuring that their communities comply with laws applicable to minors in the leader’s jurisdiction, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) where applicable.

11. Third-party links and services

Communities may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing them with your information.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where required, notify you by email or through the platform. Your continued use of the platform after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
