Privacy and Online Church

We are committed to protecting the privacy of those who join us online and are continuing to learn about and put in place best practices. This page will be updated as needed.

Worship on Zoom and Facebook

Our Sunday morning worship is held via Zoom with a publicly available link. Our rector and our music director serve as “hosts” for the meeting and are responsible for security, giving screensharing permissions as needed, and for recording the service (Speaker View only). The recording does not include the pre or post-service check-in time. Worship attendees who keep their mics on mute are not captured in the recording.

The recorded Zoom service is edited and posted to the Church of the Ascension Facebook and Youtube pages later the same day. It is deleted from the Zoom cloud the following week and from Facebook and Youtube two weeks later. The files are stored on a password-protected computer.

With specific permission, elements of service recordings (e.g. sermons or presentations) may be posted separately on the church website or Facebook page and kept longer.

Other Zoom Gatherings

We provide a mix of publicly available and on-request Zoom meetings for study and fellowship. Regardless of how one obtains the Zoom link, all of the meetings are password protected and the hosts know how to use Zoom’s security features. These gatherings are not recorded unless explicitly stated otherwise.
