Privacy Policy — DigitalShul Display App

This policy covers the DigitalShul Display app for Android. The DigitalShul app for shul members is covered by its own Privacy Policy, this website by our Cookie Policy, and the display service itself by our Terms & Conditions.

The short version

The Display app lets a shul’s Screen Manager set up the shul’s DigitalShul screen: its zmanim, its panel, its logo and its layout. To do that you sign in with a DigitalShul account, and what you set up is kept on our server, because that is where the screen reads it from.

What you put on the screen is meant to be seen: it is shown on your shul’s screen, in the shul. Your account details are seen only by DigitalShul and, where this page says so, by the other Screen Managers of your shul.

We do not sell your information, show you ads, or track what you do in the app. The app has no analytics and no advertising identifiers.

1. Who publishes the app

The app is published by International Business Link, Corp., a Florida corporation trading as DigitalShul. Contact details are at the end of this page.

2. Your account

The app needs a DigitalShul account: the same account as in the DigitalShul app for members, if you have one. We keep on our server:

• Your email address, which is your user name, and your password — stored only as a one-way hash, so nobody at DigitalShul can read it.
• Your first and last name and your phone number, if you gave them in the DigitalShul app. The Display app does not ask for them.
• On your phone, the key that keeps you signed in, held in the phone’s secure storage, and your language and dark-mode settings.

3. Managing a shul’s screen

• Asking to manage a shul’s screen. We keep your request, the shul, and whether it was approved. DigitalShul and the shul’s approved Screen Managers see your email, name and phone, to decide on it, and are told about it by email.
• Asking for a shul that is not in our directory. We keep the shul’s name and address as you type them, and, if your phone shares it, its approximate position and timezone at that moment, to place the shul on the map. DigitalShul reviews it.
• What you set up for the screen — the shul’s location and zmanim, the panel’s text and pictures, the logo, the layout — is kept on our server and shown on the shul’s screen. Pictures you upload are public to anyone who has their address, as they must be for the screen to show them. Do not upload anything you would not put up in the shul.
• A record of changes. Each change is recorded with the account that made it and the time, so a shul can know who changed its screen. If DigitalShul staff make a change while helping you, the record says so.

4. Location

The app asks for your phone’s location only to find shuls near you when you choose your shul, and to place a new shul you ask us to add. Your position is sent with that search or that request; searches are not stored. You can refuse the permission and type a city instead.

5. Seeing your screen

“See my screen” shows your shul’s screen inside the app as it is now. To show your own shul’s content in it, our server notes your phone’s internet address and browser identifier for 15 minutes, linked to your shul, and then forgets them.

6. Service providers

Our server runs on Amazon Web Services. The screens themselves are run by a digital-signage service we use: it receives the screen’s layout and settings, not your account. Emails about requests are sent through our email provider. These providers process information only on our behalf.

7. What the app does not do

• It does not show ads or use advertising identifiers.
• It does not sell or share your information for anyone’s marketing.
• It does not read your contacts, messages, photos (other than the one you choose to upload), microphone or camera.
• It does not use analytics or crash-reporting services.

8. Keeping and deleting your information

Your account. We keep it while you have it. To delete it, use Settings → Account → Delete account in the app, or write to sales@digitalshul.com from the account’s email address, or message us on WhatsApp. Deleting the account removes your email, password, name, phone and your Screen Manager role from our server. What you set up for your shul’s screen stays with the shul, which still needs it; the record of changes may keep the account’s number, without your email or name. Copies may remain in our database backups for a limited period, until those backups are replaced.

Your shul’s screen content is kept while the shul uses DigitalShul, and can be changed or removed by its Screen Managers at any time.

9. Children

The app is a tool for the people who run a shul’s screen. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly create accounts for anyone under 13.

10. Changes to this policy

If the app begins handling information differently, this page is updated before that version is released, and the date at the top changes.
