Security improvement: safeguarding your account with new login method

This week we quietly released an upgrade to protect you and your church from an increasingly common security threat–“profile takeover” attacks.  This happens when a scammer tricks an admin into changing or adding contact info to a profile, and then uses the email or phone number to log into Planning Center. The new “login method” is a single email or phone number you use to log in. It’s a key only you control so scammers can’t use an alternate way into the account.  This change also makes edi

Privacy mode: Protect your church directory from scammers

Your online church directory is a gold mine for scammers.  One of the most common things we see our churches fall for is a scammer getting access to a directory, impersonating a pastor, and tricking members into giving them money.  The privacy mode option protects your congregation from scammers by not publicly listing emails and phone numbers.

You have people's donation records, background checks, medical notes, prayer requests; and if you use Check-Ins, children's regular times and locations. We do a lot to protect this precious data behind the scenes. In the coming months, we'll be releasing some security features to help you protect it even more. The first of these features have to do with the proverbial keys to the king

GDPR and Privacy Shield Compliance

GDPR and Privacy Shield Compliance

In preparation for May 25, when The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become effective in the EU, we released a statement outlining how Planning Center complies with the standards of both GDPR and Privacy Shield. GDPR provides people in the EU with new rights around the privacy and protection of their personal data, and creates new standards for the protection of that data. These standards apply to churches who collect personal information from their congregations, as well as org
