Digital Contact Information Visibility Settings

Policy and Principles

“Members can restrict the visibility of their digital contact information. They do this by selecting privacy levels in their household profile. Stake and ward leaders should respect the privacy settings that members select. These leaders also ensure that information is used for approved Church purposes only” (General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 38.8.13).

Because of the scriptural mandate to number, name, and nourish all in Christ’s Church (see Moroni 6:4–5), those with some callings will be able to access data that a member has selected for limited visibility. Those with access include stake and ward organization presidencies and those who have been delegated responsibility to minister and be ministered to.

Procedures

To review your digital contact information visibility settings and update them according to your preferences, access your member profile in Member Tools or visit account.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

For additional information or questions regarding data privacy, visit the Data Privacy Office Help and Information page on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
