1. How You Can Get Your Photo into the UUCF Photo Directory

Please remember:

  • Only one photo per household.
  • Close-up (head shot) photos are best

There are two ways to get your picture in the Photo Directory:

  1. Send one photo that includes you and any family members attached to an email to Bruce Fry, Administrator of the Directory, at . In your email provide each person's name in the photo from left to right. Also include the email of every adult. You cannot access the Photo Directory if you do not include your email. When the Administrator contacts you saying your photo is in the Photo Directory, you can proceed to step 2, "How to Sign into our Photo Directory from Your Smart Phone, Tablet, or Computer."
  2. Make an appointment to have your photo taken. Just contact Bruce at the email above or by calling 301-233-1001 and we will arrange a specific time that is convenient for you. Photos are taken in the Atrium by appointment before and after our Sunday service. It takes less than 5 minutes!

3. Security Facts From the Instant Church Directory Website

Your Instant Church Directory (ICD) account is protected by a username and password that only you should know. Search engines do not crawl any of the directory data located within the password-protected portion. We take your privacy very seriously. We are always making sure the Instant Church Directory website and databases are up to date with the latest security patches to protect against any current and future security threats.

  • Online Member Directory Security: We have a fully secure system for the online access just like the mobile app. Only members who are entered in the directory can login to the website, and when a member leaves UUCF they no longer have the ability to access the directory.
  • Mobile App Security: We built a fully secure system for all our mobile apps. Only active members can gain access to your directory, and access is revoked when a member leaves UUCF. We send down the member data from our server to the mobile devices via SSL/encryption. Once a device has synced, that data is stored locally on the device (and therefore is not encrypted).
  • Member Information Security: Even though your data is stored with us, we at Instant Church Directory do not access your members' data, except for specific troubleshooting purposes within the directory. All data provided by members is held securely and we do not use member information such as phone numbers or emails for marketing purposes (either internally or by selling the information to other organizations).
  • Data Storage and Security: Directory data is stored using a private cloud environment in a private data center (meaning it does not operate in a "share environment" with others).

We use industry best practices for securing and backing up our servers and data, including proactive 24-7 monitoring of our services for possible intrusions.
