PraiseCharts files and who can see them

Licensed charts stay private in Churchism. Any signed-in church member can open them except kids-only logins.

Charts imported from PraiseCharts stay private. Churchism stores the song metadata, license info, and the PraiseCharts download reference — not a permanent copy of the PDF. When a member opens a chart, Churchism re-fetches it with the connecting user's token and streams it. Web, iPhone, and Android never receive a PraiseCharts download URL or a Drive link.

Any signed-in member of this church can open PraiseCharts files and church-uploaded charts. Kids Club / kids-only logins cannot open any song file. Signed-out people and people from another church cannot.

If PraiseCharts says the file is no longer available, the song stays in the library and the file shows as unavailable. Churchism asks again after about five minutes, and right away after an admin reconnects. A revoked or disconnected connection is never served from cache.

Cached copies on a phone last through the setlist date, and no longer than 30 days. When the phone is online, Churchism re-checks with a HEAD request that does not download the file. That check includes PraiseCharts access and is cached for about five minutes. If access is gone, the copy is deleted. Signing out removes the copy. Drawings you make on a chart are saved for you, not by writing on the PraiseCharts PDF.
