# Community Development Terms

CivicPlus shall not be liable for the accuracy, content, interpretation, or use of the Services provided in association with this Agreement.

The Customer understands and agrees that the Community Development are not intended to collect, store, or process any SPII, credit card information, financial information, or protected health information. The Customer shall not collect or store any such information within the Services.

SPII includes, but is not limited to, data elements such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, passport numbers, biometric data, and any combination of data elements that could allow someone to uniquely identify an individual.

SPII **does not** include basic contact information, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, unless paired with additional sensitive data that elevates it to SPII.

Furthermore, the Services are not intended to be used for collecting or storing information subject to compliance with the PCI DSS or the HIPAA. The Customer acknowledges that the Services are not PCI or HIPAA-compliant and agrees not to use the Services for PCI or HIPAA-regulated purposes.

If the Customer uses the Services integration with [CivicPlus Payments (Pay)](/civicplus-help-center/docs/civicplus-payments), then the [CivicPlus Payments (Pay) Terms](/legal-center/docs/civicplus-payments-embedded-and-external-processor-terms) shall apply.
