i know this is off topic but I worked for a company(huge fortune 500) that got hit for lossing private data. I would be concerned about security for this. It sounds like you will be storing or have access to personally identifiable information.

[en.wikipedia.org...]


Items which might be considered PII include, but are not limited to, a person's:

* Full name (if not common)
* National identification number
* Telephone number
* Street address
* E-mail address
* IP address (in some cases)
* Vehicle registration plate number
* Driver's license number
* Face, fingerprints, or handwriting
* Credit card numbers
* Digital identity

Laws can be different from country to country and I would be sure that you are putting enough resources into locking that down if you have access to personal information. I have seen nonprofits get more info than they should be which can put you in a sticky place if you are housing the server. Just something to think about.
