What we collect

• Visit data: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring site, and a random session identifier, used to count visits and find broken pages. Raw IP addresses are kept for 90 days, then aggregated or removed.
• Account data: name, email and a password hash when you choose to register. We email you to confirm your address, and you can unsubscribe from anything optional.
• Location: if you use a location-based search, your browser may ask your permission and pass your coordinates to this site only to run that lookup. We do not store your precise location history.
• Analytics: we use self-hosted, cookieless analytics. We do not use analytics to identify you personally.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not buy “identity resolution” data to email anonymous visitors.
• We do not let sponsors or advertisers change a church’s data or denomination label.

Advertising

Pages may show Google AdSense ads and clearly labelled sponsor placements. Ad providers may use cookies subject to their own policies. Where consent is required by law, we ask for it before serving personalised advertising.

Corrections to church data

Church listings contain publicly available information about organisations, not personal information about their members. If you are a church and want a listing corrected or removed, contact us — see About Our Data.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell personal information. To exercise any privacy request (access, deletion, correction), email webmaster@housesofworshiparoundme.com.
