We collect information that you provide directly to us, including when you create an account, claim a church listing, or contact us. This may include name, email address, and church affiliation.
We also collect and display church profile information, such as church names, addresses, service times, contact details, ministries, staff information, beliefs, photos, reviews, and other information submitted by churches, visitors, or our team for directory purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our services

- Send you technical notices and support messages
- Respond to your comments and questions
- Monitor site usage, troubleshoot issues, improve search quality, and protect the service from abuse
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with service providers who assist in operating our website and conducting our business.
4. Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use necessary cookies for authentication, account access, security, and dashboard features such as remembering the active church account. These cookies are required for the service to work properly.
We use limited browser storage only for user-requested functionality, such as saving a manually selected interface language or preserving dashboard website-builder drafts while a user is editing.
We use privacy-conscious analytics to understand site usage and improve ChurchStation. This includes Vercel Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, and internal server-side page-view analytics. Our public-page analytics do not rely on advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies.
Maps and embedded video players are not loaded automatically on public pages. If you choose to load a Google map, open directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps, play a video, or visit an external link, your browser will connect to that provider and the provider may receive information such as your IP address, browser or device details, the page or referrer URL, and any location information your browser or device settings choose to provide.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
Our service may contain links to third-party websites and services, including church websites, Apple Maps, Google Maps, YouTube, payment processors, and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external services.
