Privacy Policy

When a church is submitted to the 9Marks Church Finder, we collect the following information:

• Church name, address, and contact details
• Pastor name and email address
• Information about the church's beliefs, practices, and services
• Submitter name, email, and role

The information we collect is used to:

• Create and maintain church directory listings
• Verify church submissions and contact churches during review
• Communicate with submitters about the status of submissions
• Improve the Church Finder service

Approved church listings are publicly visible in the directory. Public listings include the church name, address, service times, website, and general contact information. Pastor email addresses and submitter contact information are not publicly displayed.

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Information may be shared with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Church Finder
• The public, for approved church directory listings described above

We use essential cookies to operate the site, such as admin authentication. We use Plausible Analytics for privacy-friendly, cookie-free website analytics. No personal data is collected by our analytics.

Church listing data is retained as long as the listing is active. If a church requests removal from the directory, we will remove the listing and associated data in a timely manner.
