Privacy Policy

Global Church Maps ("the platform") respects your privacy. This page explains what data we collect and why.

Download and click tracking

When you visit the download page or click a download/share button, we record the referral code, the page URL, the button clicked, your IP address, and your browser user agent, together with the time of the event.

For general page-view statistics we store only a one-way hashed (anonymised) version of your IP address — the raw IP cannot be recovered from it. No advertising trackers are used and no data is sold.

Why we collect this: IP address and user agent are stored to measure genuine interest in the BiblePro app, to understand which churches, pages and campaigns help people find the app, and to detect abuse or automated spam. This data is used for aggregate statistics only. We do not sell it or use it for advertising.

Visitor statistics (Google Analytics)

This site uses Google Analytics to measure traffic. It stores analytics cookies in your browser and sends Google the pages you visit, your approximate location (usually only the city), and your device and browser information. We use it only to understand overall trends — which pages people read and where they come from. We do not use it to identify individuals and we do not link it to your account.

If you prefer not to be counted, you can install Google's official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or block googletagmanager.com in your browser. Nothing on this site stops working if you do.

Cookies

This site uses a small number of cookies: one keeps you signed in, one remembers the language you chose, and the Google Analytics cookies described above. We use no advertising cookies and take no part in cross-site ad tracking.

Signing in with Google

If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google, and use them only to create and recognise your account here. We do not request your contacts, Drive, calendar or any other data, and we never sell or pass this information to anyone. You can revoke this site's access at any time in your Google account's third-party access settings.

Accounts and forms

If you create an account or submit a form, we store the information you provide (such as your name and email). Passwords are stored only as secure one-way hashes.

Church listings

Church information is collected from public sources or user submissions. Church representatives may request corrections or removal of their listing at any time via our contact email.
