What we collect

Church Directories is a static informational website with no account system and no advertising trackers. The request forms on the site submit securely to our own system, and the only information collected is what you deliberately enter into a form, such as your name, contact details, and message.

Any information you submit is used only to respond to your request and arrange a directory consultation. It is not sold, rented, or used for purposes beyond that, in keeping with the privacy principles this guide advocates throughout.

Our stance on member and church data

This guide takes privacy seriously as a matter of principle, since it advises churches on handling members' photographs and contact details responsibly. The same standard applies to how we treat any information you share with us: use it only for its stated purpose, keep it secure, and never sell or repurpose it. Transparency about data is something we ask of directory providers, and we hold ourselves to it as well.

If you have questions about how your information is handled, the contact page explains how to reach us. For guidance on protecting member privacy in an actual directory, see the privacy and member data guide.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this site collect my personal data?
Only what you deliberately submit through a request form, such as your name and contact details. Church Directories does not otherwise collect, store, or process personal information, and there is no account system.
Will my information be sold if I use a form?
No. Any information you submit through a request form is used only to respond to your request and arrange a directory consultation, and it is never sold, rented, or repurposed, consistent with the privacy principles this guide advocates throughout.
Does this site track me for advertising?
No. The site is designed to operate as a static informational guide without tracking visitors for advertising and without an account system. If that ever changes, this privacy notice will be updated to describe it transparently, so you can always understand how any information is used.
How does this relate to protecting our church members' data?
Separately from this site's own privacy practices, the guide advises churches on handling members' photos and contact details responsibly, through consent, access control, secure storage, and not selling or misusing data. We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of providers. For practical guidance on member privacy in an actual directory, see the privacy and member data guide.

Church Directories is an independent informational guide to church photo and pictorial directories. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing any specific directory company, photography studio, or publisher. Content is general information to help church staff and volunteers plan a directory; it is not a quote, a contract, or a guarantee of any program, format, schedule, or result. Offerings, formats, timelines, and what is included vary by provider and change over time, so verify current details directly with any company you are considering before you commit.
