Privacy
Privacy overview
We collect only the information needed to operate the directory, review listings, process church representative requests, and communicate with people who contact us.
Information we collect
This can include church listing details, submitter contact information, church representative claim details, account information for admin or representative access, and messages sent through the site or related workflows.
How information is used
Information is used to review listings, publish approved church details, process access claims, maintain directory accuracy, send email updates, and support the admin and representative portals.
Email communication and consent
If you submit a church listing, claim a church, create an access account, or contact us through this site, we may email you about that request, related account access, listing review, annual verification, or support follow-up. Optional non-essential follow-up emails are opt-in where provided.
Opting out of non-essential emails
You may opt out of non-essential follow-up emails at any time by contacting support@findyourchurchpalacios.org. Transactional emails needed to complete an active submission, claim, account, or listing workflow may still be sent while that request is in progress.
Firebase and file storage
Find Your Church Palacios uses Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Storage, and trusted server-side Firebase Admin SDK operations to manage accounts, listings, uploaded media, and workflow records.
How long information is kept
We retain workflow records, listings, and account-related information for as long as needed to operate the directory, review requests, restore archived listings, keep audit trails, and respond to support questions. We aim to minimize unnecessary data while keeping enough information to operate responsibly.
Requesting corrections or deletion
If you need to request a correction, removal, or deletion related to a listing or your submitted information, contact support@findyourchurchpalacios.org.
