Privacy Policy

Overview

The Baptist Connect ("we", "this website/app") is a directory of independent Baptist churches in Australia and New Zealand. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

Information we collect

Church listings. The details shown for each church (name, address, contact details, service times) are publicly available information we gather so visitors can find and contact churches. This is directory information about organisations, not about you.

Account information. If you create an account, we store your name and email address to manage your login. Passwords are stored securely and are never visible to us.

How we use information

We use your account email to verify your account and, where necessary, to communicate with you about it. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.

Cookies and analytics

We use basic cookies to keep you signed in, and aggregate analytics to understand how the site is used (e.g. which pages are visited). This data is not used to identify individual visitors.

Third-party links

Church listings contain links to external websites and map services (e.g. Google Maps, Apple Maps). Once you leave our site, those services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account information at any time by contacting us. Church information can also be corrected or removed on request — we want the directory to be accurate and current.

Contact

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact details published on this site.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time; the date above shows the current version.
