Personal Data We Process

For the provision of our informational church directory, we may process the following categories of personal data:

Contact details provided voluntarily by users (e.g. email address when contacting us)

• Technical and usage data (IP address, browser type, operating system)

• Information about website usage (pages viewed, searches performed)

• Approximate location data (country or city level)

The website also uses cookies and similar technologies, including third-party cookies, for functionality, analytics, and advertising purposes, as described in the cookie policy.

Special Category Data and Religious Inference

EncuentraIglesias.com operates as a directory of religious institutions.

Although we do not ask users to directly disclose their religious beliefs, the voluntary use of certain site features (such as searches, interactions, location-based results, or usage patterns) may involve the processing of information from which religious preferences or beliefs could be inferred. Under the UK GDPR, such information may qualify as special category personal data.

This processing is carried out only with the user’s explicit consent, given through the voluntary use of these features, and solely for the purpose of providing the requested directory services.

Such information is not used for commercial profiling, religion-based advertising, or automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects.

Purposes of Processing

• Personal data is processed for the following purposes:

• Operating and maintaining the church directory

• Displaying relevant results based on user searches or location

• Responding to user enquiries and communications

• Improving website functionality and user experience

• Analysing website usage in aggregated form

• Displaying advertising and supporting site monetisation

• Ensuring platform security and preventing misuse

Legal Bases for Processing

• Personal data is processed on the basis of:

• User consent, particularly for cookies, advertising, and optional features

• Legitimate interest, for site security, abuse prevention, and basic analytics

• Contractual necessity, when a user requests a specific service or response

• Legal obligations, where applicable

Your Data Protection Rights

• Under the UK GDPR, users have the right to:

• Access their personal data

• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data

• Request erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

• Restrict processing

• Request data portability

• Object to processing

• Withdraw consent at any time

• Requests may be submitted to:

International Data Transfers

Personal data may be processed by technology service providers acting on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, or advertising providers like Google), whose servers may be located outside the United Kingdom.

Where such transfers occur, we apply appropriate safeguards, including UK-approved international data transfer mechanisms and contractual protections consistent with UK GDPR requirements.

Supervisory Authority

Users may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if they believe that the processing of their personal data does not comply with applicable data protection laws.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through the website.

Cordeo mobile app

Cordeo is our family mobile app. In Cordeo we protect minors as follows:

• We do not collect personal data from minors. Kids’ profiles (name or nickname, age and avatar) are stored only on the family’s device and are never transmitted to our servers or to third parties.
• Email accounts are for adults only. Settings, purchases and account management sit behind a parental verification whenever a kid profile is active.
• We show no third-party advertising in the app and use no third-party ad or analytics SDKs. The only banners promote features of the app itself.
• Notifications are local to the device (we do not use push notification tokens) and are configured by the adult.
• We do not request precise location from kid profiles; the “churches near you” feature runs in an adult session, in real time, and does not store location.
• A parent or guardian can delete kids’ profiles at any time from the device, or request deletion of the adult account by writing to info@encuentraiglesias.com.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes.

The most current version will always be available on this website.
