OregonChurch.net – Data and Privacy Policy
1. Data Sources
All church listings and map data displayed on OregonChurch.net are derived exclusively from public, open-data sources such as:
• OpenStreetMap (OSM) and other projects under the Open Database License (ODbL), and
• Official church websites or other materials published publicly by each congregation.
No information has been taken from proprietary services, nor from any private databases or restricted sources. Any data errors or omissions reflect limitations or updates in these public data sets, not private collection.
2. Purpose and Use of Content
OregonChurch.net is a privately maintained informational and research project. Any summaries, notes, or commentary are provided as editorial or journalistic interpretation—intended to organize, clarify, and contextualize publicly available information for easier reference.
This site does not claim to speak on behalf of any church or organization listed.
3. Privacy
OregonChurch.net does not require registration and does not collect personal identifying information from visitors. Basic, anonymous analytics may be collected automatically by the hosting service for the purpose of performance monitoring and site improvement.
4. Correction and Verification Policy
Church representatives or users who wish to correct or remove inaccurate information may contact the site administrator through the Contact page. All requests will be reviewed by the site owner, and reasonable, verifiable corrections will be applied as appropriate.
Preferred verification includes a reference to information published on the church’s official website. If such reference is unavailable, verification may be provided through an official email address associated with the church, with follow-up confirmation to ensure authenticity. Requests lacking official or verifiable sources will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and no assurance can be given that suggested changes will be accepted.
