Help & Feedback

How are church visits recorded?

GeoChristi can record a church visit when your current location is close enough to the church and the location fix meets the required accuracy conditions.

Why does GeoChristi need location access?

Location access is used to show your position on the map, identify nearby churches, and verify eligible church visits while you are using the app.

Why can the direction indicator disappear?

The direction indicator may temporarily disappear when the device cannot determine a reliable movement direction. It returns automatically when reliable direction information becomes available.

Does GeoChristi use background location?

No. GeoChristi currently uses foreground location while relevant app features are in use.

Can I use GeoChristi without recording church visits?

Yes. Church discovery and map browsing do not require you to maintain an account-linked church visit history. Visit recording is an optional feature.

Are my saved church visits public?

No. Your individual saved church visits and detailed visit history are private to your GeoChristi account. GeoChristi does not display the individual churches you visited, visit dates or times, or your detailed visit history publicly or share those details with other users. GeoChristi currently displays private aggregate visit statistics within your account, such as churches visited, total visits, and countries visited. These aggregate statistics do not make your individual visit history public.

How can I delete my saved visit history without deleting my account?

Open Profile → Privacy → Request Visit History Deletion. Submitting the request does not delete anything immediately. GeoChristi verifies that the request comes from the account owner before permanent deletion is completed. After completion, saved visits and visit-derived progress are removed while your account, profile, and unrelated progress remain. You can also use the GeoChristi contact form or contact support@geochristi.com.

Why is church visit history treated carefully?

A pattern of account-linked visits to religious places can sometimes reveal or allow inferences about religious beliefs. GeoChristi does not use visit history to infer a user’s religion, denomination, or congregation membership and does not use it for advertising or behavioral targeting.
