The Archdiocese does not collect personally identifiable information through this website except when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis.

Other data we collect through this site is non-personally identifiable information and it cannot be used to identify you. Examples of this kind of information include your IP address, what pages on the site you view, your browser type, and so on. We use IP addresses (the Internet address of your computer) to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our web site. For instance, we run statistical software to identify which parts of our Web site are most heavily used and which portion of our audience comes from within the Archdiocese network. But, we do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

Like many organizations we also sometimes hire companies to perform certain business-related functions such as performing mailings, maintaining databases and processing payments. When we contract with another company to perform functions of this nature we only provide them with the information that they need to perform that specific function and we require them to keep that information confidential.
You may request details of personal information complied about you, correct such information, or ask the Archdiocese to delete your personal information from the Archdiocese database of users of the site by contacting the Archdiocese at [email protected].
