Non-Personal Information. When you interact with the Archdiocese via this Website, the Archdiocese receives and stores certain personally non-identifiable information (“Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information, which is passively collected using various technologies, cannot be used to identify a specific user. The Archdiocese may store such information itself or in databases owned and maintained by Archdiocesan affiliates, agents, or service providers. The Archdiocese may aggregate personally non-identifiable information.
Cookies. In connection with the operation of this Website, the Archdiocese may employ the use of technology commonly known as “cookies.” A “cookie” is an element of data that a website can send to the Internet browser of a visitor to that website. A “cookie” is not a computer program and has no ability to read data residing on the visitor’s computer or instruct it to perform any step or function. The “cookie” does not extract any Personal Information.
Use of Information Collected
The Archdiocese uses Personal Information a visitor provides in a manner consistent with this Policy. If a visitor provides Personal Information for a specific reason, the Archdiocese will use the Personal Information for the purpose it was provided. The Archdiocese, its subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents may use Personal Information and Non-Personal Information collected through the Website to improve the content and functionality of the Website.
The Archdiocese may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect or defend the rights or property of the Archdiocese, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of visitors to the Website, or (iv) protect against legal liability.
Disclosure of Information Collected
The Archdiocese will not sell, license, transmit, or disclose information collected to parties unaffiliated with the Archdiocese unless such sale, license, transmittal, or disclosure is expressly authorized by the visitor or required or permitted by law. In all cases, the Archdiocese will disclose information collected consistent with applicable laws and regulations, and will require the recipient of such information to protect the information and use it only for the purpose it was provided.
