Privacy Policy

St. Francis Friends of the Poor is committed to protecting your privacy. We gather your information to make your experience at our website more convenient. We maintain the privacy of your information using security technologies and adhere to policies that prevent unauthorized use of your personal information.

What personal information do we collect, and how is it used?

We collect information on the portions of our website visitors access or visit.  We also collect information volunteered by visitors, such as survey information and/or website registrations.  Any personal information we collect is used for internal review and is either discarded or used by us to contact consumers for purposes such as those described below.  We keep confidential all personal information entered during registration.

When we collect personally identifiable information, it is always voluntarily submitted by you (e.g., when you fill out the registration page). The information collected is used to send our users email reminders and other information we think will be of interest.  If, for any reason, you would like to be removed from our email list, you can unsubscribe by simply clicking the unsubscribe link on any email we send you.

We may also monitor and track information such as member usage patterns on our website and social media platforms.  We compile this information into a statistical aggregate, which we use, together with your personal information, for internal business and administrative purposes, including improving our website, our operations, and our client service.

Protecting your privacy

As part of our commitment to ensuring the privacy of our users, we do not sell or exchange names or any other personally identifiable information about our email list with, for example, mass marketers.  We keep confidential any personal information entered during registration. However, we may share aggregate information about website usage and traffic patterns, stripped of any personally identifiable information, to third parties to comply with various reporting obligations and for business or marketing purposes. We may also share limited personally identifiable information with third parties on a confidential basis to enable a third party to perform certain tasks, such as maintaining an email list or newsletters on our behalf.
