These personal details will usually not be any more detailed than your name, e-mail address, mailing address or phone number.
Unlike most web sites, we do not use cookies, web beacons, or other technical means to collect non-personal information about your visit to our Site. The only information we collect about you is that which you voluntarily provide.

• To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature
How do we protect your information?
We recognize the importance of privacy and the security of personal information in the online world. Because of this, we use a combination of administrative, technical and physical measures designed to protect your personal information. However, even with the best of efforts, because of the inherently open nature of the Internet, it is important to understand that we cannot guarantee the security of this Site or your information.
Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information for their own marketing or business purposes. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others' rights, property, or safety. We may also transfer your personal information to another entity if ownership or control of the Site should change.
Third party links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our Site. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies, even though some of these web sites may be affiliated with the Diocese of Oakland or other entities of the Roman Catholic Church. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Site and welcome any feedback about these sites.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.
However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing customer’s personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right.
As stated here, we do not share information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure. If you do ask us to share your information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will only share information in connection with that specific promotion, as we do not share information with any third party on a continual basis. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide personally identifiable information on one of our sites. Please note that whenever you opt in to receive future communications from a third party, your information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. If you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as we have no control over how third parties use information. You should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects your information to determine how that entity will handle your information.
California customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing csdo@csdo.org. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through this e-mail address.
Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our Site, information and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we decide to change this Policy, we will post those changes on this page, and/or update the Privacy Policy modification date below. If the changes are material, we will also highlight the Privacy Policy link to indicate that you should look at it again. Policy changes will apply only to information collected after the date of the change.
