Privacy Policy

Information You Give Us

We receive and store information you provide into our database. We ask for personal information so that we can fulfill your request and return your message. If you choose not to provide any of that information, we may not be able to fulfill your request or complete your order.

All computers that receive or store personal information are secured by firewalls and other security measures. Additionally, sensitive data such as personally identifiable information - for example: phone number, address, social security number - are encrypted using SSL and other industry standard measures, to provide an additional level of security.

Personal data is collected when you visit with our volunteers either in person, by phone, or email, text or other correspondence.

We may use the information that you provide and that we gather for the following purposes:

To Provide Services to You: We use your information to fulfill requests as we are able. We also may use your non-personal information to send and process connection requests.

For Customer-Service Purposes: When we communicate with you, we may do so through the e-mail address that you provide to us, notices to your inbox, texts to your phone, and other means available as allowed by law. The types of communications may include reminders about upcoming events or urgent philanthropic needs.

To Personalize Your Services: We may use information provided by the user to further personalize the content and information. We may use your information to notify you about employment opportunities, news, and other opportunities from institutions that may be relevant to your interests.

We do not rent or sell our e-mail lists, although we may occasionally send correspondence on behalf or our trusted service providers and sponsors only to the extent required to fulfill purposes outlined above.

Your personal information will not be sold, traded, or rented outside the Society. Your personal information may be shared with our trusted service providers and sponsors only to the extent required to fulfill purposes outlined above. Non-personal information may be shared with third parties for the purpose of soliciting their philanthropic support, or for the purpose of improving our services, conducting data analysis or other business purposes. This information may be combined with information we collect from other sources, to the extent that the information remains anonymous.

Your personal data may be used to provide and improve our services and to meet any binding contractual or legal obligations regarding services provided by us or trusted service providers and sponsors.

We use industry standard security tools and measures, as well as internal guidelines and organizational procedures to prevent information misuse and data leakage. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means and procedures to protect the information, which considerably reduce the risks of data misuse, we cannot guarantee that our systems will be absolutely safe.

If you become aware of any security vulnerability or potential data breach, please contact Society of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Patrick Conference immediately at [email protected] or 636-327-8787, and we can take appropriate steps to address it.

If you have concern about privacy please send us a description of your concern to [email protected], and we will try to resolve it. Changing business practices and circumstances may require that we make changes to this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be updated on this document. We reserve the right to change these terms. All changes are effective immediately. We encourage you to check on this page so you may be aware of any changes, as they are binding.
