The Episcopal Church collects the personal information that you make available via our website, including first and last name, email address, phone number, other contact details, news stories, survey responses, photos, payment information, and cookie data. We also collect some information automatically about your computer hardware and software, which can include IP address, browser type, domain name, access times, and referring website addresses. The information that we automatically collect does not by itself identify specific individuals and is statistical data typically aggregated with other data to help us improve our website. The Episcopal Church collects your information when you provide consent; for purposes which are required by law; and for the purposes of responding to requests by government, a court of law or law enforcement authorities conducting an investigation.

The Episcopal Church uses your information where it is necessary to fulfill our legitimate interests, which include operating our websites, providing information and services described on our website, communicating with you via newsletters to which you subscribe, fulfilling contracts made with you, responding to your comments or questions, and informing you of areas of interest or services available.

The Episcopal Church retains your personal information for as long as is necessary to provide the services to you and to comply with legal obligations. If you no longer want the Episcopal Church to use your personal information, you can request that we erase your personal information by contacting info@episcopalchurch.org; however, the Episcopal Church will retain information as is necessary for our legitimate business interests. If you have questions about our privacy practices, please contact webmaster@episcopalchurch.org.

Some functions on our website are managed by third parties, which have their own data privacy policies. The Episcopal Church encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from EpiscopalChurch.org and its family of websites so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. The Episcopal Church is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Episcopal Church family of websites or the websites to which we provide a link.
