This Policy is provided to inform you of the ways the Fulton Sheen Institute collects, uses, stores, transfers, and discloses your personal information. By providing your information, you agree to your personal information being processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect and how do we use it?

We collect some anonymous information that cannot be traced back to a specific individual. Our web servers automatically record the IP address of each visitor and track how many people visit. This anonymous information is used to administer and improve the website.

We may also ask you to provide personal information when you create an account, submit an inquiry, become a partner, make a purchase or donation, or engage with us for promotional purposes. Such information could include your name, postal address, phone number, email address, date of birth, marital status, credit card information, or other relevant details.

We also collect information about gift recipients solely to fulfill gift purchases — this information is not used for marketing. We only collect your personal information with your consent.

If you have opted in to receive our email newsletter, we may send you periodic emails. To opt out, contact us at [email protected].

How do we protect your information?

We take all reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal information using appropriate organizational, technological, and physical safeguards. Your information is contained behind secured networks and accessible only by persons required to maintain confidentiality.

All sensitive information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and encrypted in our databases. We only retain personal information for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected.

Do we use cookies or similar technology?

Yes. We use cookies and similar technologies (including Facebook pixel, Google Analytics, and Google AdWords) for the following purposes:

Authenticating and identifying you on our websites

Keeping track of information you have provided, such as favorites and shopping cart contents

Measuring your use of the website to tailor your experience

Helping keep your account and data safe and secure

Note that if you disable cookies, certain features on our site may not work as expected.

Do we disclose information to outside parties?

The Fulton Sheen Institute works in collaboration with the Fulton Sheen Institute. Your email may be provided to the Institute, limited in use and scope to the Institute's goals and mission.

Apart from this arrangement, we will not rent, sell, lease, or share personal information with outside parties, except in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes. This does not include website hosting partners and service providers who assist us in operating our website — they are contractually required to maintain confidentiality.

Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Anti-spam policy

We try to keep emails and digital communications to a minimum and give you the ability to opt in to any marketing communications. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email you receive from us.

Even if you have opted out of promotional communications, we may still contact you regarding transactions, services, or communications you have previously consented to receive.

Compromise of personal information

In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a security breach, The Fulton Sheen Institute will promptly notify you in compliance with applicable law.

European users and your rights

If you reside in the European Union, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, and request deletion of your data. To make such a request, contact us at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.

You also have the right to (i) object to our use of your personal information and (ii) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
