Privacy Policy

The privacy notice for the Diocese of Westminster, by which we abide, can be found here: https://rcdow.org.uk/diocese/privacy-policy/

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

1. What information do we collect?

   We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

   1. information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website, such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views;
   2. information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services, email notifications and/or newsletters;
   3. any other information that you choose to send to us.
2. Cookies

   We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

   We may send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website's usability.

   Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy", and selecting "Block all cookies" using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one].

3. Using your personal data

   Personal data submitted on this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

   We may use your personal information to:

   1. administer the website;
   2. improve your browsing experience by personalising the website;
   3. enable your use of the services available on the website;
   4. send you general (non-marketing) communications;
   5. send you email notifications which you have specifically requested;
   6. deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website.

We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

1. Other disclosures

   In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may disclose information about you:

   1. to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
   2. in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
   3. in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk); and

Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.

1. Security of your personal data

   We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.

   Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

2. Policy amendments

   We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.

3. Your rights

   You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision of such information may be subject to the payment of a fee (currently fixed at £10.00).

   You may instruct us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes by email using our 'Contact Us' page at any time. (In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.)

4. Third party websites

   The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third party websites.

5. Updating information

   Please let us know if the personal information which we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.

6. Contact

   If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our treatment of your personal data, please write to us by email using our 'Contact Us' page or by post to Our Lady of Lourdes,
