Comments:

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media:

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) because visitors can download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies:

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and discards when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. So, for example, if you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. The login cookies delete if you log out of your account.

We strongly suggest that you log out after every session.

An additional cookie will be saved in your browser if you edit or publish an article. This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites:

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited another website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. In addition, the embedded content may include tracking your interaction if you have an account and log in to that website.

Who do we share your data with:

Your IP address is included in the reset email if you request a password reset.

We only share data collected on this website (https://www.sttimothysacc.com/) with the Church, Vestry, and Clergy.

How long we retain your data:

We retain comments and metadata if you leave comments. We can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights do you have over your data:

Suppose you have an account on this site or have left comments. In that case, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. The data does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where is your data sent:

We will check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.

The Events Calendar:

What personal data do we collect, and why do we collect it:

Event, Venue, and Organizer Information

If you create, submit, import, save, or publish Event, Venue, or Organizer information, we retain such information in the local database:

Venue information: name, address, city, country, state, postal code, phone, website, geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude)

  • Organizer information: name, phone, website, email
  • Event information: website, cost, description, date, time, image
  • Importing Events, Venues, and Organizers:
    • All data present within a CSV or ICS file and external URLs (for events, venues, organizers, and tickets)
    • Import origin data (URL from where events are being imported—such as Eventbrite, MeetUp, other compatible URL sources, and more, which can include similar, or the same data as listed above)

Eventbrite Ticket information: name, description, cost, type, quantity

Please note that a user must hold a website account on this domain to create new events through the Community Events submission form. We retain this information in the local database. Therefore, creating events is possible if the site owner has this option enabled.

When purchasing Eventbrite Tickets, attendee, purchaser, and order information are stored and managed by Eventbrite.

API Keys:

We make use of certain APIs to provide specific features.

These APIs may include the following third-party services: Google Maps (API key), Meetup (OAuth token), PayPal (email, Client ID, Client Secret), Eventbrite (API key, auth URL, Client Secret), and Zoom (email, Client ID, Client Secret).

Akismet:

We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL. (along with other information directly provided by the commenter, such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

Changes to this policy:

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time.

We may amend this Notice to consider changes to our processes, data protection, or other legislation. However, we deem you to have accepted these changes by continuing to use our website.
