St. Andrew Roman Catholic Church (“St. Andrew”), as a non-profit charitable organization, is committed to enhancing the spirituality of its parishioners. With this in mind, St. Andrew is dedicated to maintaining high standards of confidentiality with respect to the information that has been provided to us. Our obligations apply to all priests, employees, volunteers, contractors and agents, who provide services to or on behalf of St. Andrew in connection with ministering to our parishioners.
Other applicable laws and internal policies govern the protection of personal information of employees and volunteer staff of St. Andrew. St. Andrew collects information about parishioners through its general registration form and does so to fulfill the objectives and mission of the church.
The achievement of St. Andrew’s mission involves, among other things, communicating with and determining the needs of its parishioners and ministering to them. St. Andrew also collects information about parishioners through registration forms for participation with a variety of ministries and services. As a general rule, all parishioner information is held in strict confidence and, except in limited circumstances, is not revealed to anyone unless expressly or implicitly authorized by the parishioner. It is understood that parishioner information is not and will not be provided to third party organizations for solicitation purposes.
There are circumstances where disclosure of personal information may be justified or permitted under a legal duty or right and St. Andrew may disclose parishioner information without consent. Personal information may include all information about parishioners collected on the registration form. In such circumstances where, in the opinion of St. Andrew, it is appropriate or necessary to disclose personal information, St. Andrew will not disclose more information than is required. St. Andrew will retain personal information provided to it only for so long as it is required for the purposes stated above. St. Andrew endeavours to maintain the accuracy of any information about parishioners in its possession. Information about a former parishioner is not actively maintained and, for so long as it is held by St. Andrew, St. Andrew cannot assure the accuracy of such information.
