Effective Date: September 2, 2020

​

This Privacy Policy explains how Peter and Paul ("Peter and Paul," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to peterandpaul.org (the "Site") and from individuals who sign up for our weekly email newsletter. By using the Site or subscribing to our emails, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

 

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information you choose to provide to us. This includes:

• Contact information you submit through our sign-up form, such as your name and email address, when you register to receive our weekly emails.

• Any additional information you voluntarily send us, such as through a contact form or email correspondence.

• Basic technical information (such as IP address and browser type) that may be automatically logged by our website hosting or email service provider for security and delivery purposes.

• SMS consent is not shared with third parties.

We do not knowingly collect payment information, government-issued identification, or other sensitive personal data through the Site.

​

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely for our own purposes, including to:

• Send you our weekly email newsletter and related updates.

• Respond to questions or requests you send us.

• Maintain and improve the Site and our email communications.

• Comply with applicable laws and protect the security of our systems.

• SMS consent is not shared with third parties.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties, and we do not use your information for purposes beyond those described in this policy.

​

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with the following types of third parties, solely to operate our newsletter and Site:

• Email service provider. We use Constant Contact to store our subscriber list and send our weekly emails. Constant Contact processes your email address and related engagement data (such as opens and clicks) on our behalf, subject to its own privacy policy.

• Service providers who help us operate the Site (such as web hosting), who are permitted to use your information only to provide services to us.

• Legal or safety purposes, if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Peter and Paul, our users, or others.

We otherwise do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

​

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Site and email service provider may use cookies, tracking pixels, or similar technologies for basic functionality, such as remembering your sign-up status and measuring whether our emails are opened or links are clicked. These technologies do not collect sensitive personal information. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and most email clients let you disable image loading, which limits open tracking.

​

5. Your Choices and Rights

You have control over the communications and information you provide to us:

• Unsubscribe: Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You may also unsubscribe by contacting us at the email address below. We honor unsubscribe requests promptly, consistent with the CAN-SPAM Act.

• Access, correction, or deletion: You may ask us to provide, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the email address below.

• California residents: If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of that information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. As noted above, we do not sell personal information.

 

6. Data Retention

We retain your email address and related subscription information for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter, or as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, we will remove your information from our active mailing list within a reasonable time, except where we are required to retain limited records for legal or accounting purposes.

​

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, and rely on the security measures of our service providers (such as Constant Contact), to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

​

8. Children's Privacy

The Site and our email newsletter are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

​

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
