Use and Disclosure of Information The information that is collected, stored and processed in the course of its business operations is used for a number of purposes, including providing customer service to you, communicating with you, informing you of or providing updates or upgrades to products or services, customizing and facilitating your use of the Web Site, improving, modifying or developing products and services, and marketing, including direct marketing of products and services offered by or through St. Gerards (including those of third parties) through the distribution (by e-mail or otherwise) of catalogues, advertisements or other publications to you. St. Gerards will also use Technical and Personal Information about you and aggregate it with Technical and Personal Information about others, such that no person is individually identifiable.

Information about you is important to our business and we are not in the business of selling your information to others. The information that is collected, stored and processed by St. Gerards will only be disclosed to other parties in the circumstances outlined below.
Disclosure for Legal Purposes. St. Gerards will disclose information about you if required to do so by law, court order or as requested by any other government or law enforcement authority. St. Gerards will also disclose information about you where St. Gerards, acting reasonably, believes that such disclosure is necessary or advisable, including when St. Gerards has reason to believe that the safety of St. Gerards employees, parishioners or others is at risk, or if disclosure of such information is necessary or advisable to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with St. Gerards’ rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else could be harmed in such activities.
With Your Consent With your prior consent, St. Gerards may disclose information about you in situations other than as provided above.
Security St. Gerards endeavors to provide a secure environment in which you can provide and obtain access to information about you. St. Gerards has security measures in place to prevent the modification, misuse, loss or misappropriation of information about you, including the provision of a secure environment in which the information is stored and controlling access to such information by parties external to St. Gerards.
Your Privacy Preferences You may, at any time, update your privacy preferences, by contacting St. Gerards directly as set out in the Contact Us section below.
In some cases, St. Gerards may not be able to provide you with all the information that it has collected about you. This would occur if provision of the information could lead to disclosure of another individual’s personal information, where laws or regulations prevent disclosure, or where it would simply be too costly to provide the information such as a request to provide you with a detailed history of every web page on the Web Site visited by you. If St. Gerards decides not to disclose some or all of the information collected about you, St. Gerards will advise you of the reason.
Accountability and Complaints St. Gerards has designated Bandi Szakony as the person for you to contact to raise issues or concerns with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of your information about you. Please contact Bandi Szakony directly at StGerards (at) shaw.ca with your questions or concerns.
