Sharing of Information
SFSRC does not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted service providers and contractors that assist us in operating the Site and providing our services, such as website hosting, email communications, retreat registration and reservation services, donation processing, payment processing, technology services, and other administrative functions. These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf and are subject to their own privacy and security obligations. We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of SFSRC, our guests, or others.
Email Communications
If you subscribe to SFSRC email communications, we may use your email address to send you information about retreats, programs, events, news, fundraising efforts, and other activities of the Retreat Center. You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link provided in the email or by contacting us at info@stfrancisretreatcenter.org. Please note that we may still send necessary administrative or transactional communications related to a retreat reservation, donation, inquiry, or other service you have requested.
Donations and Retreat Reservations
SFSRC may use third-party service providers to process donations, payments, retreat inquiries, registrations, and reservations. When you use these services, information you provide may also be collected and processed by the applicable service provider. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those providers for information about their privacy practices. SFSRC does not intentionally collect or store complete payment-card information through the Site when payment information is processed directly by a third-party payment provider.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, maintain appropriate organizational records, comply with legal or financial obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Security
SFSRC takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information under our control. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Site. If you prefer not to submit information through the Site, you may contact SFSRC by telephone at 484-837-1112 or by email at info@stfrancisretreatcenter.org.

Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 18. SFSRC does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 18 without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If we learn that personal information from a child under 18 has been collected through the Site without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. This provision does not prevent SFSRC from hosting retreats, programs, or activities involving minors when appropriate permissions, registrations, and safeguards are in place.

SFSRC does not control these third-party websites or their privacy practices and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices.
