What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

We use the contact information given in our contact forms specifically for the purpose of that specified form. Mount St. Scholastica does not share information given in our contact forms with any external companies or organizations unless given permission by the submitter.

We use the standard Elementor forms for most places on our website. However, Sophia Spirituality Center, Retreats, Spiritual Direction, Program Offerings, Private Retreats & Hermitage, and Groups & Space rental all use google forms. In any form, the user has the option to not allow their data to be collected

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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

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

Analytics

Who we share your data with

Mount St. Scholastica uses MonsterInsights google analytics to track hits on our site. However, we anonymize IP addresses and any personal information. We do not use this information for advertising, nor do we sell your information to external companies. Any personal information is freely given in an online form and used solely for the purpose of that form.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically 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 you have over your data

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

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Additional information

How we protect your data

What data breach procedures we have in place

If a data breach should occur, we will contact those directly affected via email and phone.

What third parties we receive data from

We use MonsterInsights with the EU Compliance addon for google analytics. This allows us to anonymize user data, such as IP addresses, with tracking on our website.
