Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Knights of Columbus St. John XXIII Council 13624 (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at kc23.org (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy.

Information We Collect

We collect the following information only when you voluntarily create a members-only account:

• Name
• Email address
• Account credentials (password is never stored in plain text)

If you sign in with Google, we receive only the name and email address associated with your Google account. We do not receive your Google password or any other Google account data.

Visitors who do not create an account are not asked to provide any personal information.

How We Use Your Information

Information collected is used solely to:

• Authenticate you and provide access to the members-only area
• Identify you within council records (e.g., service hours)
• Contact you regarding council business if needed

We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, or any purpose unrelated to the operation of this council website.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with outside organizations except as required by law.

Authentication and account data is stored using Google Firebase, which processes data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Session Data

We use secure HTTP-only cookies solely to maintain your login session. These cookies do not track your activity across other websites and are deleted when you sign out or your session expires. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking.

Data Retention

Your account information is retained for as long as you have an active account. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the email address below.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Account data is stored in Firebase with industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
