Reading the Parish Privacy Policy
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church · CoreWhere to find the parish privacy policy, and how to jump straight to the section that answers your question.
You have a question about how the parish collects, uses, or shares your personal information, or you want to know your choices under Texas privacy law.
The parish holds personal, sacramental, and payment records to run parish life. Texas law and Church policy require a plain explanation of what the parish collects and why. This policy is that explanation.
What you will do, in one sentence
Open the policy, then use the on-page list to jump straight to the section that answers your question.
Last verified against the staging system on 2026-10-20. Screens shown are the staging system (an isolated copy of production). This page shows no parishioner data — only the parish's own policy text. Prepared 20 October 2026.
1. Where to find the policy
The privacy policy explains what personal information the parish collects, why it collects it, who it shares it with, and the choices you have. Anyone can read it. You do not need to sign in.
The parish updates this date only when it edits the policy itself. Nothing else moves it — not the time of day, and not whether you are signed in.
- Open your parish's privacy page. A link to it is at the bottom of every screen.
- If you are already signed in, look for a Read our privacy policy link instead. It appears on your Communication Preferences page, and near the end of the registration wizard.
It does not cover a website the parish links to but does not run, and it does not cover the separate records the Diocese of Dallas keeps in its own systems. Contact the parish office directly about those.
