Privacy policy

You may visit our website and access information about the Sisters of St. Joseph, St. Augustine (SSJ) without revealing your identity. At times, SSJ may ask you to provide certain information by completing and submitting an online form. Participation in these activities is entirely optional. If you choose to participate, we may request contact information such as your name, mailing address, email address, or other personally identifying information. By submitting this information, you understand and agree that SSJ may access, store, and use it to maintain your relationship with us.

We collect this information for a variety of purposes, including informing you about our ministries, programs, special initiatives, and opportunities to support our mission. We recognize the importance of using your information responsibly and are committed to protecting your privacy.

We do not sell your personal data for monetary compensation. We may, however, share limited personal information, such as your name and contact details, with trusted third-party service providers, including data analytics providers, who help us better understand and engage our supporters.

We also participate in data cooperatives composed of other nonprofit organizations and may share donor names, contact information, and donation information with the organization operating the cooperative. In this case, other participating organizations are not provided with access to individual donation information; rather, it is used internally by the data cooperative to help identify the causes, products, and services that may be of interest to donors. We do not receive monetary compensation for this sharing.

Your personal preferences are very important to us. As a donor, you may request at any time that your name be excluded from any donor list exchange activity or cooperative database usage by contacting us at info@ssjfl.org.

Depending on applicable privacy laws, these activities may be considered a “sale” or the processing of personal data for targeted outreach. You may have the right to opt out of this type of sharing, as described in the Your Privacy Rights section.

To improve our website, SSJ uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors interact with www.ssjfl.org. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us enhance your experience. These technologies do not personally identify you unless you choose to provide us with personal information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer.

Our web servers may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address. This information helps us manage and improve our website and does not identify you personally unless you have voluntarily provided personal information to us.

We appreciate the financial support of our donors. Please note that all donations made through our website are non-refundable.
