Privacy Policy

Catholic Free Shipping takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.

Personal User Information

Automatically Collected Information - Some information is automatically received and sometimes collected from you when you visit the Catholic Free Shipping site. We receive and collect the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system; the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. We use this information to monitor the usage of our site. All of the information we automatically capture provides us with the ability to enhance our customers' search and shopping experiences and to determine aggregate information about our user base and usage patterns.

Information Collected via Cookies - We use cookies to enhance the browsing and shopping experience on the Catholic Free Shipping site. "Cookies" are small files or records that we place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on the Catholic Free Shipping site. The cookies transmit this information back to the computers at Catholic Free Shipping; these computers are, generally speaking, the only computers which are authorized to read such information. The information captured makes it possible for us to speed navigation and to keep track of items in your shopping cart.

Most people do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit the Catholic Free Shipping site or most web sites because browsers are typically set to accept cookies. You can choose to have your browser warn you every time a cookie is being sent to you or you can turn off cookie placement. If you refuse cookies, you will not be able to open a Catholic Free Shipping Shopping Cart and therefore will not be able to complete an order with us online. Also, by not using cookies, your overall Internet browsing experience will be affected.

Information You Actively Submit to Catholic Free Shipping - For most of the browsing services we provide, we neither require nor collect "Personal Customer Information" -- your name, email address, billing address, shipping address(es), phone number and credit card information. You can browse the Catholic Free Shipping site and take as much time as you want to review our Catholic books and other products and services without having to submit such Personal Customer Information. Even when you use our shopping cart as you browse, there is no need to submit Personal Customer Information.

To complete an order, however, we require you to supply us with your personal billing and shipping information for us to be able to provide a convenient online shopping experience for our customers. However, our shopping cart system is managed by Yahoo! services, and our own company will not be handling your credit card information directly. Therefore, your information such as credit card number, expiration, billing address, etc., will not be stored on Catholic Free Shipping services. You can view the Yahoo! Shopping privacy policy for more information here.

How we use and share Personal Customer Information

We do not currently share or sell any of your contact information to third-parties, and will not engage in the selling of your Personal Customer Information in any case without prior consent and/or notification. Your email address will only be used for times when we need to contact you, the customer, about an order. You also have the opportunity to enroll in our Catholic Free Shipping newsletter, which would involve a periodic email with current information on our store, the Catholic Church, important information, and more. However, you may also opt-out of our newsletter at any time.

External Links to Third-Party Websites

When you click on links and banners on our site that take you to third-party web sites, you will be subject to the third parties' privacy policies. While we support the protection of privacy on the Internet, Catholic Free Shipping cannot be responsible for the actions of any third-party web sites. We encourage you to read the posted privacy statement of any and every site you visit, whether you are linking from our site or browsing on your own.

Changes to Privacy Policy

Catholic Free Shipping reserves the right to modify or amend this policy at any time by posting the revised Privacy Policy on our website.
