St. Philip & St. James with St. Thomas Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy and do not collect any personal information without your knowledge or consent

Jurisdiction

The Parishes of St. Philip & St. James and St. Thomas are located within the Republic of Ireland and subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish Courts. The webmaster is resident within the same jurisdiction.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files which a web server places on your PC. The contents are then sent back to the server later when you re-visit the web page. We use a temporary cookie to determine whether you started browsing via the St. Philip & St. James home page or via St. Thomas home page. This cookie is deleted when you close your browser. If cookies are disabled on your browser (an optional setting) then we note your IP address (this is the address used for communication between your machine and our server)

We may in the future also place a permanent cookie on your machine with the date of your visit - this will allow us to show you which parts of the web site have changed since your last visit. If cookies are disabled we will just show you the most recent changes - even if you have visited since those changes.

Use of Contact Page

When you fill in the contact form, the email is sent directly to the specified person. All information you filled in is also sent to the recipient. The recipient will treat the information received in the same manner as they would a phone conversation or paper letter and apply the same level of confidentiality and sensitivity.

A notification that a form has been filled in with the intended recipient is sent to the webmaster for monitoring of use of the contact page. No other information is sent to the webmaster.

Mailing lists Page

The information entered is sent to the webmaster for the mail list processing. Only an email address is required - the name is optional but helpful. The information is used solely for sending the specified newsletters to you. The webmaster may divulge the information to the Rector and the Parish Secretary. The information will not be transferred to any other person or organisation without your prior consent.

'Click Stream' Web Statistics

To help us understand the usage of the web site we, in common with most web sites, collect what is known as 'click stream' data. This is information about your machine, the page viewed, date & time of viewing, the browser used, the operating system used, which page you previously viewed (this contains the search terms if you were re-directed from a Search Engine such as Google), the amount of information transferred and any errors encountered. When you use the contact page, this includes all the data you entered on the form.

This information is stored on the web server, which may be located outside the Republic of Ireland, for up to 21 days.

The information is also retained by the webmaster, located in the Republic of Ireland, and statistical analysis information is made available to the Select Vestry. No individual information is divulged. The full information is retained for a period of up to 2 years and the summary information indefinitely.

Redress and Complaints

If you believe that we have violated either your privacy or our own policy, please in the first instance use the web form or direct email to webmaster@booterstown.org. The webmaster will endeavour to correct the situation. If you are not satisfied with the response please telephone the Parish Office with your complaint or write to the Honorary Secretary of the Select Vestry, c/o The Parish Office. They will bring the matter to both Select Vestries which have ultimate responsibility for the conduct of the Web site.
