Catholic Gift Shop Ltd ("We"/”Us”) are committed to protecting and respecting the privacy of our website users and we ask that you read this Privacy Policy carefully as it contains important information about how we may collect and use your personal data.

This policy (together with the Terms and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.

We endeavour to collect and use your personal data only with your knowledge and consent and typically when you use services, make customer enquiries, register for information or other services, or when you respond to communications from us. You can visit this website without disclosing any personal data about yourself but you acknowledge that by providing data to us you consent to the processing of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 (“the Act”), the data controller is Catholic Gift Shop Ltd.

When do we share your data? 
We will only share your data with third party suppliers, such as the Lourdes Prayer Request service, couriers and the postal service, so they can deliver your items and prayer requests. We never share your details with any other retail companies.

How do we collect your data?
We collect your data in a number of ways, from the information you provide when creating an account, submitting a prayer request, signing up to our mailing list or from when you make a purchase. Our priority is to protect and treat your data with the utmost care.
 
Why do we collect your data?
We want to provide you with the best experience and the data we collect allows us to provide relevant services.
