Thank you for using ParishPay, industry leading payment solution operated by YapStone, Inc. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you. Please take a moment to review our Privacy Policy. It sets forth the kinds of information that we collect from you, the kinds of information that we will disclose and the kinds of organizations to which we will disclose such information.

We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

• Information we receive from you when you communicate with us
• Information we derive from your transactions with us, such as how much you have pledged or undertaken to pay through ParishPay , a service of YapStone, Inc, how much you pay in a particular month, your cumulative payments, and other aspects of your payments history with us

We will not disclose to anyone, except as required by law, the account information about the credit card or financial institution accounts that you are using to make your donations or other payments.

The Churches and organizations who have hired us to make electronic payments services available to you and them, have asked that we make available to them certain of the other nonpublic personal information that we collect about you. This information includes your name and address and certain aspects of your payments history with us.

These Churches and organizations to which we disclose this information are:

• The diocese, parish, church, religious charity, parochial school or other Church Organization to which you are making donations or other payments
• The governing body that governs the parish, church, religious charity, parochial school or other Church organization to which your donations or payments is being made.

Generally, we disclose the same information to the parish, church, religious charity, parochial school or other Church organization to which your donations or payments is being made, and to the governing body, such as a Bishop or Archdiocese, that governs that parish, church, religious charity, parochial school or other organization. We do not, however, disclose your address to such governing body.

For parishes, churches, religious charities, parochial schools and other Church organizations that have hired us separately from their governing body, we will not disclose the nonpublic personal information we collect about you to the governing body. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you to other Church organizations, whether they are governed the same governing body that governs the Church organization to which your payments is being made, or by a different governing body. We may also disclose nonpublic personal information about you to nonaffiliated third parties as permitted by law. This would include, for example, disclosing your name, address and account information in connection with the processing work that must be done to enable your automatic payments to be made.

We will not disclose any information to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or on behalf of the relevant governing body, or parish, church, religious charity, parochial school or other Church organization to which you want your payments to be made.

If you prefer that your name and address information not be disclosed to the Church organization to which you want your payments to be made, or to its relevant governing body, please sign up using the "Anonymous Donor" feature. When you use this feature,we will not disclose name and address information about you either to the Church organization to which you want your payments to be made, or its governing body, although we will disclose other information we collect about you, such as your payments history. If you want us not to disclose any of the nonpublic personal information that we collect about you as described below to anyone, we regret to say that we cannot enroll you to make electronic payments. In that case, we will not disclose any nonpublic personal information that we collect about you in the course of your attempt to enroll.
