Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

St. Kyrillos the Sixth Coptic Orthodox Church ("we," "our," or "the Church") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and how we protect it.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. This may include:

  • Confession appointment bookings — When you schedule a confession or pastoral appointment through our Calendly booking widget, Calendly collects your name and email address to confirm and manage your appointment. This information is handled by Calendly in accordance with their own privacy policy.
  • Usage data — Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically collect basic technical information such as your browser type, device, and pages visited. This data is anonymous and used only for maintaining the site.

We do not operate a newsletter, membership portal, or any account-based system. We do not collect payment information directly — any giving is handled through third-party platforms with their own privacy practices.

2. How We Use Your Information

Any information you provide is used solely to fulfill the purpose for which it was given — for example, confirming a confession appointment. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services that may collect data independently:

  • Calendly — Used for scheduling confession and pastoral appointments. See Calendly's Privacy Policy.
  • YouTube — We embed YouTube videos for livestreamed services. YouTube may set cookies when you interact with embedded content. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Maps — We embed a Google Maps iframe on our site to help visitors find our location. Google may collect data through this embed. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Calendar — We embed a public Google Calendar to display our church schedule.
  • Facebook — Our website links to our Facebook page. Clicking those links will take you to Facebook's platform, which operates under their own privacy policy.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review their policies directly.

4. Cookies

Our website itself does not use cookies to track visitors. However, third-party embeds (such as YouTube, Google Maps, and Calendly) may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with them. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

5. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect any information submitted through our website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use caution when sharing personal information online.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
