Last updated: June 29, 2025
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://www.trinitynorthscituate.org/site
We are Trinity Episcopal Church, located in North Scituate, Rhode Island. We highly respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why
The only forms present on our website are a standard search function and official sign-up forms used to collect new subscribers for our communication lists.
We collect only the following information, and only when you voluntarily provide it:
- Email addresses (for mailing list subscriptions)
- Phone numbers (for future SMS notifications via our mailing list provider)
This information is collected solely for the purpose of sending church or outreach ministry communications, newsletters, and parish updates. It is never used for other purposes.
Mailing Lists and Parish Database
Data provided through our opt-in mailing list sign-up forms is processed securely through Mailchimp. We do not share, sell, or distribute your information to third parties.
You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of every email we send.
Cookies
Our website may set basic cookies necessary for site functionality, such as remembering your search preferences. These cookies do not contain personal information.
Third-party services embedded on our site (such as Mailchimp sign-up forms) may also set their own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, calendars, or social media feeds). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. The only third-party service that processes your data on our behalf is Mailchimp (Intuit), which we use to manage our mailing lists and send email communications.
How Long We Retain Your Data
We retain your email address and/or phone number in our mailing list and parish database for as long as you remain subscribed. Once you unsubscribe or request removal, your information is deleted from our active lists in accordance with Mailchimp’s data retention policies.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
You may request at any time to:
- View the personal data we hold about you
- Correct any inaccurate information
- Have your personal data deleted from our records
To exercise any of these rights, please contact the parish office.
How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information. Mailing list data is stored and processed through Mailchimp’s secure infrastructure. We limit access to personal information to authorized church staff and volunteers who need it to manage parish communications.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
