Catholic Travel Centre (CTC) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the CTC sites and governs data collection and usage. By using this CTC site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
CTC collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. CTC also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by CTC. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. CTC uses this information for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the CTC site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through CTC public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: CTC does not read any of your private online communications.
CTC encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from CTC so you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. CTC is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of this CTC site and CTC family of websites.
CTC currently does not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. As a result, personal information may be collected even with the browser implementing “Do Not Track” features.
Use of your Personal Information
CTC collects and uses your personal information to operate the CTC website and deliver the services you have requested. CTC also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from CTC. CTC may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
CTC does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. CTC may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to CTC, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information. The purpose of these emails is to inquire about your experience with CTC and regarding future trips and/or offers. You may opt out of receiving emails from CTC at any time.
CTC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
CTC keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within CTC, in order to determine what CTC services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content within CTC to customers whose behavior indicates they are interested in a particular subject area.
CTC websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on CTC or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of CTC; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of CTC, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The CTC website use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize CTC pages, or register with CTC site or services, a cookie helps CTC to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same CTC website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the CTC features you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the CTC services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
CTC secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. CTC secures online and offline the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Only employees who require your personally identifiable information for the performance of specific duties are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Our services are not intended for and is not targeted to Children under the age of thirteen (13). If you are a child aged 13 or under, you are not permitted to use our services and your parent should inquire directly with CTC regarding services.
