Thank you for visiting NCRonline.org. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices.

The Information We Collect

When you subscribe to receive either the paper edition or the online edition of the National Catholic Reporter newsweekly, personally identifiable information may be collected through the use of one of our online forms. This includes name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, demographic information, and other items.  At other times, you may submit information to us through one of our contact pages or other online services.

How We Use the Information

We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for our products and services, to respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify you when you have requested changes to your subscriber information or to fulfill a request by you for an online service or to contact you about your account with us.

We use the information that you provide about others to enable us to send them the item you requested.. From time to
time, we also may use this information to offer our products, programs, or services to them.

If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., a "letter to our editors"), we may publish your name and other information you have provided to us.

Agents and contractors of NCR who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for NCR.

NCR carefully screens requests to share subscriber names.  If you wish to have your name deleted from such rentals, please contact our office.

Finally, NCR will not use or transfer personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors

Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors should
consult the other sites' privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by,
these third parties.

registering at one of our sites. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information,
this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.
