What we keep

In plain words, because you should not need a lawyer to work out what a calendar of Mass times knows about you.

If you never sign in

We keep nothing about you. There is no advertising on this site, no tracking pixel, and no analytics that follows you anywhere else. Reading the calendar, the map and the guide is anonymous.

If you sign in

We hold four things:

• Your email address, so you can sign back in. It is never shown to another member and we never sell or share it.
• A first name and a last initial, which is what other members see. Never your surname, never your age.
• A part of town, if you chose to say one.
• The events you said you were going to, and whether each one shows your name or only adds to the number.

That is the whole list. We do not ask for your phone number, your date of birth, your parish or your photographs, and we do not read your contacts.

Who can see it

Going lists are for signed in members only. They are not on the open web, they are not in a search result, and they are not in our calendar feed. A member who has blocked you, or whom you have blocked, never sees you on a list and you never see them. You can hide yourself from every list at once on your account page, and still be counted.

Organizers do not see these lists. Saying you are going to a parish event tells other members here. It does not tell the parish, and it never replaces a registration the organizer asks for.

Deleting it

One button on your account page removes your profile, every yes and every block, and closes the account. There is no waiting period and no email to send. If a report was made about you, the report itself is kept without your account attached to it, so that our team can still act on it.

Reports

Every going list has a way to report someone, and reporting also hides them from you. A person on our team reads reports by hand and can remove an account. If anyone is in danger, please call 911 first.

The rest of the site

Everything else here is public information about public events, gathered from parishes and ministries and from what organizers send us. If you run one of those and want something changed or taken down, tell us and we will do it.

Questions, or something we got wrong: ceo@francoaurelio.com. This page says what The Catholic Local actually does today. It is written by the people who run the site, not by a lawyer, and we will say so until one has read it.
