Introduction

The Visitation Academy & Monastery Landmark Initiative respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information through LandmarkVisitation.com.

​

Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you join our mailing list, volunteer, contact us, donate, or submit historical materials. This may include:

• Your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.

• Your connection to Visitation and volunteer interests.

• Photographs, videos, oral histories, and other materials you submit, along with identifying details and publication permissions.

• Donation details are supplied through our payment provider.

 

Wix and connected services may also collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser information, and website activity, through cookies and similar technologies.

 

How We Use Your Information

We use information to respond to inquiries, coordinate volunteers, communicate with subscribers, process donations, maintain records, and preserve Visitation’s history. Technical information may be used to operate, secure, and understand how visitors use our website.

 

Historical Submissions and Publication

Our submission forms ask for permission to publish photographs, oral histories, and other historical materials, including any contributor credit. Submitting historical material does not automatically enroll you in our mailing list or text updates.

 

Please submit only materials you own or have permission to share, and avoid including private information about others without their permission.

 

Permission to Use Submitted Materials

By submitting photographs, videos, oral histories, or other historical materials, you grant the Visitation Academy & Monastery Landmark Initiative nonexclusive permission to preserve, reproduce, quote, edit for length or clarity, publish, display, and share them in support of the landmark effort. This includes landmark applications and supporting documents, presentations, our historical archive, website, social media, printed materials, publicity, and community events.

 

You retain ownership of your materials and confirm that you have the right to grant this permission. We will honor any agreed anonymity or credit preferences and will not knowingly alter the meaning of your account.

​

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. Information may be processed by service providers that help operate our website, deliver communications, and process payments, including Wix and our payment provider.

Contact information and text-message consent are not shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Historical materials and contributor names may be made public according to the permissions you provide. Information may also be disclosed when required by law.

 

Email and Text Updates

You may choose to receive email updates through an optional signup. You can unsubscribe using the link in our emails or by contacting us.

 

If we offer text updates, enrollment will require a separate, optional consent. Message frequency, possible message and data charges, and instructions for getting help or opting out will be provided when you sign up.

 

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies through Wix and any connected services. These may support website functionality, security, and analytics. You can manage cookies through your browser and, where available, our website’s cookie settings.

 

Security and Retention

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, although no online system is completely secure.

We retain contact, volunteer, and donation information as needed for the purposes described in this policy and applicable recordkeeping requirements. Historical submissions may be retained long term as part of our archive, consistent with your submission permissions.

 

Your Choices

To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to discuss permissions for historical materials you submitted, contact us at contact@landmarkvisitation.com.

Some records may need to be retained for legal or recordkeeping purposes. Removing material from our website cannot remove copies already downloaded or shared by others.

 

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our activities or website services change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
