St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church (Phoenix, AZ) uses MassRequest.com to manage Mass intention requests online. MassRequest.com is operated by Mediatrix Digital LLC. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use this website.
St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church may have its own privacy policy. Visit their website at https://www.staphx.org for more information.
Account information: When you create an account, we collect your name and either your email address or mobile phone number (or both, if you choose to add both). You can also submit a Mass intention request as a guest without creating an account first; in that case we collect the same information at the time you submit and verify it via a one-time code, and an account is created or linked to your existing record once verification succeeds. We also record the time zone your browser reports, so dates and times appear in your local time. You can change it anytime from your profile.
Mass intention requests: When you submit a Mass intention request to St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, we collect the intention text, preferred dates, and any recipient details you provide. If you choose to send a Mass card, this includes the recipient's name and either their email address, for a card sent by email, or their mailing address, for a printed card.
Payment information: Mass offering payments are processed securely via Stripe on behalf of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. A Mass card you order from your dashboard is charged by MassRequest.com through Stripe, not by St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. We do not store credit card numbers. Stripe may collect additional information as described in their privacy policy.
Technical data: We automatically collect certain technical information for spam prevention and security purposes.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Your Mass intention requests and account information are accessible to authorized administrators and priests at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church. Your data is not shared with other organizations on MassRequest.com.
If you register with a mobile phone number, or add one to your account, we send transactional text messages about your account and Mass intention requests. Messages include one-time verification codes, request confirmations, scheduling updates, reminders, offering receipts, and tips for your next request. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages.
Before sending any text message, we verify the number by sending a 6-digit code that you must enter on the site. If the number is a landline, which cannot receive texts, we call it and read the code aloud instead, and we do not send it text messages. This confirms the number is yours and records your consent to receive messages. We store the date and time you consent. Message frequency varies based on your activity. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, or resubscribe by replying START. Reply HELP for support information.
We do not share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in consent information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes under any circumstances. Phone numbers are shared only with our messaging provider, Bandwidth, to deliver the messages and calls you request and to check whether a number can receive texts.
We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. We also use Google Analytics, which sets cookies to help us understand how visitors use the site. We do not use advertising cookies.
Your account data and Mass intention requests are retained for as long as St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church maintains an active account on MassRequest.com. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time.
A request form you start but do not submit is saved, with the name and contact information you entered, for up to seven days so you can return and finish it. If you reach the payment step and leave without paying, we send one reminder to the email address or phone number you entered, with a link that brings back what you entered. Unfinished forms are deleted after seven days.
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address below.
MassRequest.com is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.
