Zacchaus in the Sycamore TreeOUR PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy of personal information is an important principle to The Sycamore Project. We fully comply with all legislative and policy requirements
concerning matters of privacy.

The following documents describe our privacy policies:


WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information is information about an identifiable individual. This includes information that relates to one’s personal characteristics (e.g. gender, age, income, home address or phone number, ethnic background, family status), one’s health (e.g., health history, health conditions, health services received) or their activities and view (e.g., religion, politics, opinions expressed by an individual, an opinion or evaluation of an individual). Personal information is to be contrasted with business information (e.g., an individual’s business address and telephone number), which is not protected by privacy legislation.

WHO ARE WE

The Sycamore Project is a joint venture being under-taken by Fr. Greg Zubacz, Melita Mudri-Zubacz, and Suzette Phillips in response to the needs of seminaries, seminarians, rectors, and clergy regarding human formation, seminary, and clergy issues. On a consultative basis, Greg, Melita, and Suzette provide support in the spiritual, human, pastoral and professional formation of Christian Church leaders of both East and West. They also provide support and training to lay leaders.

We do use a number of consultants and agencies that may, in the course of their duties, have limited access to personal information that we hold. These include computer consultants, bookkeepers and accountants, and lawyers. We restrict their access to any personal information we hold as much as is reasonably possible. We also have their assurance that they follow appropriate privacy principles.
