When you make a contribution or donation, information necessary to process and record the transaction may be collected.

Payments may be processed through WooCommerce and connected third-party payment providers.
Providence GP does not intend to store complete payment-card numbers on its website.
Payment processors may collect and process payment information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Unsubscribing from promotional communications does not necessarily stop transactional or service-related communications that are necessary to complete a transaction or respond to a request.
