Privacy and advertising information

This page explains how Catholic Calendar Guide approaches privacy, analytics, and future advertising in a way that supports public trust and AdSense readiness.

Information use

Catholic Calendar Guide is designed as a public informational reference site. In this version, visitors can browse the calendar, date pages, and parish-finder features without creating an account or submitting a personal profile.

Analytics

The site may use basic analytics to understand overall usage patterns, improve navigation, and identify which pages are most useful to visitors. Those measurements are intended to support product improvement rather than personal profiling.

Advertising and cookies

Catholic Calendar Guide may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display clearly labeled advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies allows Google and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their use of this site and other sites across the internet. Visitors may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings, and they may also review broader advertising opt-out choices through industry opt-out tools.

Third-party vendors and networks

If additional third-party vendors or ad networks are used on this site in the future, this page will be updated to identify those vendors and link to their websites when appropriate. Visitors may be able to review those vendors’ privacy materials and opt-out tools directly through the providers themselves.

Editorial independence

Advertising should remain clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Catholic Calendar Guide intends to keep ads separated from the site’s calendar navigation, practical worship guidance, and devotional reference content so that visitors can continue to use the site without confusion.

External links and maps

The site may link to parish websites, map providers, readings resources, or other external services. Those destinations operate under their own privacy practices, so visitors should review the policies of any third-party service they choose to use.

Policy updates

As the project grows, this page should be revised to reflect any new advertising partners, consent requirements, contact details, or changes in data handling. The goal is to keep the site’s public disclosures plain, current, and proportionate to the tools actually in use.
