This Privacy Policy explains how Our Parish Voice (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when a parish uses our software. Our Parish Voice is operated by Cake Slice Creative, LLC.
Our Parish Voice is two products under one company:
The parish organization that creates the account is the controller of the pastoral and bulletin content it enters. We process that content to provide the service the parish asked for.
This policy applies to parish administrators, staff, volunteers, candidates (OCIA), and visitors who use our marketing sites, sign-in pages, public inquiry form, candidate portal, or a public bulletin share link. It also applies to people who join our email list.
Account and team data: names, email addresses, roles, and authentication details needed to sign in and manage parish access.
Parish profile data: parish name, branding, contact details, address, Mass times, and related settings the parish chooses to store.
OCIA operational data: inquiry submissions, candidate records, journey stages, attendance, tasks, milestones, documents and uploads, communications logs, formation curriculum, readiness notes, and rite planning information entered by the parish team or submitted by candidates.
Bulletin data: weekly bulletin PDFs the parish uploads, extracted text and structured blocks, images and ads the parish adds, draft and published bulletin pages, share links, and newsletter HTML the parish generates. A print bulletin can include names (for example Mass intentions, prayer lists, ministry contacts, and occasionally minors named in parish announcements). We process whatever the parish puts in the file.
Marketing and support data: email addresses submitted on our sites for updates, and the contents of support messages sent to us.
Technical data: basic logs such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service. We use essential cookies and similar storage for sign-in and security. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell personal information.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use parish candidate records or bulletin content for advertising. We do not use parish content to train our own foundation models.
When a parish uses PDF extract or AI draft features in Digital Bulletin, we send the uploaded PDF (or the text needed for a draft) to Anthropic, PBC through its commercial API so the model can return structured blocks or draft copy. That step is required for extract to work.
The parish should review every extract and draft before publishing. AI output can miss items or misread a layout.
Under Anthropic’s commercial API terms, Anthropic does not train its models on customer API content by default. We do not enroll parish content in any optional Anthropic training or partner program. Anthropic may keep API logs for a limited period for abuse and safety (typically up to 30 days) under its own terms. We have not purchased a separate zero-data-retention agreement.
OCIA candidate records are not sent to Anthropic.
Data is isolated by parish organization, and the two products keep separate databases today. Access inside a parish is limited by role. Parish administrators are responsible for inviting the right people, removing access when ministry roles change, and limiting sensitive pastoral notes to those with a genuine need to know.
A published bulletin share page is public to anyone with the link. Do not publish content the parish is not allowed to share.
We use processors only as needed to run the products:
These providers process data under their contracts with us. They are not allowed to use parish content for their own advertising.
We retain information for as long as the parish account remains active and as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Authorized parish contacts may request correction, export assistance, or deletion of their parish’s account data by emailing support@ourparishvoice.com. Some records may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period after deletion.
We use industry-standard safeguards such as encrypted connections, authenticated access, and database access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Parish teams should use strong passwords and share access carefully.
Our products are built for parish staff and adult users. They are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly create accounts for children under 13.
A parish may still upload or publish bulletin copy that names a minor (for example a school or youth announcement already in the print bulletin). The parish decides what to include and what to publish. If you believe we have an account for a child under 13, contact us so we can delete it.
Authorized parish contacts can correct or delete parish-owned data as described above. Account holders can sign out and request account deletion. Email-list subscribers can unsubscribe from the link in each message.
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice (for example by email or an in-product note). Continued use of the service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
Privacy questions, correction requests, or deletion requests: support@ourparishvoice.com.
