Please review our policies below:
PRIVACY POLICY This Policy may be amended occasionally – your continued use of this service acts as your agreement to any amendments, and you may or may not receive notice. This Policy was last revised on March 18, 2023. The Order of Sen-Taur herein referred to as "The Order," "Sen-Taur," "we," and "our") cares about the privacy of visitors (herein referred to as "you" and "yours") to our site(s). We also know you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. Please read on for a complete discussion/understanding of our privacy policy and how we may utilize, disclose, and protect this information. By visiting our website(s), you accept the practices described in this Privacy Notice and our Terms of Use. INFORMATION WE COLLECT There are three types of information we may collect and use. The first type is the personally identifying information you provided, including your name, email address, telephone number, and physical address. The second type of information we collect or use is your financial information, which you provide when you make a purchase, such as your credit card number. The final type of information is automatic, non-personal information. This type of information is the data obtained from your computer when you visit one of our web properties and includes cookies, IP address, and browsing activity on our sites. Which may include the date and time you visited, how much time you spent on the site, the areas or pages you visited, etc. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION USE Your personal information is stored in our secure records. To provide you with legal and valid membership, we require all our members to provide us with their full legal name, email address, and physical address. This personally-identifying information is collected to, among other things, verify your identity, populate our member records, and aid us in generating legally valid documents for you if you choose to acquire any of these from The Order of Sen-Taur. We may also use it to contact you if necessary. As a valid religious educational organization, the law requires that we retain this personally-identifying information in our records. Storage, utilization, and data analysis are vital in the operations of Sen-Taur and the activities of its members. The members and ministers of The Order often perform activities, like wedding ceremonies, in the public sphere that can require The Order to verify and endorse these tasks on an organizational level. Registered members may update account information on the website(s) by accessing the information editor in the "My Account" section once you have logged in using the email address and password you used when creating your account. You can also privately review your historical order information and any other personally-identifying information you have submitted to the site(s). Should your personal information change, such as your name or address, we require that you contact us to update your records accordingly. FINANCIAL INFORMATION If you purchase in our online store, we may also need to collect your credit card number, expiration date, and billing address ("financial information"). This information is securely stored and is used only to process payment and fulfill your order. Only authorized personnel have access to this information, and the most sensitive elements are largely obfuscated internally to provide additional protection. Your financial information will never be shared for any other purpose with outside or third parties. We limit the time we maintain your financial information to the minimum required to satisfy all legal and business requirements. Your financial information is permanently deleted from our systems when your transaction is completed unless you initiate post-transaction activity (e.g., a chargeback proceeding with your bank). NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION Because religious activities of the Order occur in the cyber-sphere, we strive to improve and expand these services for our users. Automatic, non-personal information such as cookies are used to improve our products, services, and operations; to detect and investigate activities that may violate our policies or be illegal; and to keep track of activity on our websites. Cookies are digital files stored on your computer and are not stored anywhere online. Wherever possible, we seek user consent and inform you how and why your information will be collected and stored. Your continued usage of The Order of Sen-Taur online websites and services is an agreement and consent to this Privacy Policy. When you initially request registration with or membership into The Order of Sen-Taur, you must affirmatively click a button opting in and agree to the storage and utilization of the information described herein. In geographic areas where it is required, users can opt-in to receive additional communications (i.e., bi-monthly email newsletters) from The Order. THIRD PARTIES We may work with third-party partners and tools, like Google Analytics, to constantly improve our online environment to ensure it works effectively and efficiently. As these partners and tools analyze our online performance, they may access some automatic non-personal information. They will never have access to your personally-identifying or financial information. DATA RIGHTS The Order stores and utilizes the information that it does to continue providing high-quality services to its members. We acknowledge that individuals have a right to control when and how their personal data is stored and used. As such, we have made provisions for the deletion and sharing of information collected upon request of the user who provided said information. If you would like a copy of the personally-identifying information The Order has collected about you, contact our support staff and request that that data be sent back to you electronically. To request this information, email: webmistress@sen-taur.com or write to P O Box 1041, Eldorado, TX 76936. After your request has been processed and your identity verified, your information will be dispatched to you electronically within 30 days. A member of our support staff may ask you to provide legally valid proof of your identity before any information request you make is processed. We cannot honor any information access, change, or deletion request until we are assured you are the individual whose data will be affected. Please note that you can always view all of the personally-identifying information you have submitted to The Order of Sen-Taur by logging into your account on our website and navigating to the account information and account settings sections without making a formal request. The Order of Sen-Taur must store some essential personally-identifying information, such as the name and address you submitted as part of the membership process. We will, in all cases, be unable to delete this information from our servers permanently. However, some information you may have entered, like your telephone number, may not be considered essential. You have the right to contact The Order at any time to request that any non-essential personal information be permanently deleted. If you would like to make this request, contact our support team. After your request is processed and your identity verified, non-essential personal information will be deleted within 30 days from The Order of Sen-Taur servers and from the servers of any third party with whom that information was stored. (See Section 3 of this Policy for more information about when and how your information may be shared with third parties). Please note that many of the online services and tools provided by the Order will not be available to you when your data is deleted. The Order deems your request to delete your data as a simultaneous request to revoke your membership and remove your name from its member rolls. After which, you will no longer be able to perform any ceremonies or hold any meetings or events under The Order of Sen-Taur and can no longer log in to your account created on any of our websites. If your request to be sent a copy of your information or your request for your non-essential information to be deleted is denied, we will inform you in writing why your request was denied and provide you the information about the options still available to you within 30 days. Visitors to The Order of Sen-Taur website(s) may have specified Do Not Track (DNT) settings in their web browser before accessing those sites. The online properties and platforms The Order operates do not respond to Do Not Track signals. There is no established legal standard in place for how DNT signals should be honored; at this time, we do not respond to them. We anticipate and intend to honor any standard established in the future as internet privacy laws evolve. DISCLOSURE AND SHARING The Order of Sen-Taur will never sell or rent the personal or financial information you provide to any third party. Nor will we use personal or financial information in ways not described herein. The Order may contract with third parties to conduct surveys or assist with creating and distributing marketing materials for The Order of Sen-Taur and its services. In such cases, we will not share any personally-identifying information or financial information. The Order may offer pages on our site, such as forums, social network site(s), or guest books, where users may enter personal information. These pages may be publicly accessible and available to third parties via public search engines offering search services. Your data entry is voluntary, and you assume all liability for what you enter and agree to hold The Order of Sen-Taur harmless from any liability or harm that may occur. Suppose a written request is made to remove any personally-identifying content in one of these site areas. In that case, The Order of Sen-Taur will promptly remove that information from its sites and servers where possible. Still, we cannot guarantee complete removal from the Internet or other sites and users that have captured the data. If we are required by law to disclose personal information, such as to law enforcement or by court order, we will fully comply. By submitting your personal information, you authorize us to disclose personal information to law enforcement and comply with any proper legal order or requirement as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary. We utilize carriers, such as the US Postal Service, to fulfill orders, deliver packages and mail. We also use companies to process credit card payments. These third parties have access to some of your personal information needed to perform their limited functions but are not permitted to use it for other purposes. As part of our services, our websites may contain links to third-party websites, and their privacy policies will not be identical to ours. The Order of Sen-Taur is not and cannot be held responsible for the content, privacy practices, or agreements on those websites. We recommend you review the privacy policy posted on any site you access. Certain areas of the website(s) may allow you to log in to your account via a third-party, independent social media service. When you elect to do so, we may gain access to some of your account information associated with that service, such as your name or other information. The types of data that may be provided are determined and authorized by the policies of the specific third-party social media service used. You do not need to utilize a third-party social media service to access any area of our website(s). You may disable the connection you have established between your account on the third-party social media service and our site at any time.

By entering your personal and sensitive information as part of the registration or membership application process and clicking the submit button (as indicated on that website), you agree that you are at least 18 years old or older and are authorized to do so.
