Privacy policy

The Maronite Diocese of Antelias respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect on this website, why, and what your rights are.

Who we are

This is the official website of the Maronite Diocese of Antelias (Lebanon). To contact us about your data: communications@anteliasdiocese.com.

What we collect

  • Contact form and social-service requests: your name, email, phone number (optional) and message. We use them only to answer you.
  • Newsletter: your email address, after you confirm the subscription yourself. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every message.
  • Registry of the diocese's families abroad (Diaspora): it has its own privacy statement describing in detail what is collected and who can see it.
  • Registration forms for events: what you enter in the form, used only to organise the event.
  • Website search: we keep the words searched for, to improve the content, without the IP address and without linking them to a person.
  • Visit statistics: aggregate figures (most visited pages, country, type of device), with no advertising profiles and never sold to anyone.

Cookies

We use only necessary cookies: remembering your language and theme (light/dark) and protecting the forms. No advertising cookies and no social-network trackers.

Services from other providers

  • Google Maps: the map on parish pages loads when you reach it; Google then receives technical information from your browser.
  • YouTube: no video is loaded before you press play.
  • Listening to texts: uses your own device's voice; the text is not sent to any service.
  • AI assistant: when you use it, your question is sent to the service provider to produce an answer from the published content of this website only. Do not type personal information in it.

How long we keep data

Messages are kept for as long as needed to handle them, then deleted or archived. Your email stays on the newsletter list until you unsubscribe.

Your rights

You may ask to see, correct or delete your data. Write to communications@anteliasdiocese.com and we will answer as soon as possible.
