Support and donation enquiries

The Sisters of Mary Schools, through its Administrative, Research and Development Center (ARDC), handles enquiries about supporting the schools. This section covers enquiries sent through our website contact form and through a Google-hosted lead form in our advertisements. An enquiry is a request for information, not a donation or a commitment to give.

Our Google-hosted enquiry form requests your name and email address so ARDC can respond to your request about supporting education and student care. Our website contact and support-enquiry forms also collect the subject and message you provide. Website support enquiries are emailed to our designated support contact at jnl.pagobo@gmail.com. Successful website support submissions are measured by Google Ads to assess our campaigns; we do not send your name, email address or message as conversion data. An enquiry is not a completed donation. Please do not include payment card details, bank credentials, identity documents or sensitive information about children.

When you submit a Google-hosted form, Google processes the submission under its privacy policy and makes the information available to us through Google Ads. Authorized ARDC personnel use it to answer your enquiry and follow up on that request. We do not sell enquiry information, provide it to data brokers or add you to an unrelated mailing list. We will ask your permission before passing your contact details to a separate donor organization, including Fr. Al’s Children Foundation, Inc. (FACFI). Payment information and receipts are handled by the organization that receives any subsequent donation under its own policies.

We use Google Ads submission counts to measure enquiries generated by our advertisements. A form submission is not reported as a completed donation. Access to enquiry records is limited to personnel who need them to respond and administer the request. We keep them only as long as needed for that purpose and any applicable recordkeeping obligations, then delete or anonymize them.

You may ask to access, correct or delete your enquiry information, or ask us to stop following up, by contacting dpo@onesms.org. You can contact ARDC about your enquiry at ardc@onesms.org. Data protection correspondence may also be addressed to the ARDC Office, G/F Ray Grace Building, Girlstown Complex, Biga, Silang, Cavite 4118, Philippines. Enquiries and replies may be processed in the Philippines, while Google may process data in other countries as described in its policy.

Member conversations

The Community lounge is visible to signed-in members. Private chat groups are invitation-only; joining gives access to earlier messages in that group. Messages identify their author and link to the author’s member profile. We store messages, group memberships, invitations and read markers in the website database to provide this service.

You can edit or delete your own messages and leave a group. Group owners can invite members, rename their group or delete it. Deleting a message removes its text from the active chat database; deleting a group removes its message text and ends access for its members. Copies already seen or saved by recipients, and routine server backups, cannot be recalled through these controls.

Pusher Channels supplies live refresh signals and processes connection metadata such as IP addresses. We do not send chat message text or group names through that service. Messages travel through encrypted connections to our website, but this service is not end-to-end encrypted. Please share with care.

Optional profile visit sharing

Members browse profiles privately by default. If you enable profile visit sharing, we record your member ID, the visited member’s ID and the visit time to notify that member. Only the profile owner receives the notification, which shows your name, when you visited and a link to your profile. We do not include your IP address, location, search terms or reason for visiting in this feature.

While sharing is enabled, repeated visits to the same member are grouped into one alert per UTC day. Visit alerts expire after 30 days; expired records are removed when the recipient next loads their notifications. Other site activity and security records are covered by the rest of this policy.

You can withdraw sharing at any time in Profile visit privacy. Withdrawal stops future visit alerts and removes your existing visit alerts from the site. This cannot undo a notification someone has already seen. Your saved preference remains so we can respect your choice. Signed-out visits and visits to your own profile do not generate alerts. We do not add historical visits when you opt in.
