The Catholic Business League (“CBL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through catholicbusinessleague.org (the “Site”) and our related programs, membership, events, and communications, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using the Site or providing information to us, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or provide us with personal information.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Information You Provide to Us
- Contact form: When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, the category of your inquiry, and your message.
- Membership applications: When you apply for or renew membership (Standard, Retiree, or Career Transition) or join Leadership Catholic, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, employer/professional information, and other details needed to process and administer your membership.
- Event registration: When you register for a breakfast meeting, quarterly event, the Annual CBL Mass, or other CBL event, we collect your name, contact information, and any details relevant to the event (such as dietary needs or guest information).
- Business directory and job board: If you submit a listing to our business directory, post a job opening, or upload a resume, we collect the information you choose to include in that listing or resume, which may be visible to other users of the Site.
- Newsletter and email sign-up: When you subscribe to our email updates, we collect your email address (and name, if provided).
- Donations and payments: Membership dues and donations are processed through PayPal. We do not collect or store your full payment card or PayPal account credentials on our Site — that information is collected and processed directly by PayPal in accordance with PayPal’s own privacy policy. We may receive confirmation that a payment was made, along with the payer’s name, email address, and amount, from PayPal.
- Other communications: If you correspond with us by email, phone, or through the Site, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
Information Collected Automatically

We use Google Analytics to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring website, in order to analyze traffic and improve the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

- Register you for events and communicate event details;
- Operate and maintain the business directory and job board;
- Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form;
- Send newsletters, event announcements, and other communications about CBL programs (you may opt out at any time, as described below);

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

- Business directory and job board: Information you voluntarily submit for a public directory listing, job posting, or resume may be visible to other visitors and members of the Site.
- Legal requirements: If required to do so by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the safety of others, or to investigate fraud.
- Organizational changes: In connection with a reorganization, merger, or transfer of CBL’s assets or operations, in which case any successor organization would be required to honor the commitments in this Privacy Policy.
