We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 although certain third party sites that we link to may do so. These third-party sites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide information on the St. Joseph Web site without their permission.

How We Use Information Collected
We may use information that you provide us in the following ways:

• For the purposes for which you specifically provided the information, for example, when you request that additional information be sent to you, we will use your personal information to process your request.
• To send you e-mail notifications about our new or existing services, special offers, or to otherwise contact you.
• To allow us to personalize the content and advertising that you and others see based on personal characteristics or preferences.
• To enhance existing features or develop new features, products and services.

We may combine the information that we collect from you on the St. Joseph Web site with information that you provide to us in connection with your use of our other products, services and web sites.

We may use third-party service providers to facilitate some aspects of our services or fulfill your requests. These service providers may be supplied with or have access to your personally identifiable information solely for the purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf.

We may disclose and use personally identifiable information in special circumstances where it is necessary to enforce our Terms of Use (for example, when necessary to protect our intellectual property rights). We may also disclose personally identifiable information when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires us to do so.
