We are thoroughly committed to protecting your privacy. Therefore, we have developed this privacy policy in order to let you know how your personal data is accessed, processed and for what purposes, as well as the security measures we take in order to protect your personal data from being misused.
Personal Information
When navigating on our website, you may be asked (when submitting a message through our contact forms – if it is your desire to connect with us) to enter your name, email address and/or other details. We may use your these for the sole purpose of fulfilling your request. We will not share your personal information with our partners without your prior consent (unless required by law). By sending a message, you consent to having your personal details being processed by the administrators of our website and by church elders in order to purposefully reply to your enquiry.
If you are a church member, you may be asked to provide additional personal information, all under the scope and terms of our church membership. This is mainly for admin and communication purposes. If there are any other requirements, you will be informed by a church elder of all the implications and responsibilities that we, as a church and as a community must undertake.
We do not collect any sensitive data via this website. Sensitive information refers to personal data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
If at any point, the church administration may ask you details that could be classified as sensitive data, it will only be addressed by those especially appointed by the church leadership having had all safeguarding in place. (Example: We are excited and committed to supporting our partners at Christians Against Poverty. This is a national debt counselling charity focused on helping all of those who are caught under the chains of debt. In order to tackle financial struggles, a CAP or a church representative may ask you to provide us with more specific personal details. This will happen under the CAP Terms and Privacy Policy, and based on your specific consent).
Security
We prioritise security and the safety of your personal information. Therefore, we have set up a secure system to make sure your personal data is not accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation. We will only disclose your personal information if required by law, or in good faith (if such action is necessary) to those that help us maintain, provide and protect our website from spammers. The ultimate purpose is to protect the rights of our visitors.
