THIS IS A PROPOSED VERSION NOT YET AGREED WITH PCC
What information do we collect?
We only collect what we really need. We may collect things like:
- your name and contact details,
- your date of birth,
- photos or videos (for example during church services or events),
- information you give us so we can care for you properly and keep you safe.
Why do we need your information?
We use your information to:
- help run church services, groups and events,
- keep in touch with you and your family,
- make sure everyone is safe,
- keep records the law says we must keep.
Who sees your information?
Only people at the church who need the information for their role can see it.
We do not share your information unless:
- you say it is okay, or
- we must do so by law, or
- it is needed to keep someone safe.
How do we keep your information safe?
We take care to keep your information secure and protected.
We do our best to stop it being lost, misused, or seen by the wrong people.
How long do we keep it?
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it, and then we safely delete or store it according to church rules.
Your choices and rights
If you are 13 or older, you can:
- ask what information we have about you,
- ask us to correct it if it is wrong,
- ask us to delete it if we no longer need it,
- change your mind if you have said yes to something (like photos).
If you are under 13, a parent or guardian usually helps with these choices — but your views still matter and will be listened to.
Who can you talk to?
If you have questions, or feel worried about how your information is used, you can talk to Ruth (Vicar) or Janice our administrator via the contact us page.
