Faith Dimensions Church is committed to respecting your privacy, protecting your personal information and handling your data responsibly.
This Privacy Notice explains what information we collect, why we use it, how we protect it and the rights you have under UK data protection law.

For the personal information we control, we act as a data controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended.
Depending on how you interact with Faith Dimensions Church, we may collect personal information including:
Personal details: Name, postal address, email address, telephone number, date of birth and relevant family or emergency-contact information.
Church involvement: Membership information, attendance, participation in services, ministries, volunteering and church activities.
Pastoral and prayer information: Information voluntarily shared when requesting prayer, counselling, spiritual guidance or pastoral support.
Financial information: Donation records, payment references and information necessary for accounting and financial administration.
Photographs and recordings: Images, video and audio captured during services, celebrations and church events.
Website information: Contact-form submissions, technical information such as IP addresses, and relevant cookie or website usage information.
We aim to collect only information that is relevant and necessary for the purpose for which it is needed.
We use personal information to carry out our church’s activities and charitable purposes.
This may include maintaining church membership records; organising services and events; communicating important church information; responding to enquiries; providing pastoral care and prayer support; managing volunteers and community programmes; administering donations; safeguarding participants; and maintaining the security and functionality of our website.
Our lawful grounds for processing personal information depend on the activity:
Legitimate interests: For appropriate day-to-day church administration, responding to enquiries and organising activities, provided these interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Consent: Where we ask for your permission for a particular activity, such as certain communications, photographs or disclosures of personal information.
Legal obligations: Where we need to retain or disclose information to comply with applicable laws, including accounting and safeguarding requirements.
Other applicable lawful grounds: Where necessary and permitted by data protection legislation for a specific activity.
Where consent is our lawful basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.
Participation in a church may reveal information about an individual’s religious beliefs. Prayer requests and pastoral conversations may also contain sensitive personal information.
We recognise the confidential nature of such information and take additional care when handling it.
Where applicable, we process information revealing religious beliefs under the UK GDPR provisions for not-for-profit organisations with religious aims, subject to the required safeguards. In other circumstances, we rely on an appropriate legal condition, such as explicit consent, where required.
Pastoral information is shared only with authorised individuals who have a legitimate need to know, or where disclosure is otherwise lawfully justified.
We do not make sensitive personal information publicly available without an appropriate lawful basis.
Faith Dimensions Church recognises the importance of protecting children’s personal information.
Where information about children or young people is collected for church activities, youth programmes or safeguarding purposes, access is restricted to appropriate authorised individuals.
We seek consent from parents or guardians where required and apply appropriate safeguards to children’s records, photographs and recordings.
Personal information concerning children is not used for purposes unrelated to the activities for which it was collected unless permitted by law.
Our worship services, events and other church activities may be photographed, recorded or livestreamed.
These materials may be used for church communications, websites, online worship services, social media and the promotion of church activities where a lawful basis applies.
We take reasonable steps to inform people when photography or recording is taking place and obtain consent where required, particularly for identifiable children and sensitive situations.
If you have concerns about appearing in a photograph, video or livestream, please speak with a member of our church team or contact us using the details in this notice.
Please be aware that material already publicly broadcast or shared by others may not always be fully retrievable.
Faith Dimensions Church accepts financial support for its ministry and charitable activities.
Where you make a bank transfer, we may receive your name, payment reference, donation amount and transaction information through our banking records.
We use this information for financial administration, reconciliation, accounting and compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Our website currently provides bank-transfer details rather than processing online card donations directly.
If we introduce online giving or church-management services, including ChurchSuite, we will update our privacy information as appropriate and explain any relevant additional data processing.
When you contact us through our website, email or other communication channels, we may collect your name, contact details and the information contained in your enquiry.
We use this information to respond to your message, offer appropriate support and follow up where necessary.
Please avoid submitting highly sensitive information through a general website contact form unless it is necessary.
Our website uses WordPress and may process limited technical information to maintain functionality, prevent abuse and protect website security.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Essential cookies help provide website functionality, security and remember relevant user preferences.
Other technologies may support website analytics, embedded media or third-party content, where enabled.
Where consent is required by law, we will request it before using the relevant non-essential cookies or technologies.
You can manage relevant choices through our website’s cookie preferences facility or your browser settings.
Our website may contain links to, or embedded content from, external services such as YouTube, Google Maps and social media platforms.
When you interact with these services, they may collect information according to their own privacy policies and cookie practices.
Faith Dimensions Church is not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites.
We encourage you to review their privacy notices before providing personal information.
We do not sell personal information.
Where necessary and lawful, we may share relevant information with trusted service providers supporting our website, communications, administration, financial records or church activities.
We may also share information with authorised church personnel, professional advisers, regulators, safeguarding authorities or law-enforcement agencies where there is an appropriate legal basis or obligation.
Service providers acting on our behalf are expected to handle personal information securely and only for authorised purposes.
We apply additional safeguards when sharing sensitive information, including religious or pastoral information.
Some technology or communication service providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where international transfers are subject to UK data protection restrictions, we will ensure that an appropriate legal mechanism applies, such as UK adequacy regulations, recognised contractual safeguards or another lawful exception.
You may contact us for further information about relevant international data transfers and safeguards.
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where we must retain it to meet legal obligations.
Retention depends on the type of information and its purpose.
Membership information may be retained throughout your active involvement and for a justified period afterwards. Contact enquiries are retained for as long as necessary to respond and manage any follow-up. Pastoral records are reviewed in light of their confidential nature and continuing need. Financial records are retained for applicable accounting and legal requirements.
Where information is no longer required, we take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
We use appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
These may include access controls, secure systems, confidentiality procedures and limiting personal information to those who require it for authorised purposes.
Although no system can guarantee absolute security, we take the protection of personal information seriously.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the right to:
Be informed about how your personal information is used.
Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request erasure of personal information where applicable.
Restrict or object to certain processing activities.

Not be subject to certain decisions based solely on automated processing.
You have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before responding.
We aim to respond without undue delay and within the timeframe required by data protection law, normally one calendar month, subject to applicable extensions.
We may contact members, visitors and supporters about church services, activities, events and other relevant matters.
Where communications constitute direct marketing, including certain fundraising messages, we will send them only where we have consent or another applicable permission under data protection and electronic communications law.
You may opt out of such communications at any time by following an unsubscribe option where provided or contacting us directly.
If you have concerns about how Faith Dimensions Church handles your personal information, we encourage you to contact us so that we can investigate and address your concerns.
