- Information for financial and Gift Aid purposes
- Other information relevant to your church engagement and mission interests

We use this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service and in particular for the following reasons:
- To keep accurate internal records
- To provide you with information
- Fundraise and promote activities
- To enable pastoral support and visitation
- To process financial donations for financial and Gift Aid purposes
We need your consent to:
- Use your contact details that you give us to periodically send information which we think you may find interesting

We store your information securely on our computer system, we restrict access to those who have a need to know (for example only our Honorary Treasurer and those assisting this person will have access to personal financial information) and we train our staff/volunteers in handling information securely.
Controlling your personal information
Only relevant person data, such as your contact details, will be used only by those in the parish who have been approved by clergy to organise / manage ministries or events that may be of interest to you so that they can let you know what activities are available.
We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we are required to by law or you have given your consent. If you have signed up to a class or other service provided by an outside person or group we will pass your details to the professional worker providing that service. The group or sessional worker may hold additional information about your participation in local activities.
