Privacy Notice

This privacy notice explains how Devizes Adventist Church handles personal information, including special category data such as information about church membership and religious belief, which is handled with extra care under the UK GDPR.

What we collect

We collect information you give us through forms on this website, such as your name, contact details and any message you send. We may also keep records relevant to church membership and pastoral care.

Special category data

Information about your religious beliefs, health or other special category data is handled with particular care under the UK GDPR. We only process it with your explicit consent or where necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, and we keep it secure.

How we use it

We use your information to respond to your enquiry, to provide pastoral care, to send you communications you have asked for, and to administer church activities and giving.

Sharing and storage

We do not sell your information. We share it only where necessary, for example with those organising an event you have registered for, or where required by law. We store it securely and only for as long as needed.

Your rights

You have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact [hello@hopevalleychurch.org.uk].

This is placeholder policy text for demonstration. Each church must replace it with its own approved policy, reviewed regularly.
