Collecting personal information

From time to time, you will be asked to submit certain personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive or use some of the services and access some of the information on our website. We endeavour to collect and use your personal information only with your knowledge and consent - typically when you order and subsequently use products and services, make enquiries, register for information or other services, submit a job application or when you respond to communications from us (such as questionnaires or surveys). We will also need personal information in order to help us identify you when you contact us.

If you communicate with us by email over the internet you should be aware that the nature of the internet is such that unencrypted communication may not be secure and may pass through several different countries on route to us. Please do not email us with confidential or sensitive information such as your credit card details. We cannot accept responsibility for unauthorised access to your information that is outside our control.

We may combine this information with other information that we may hold about you if you are a member, or have made enquiries of us before. We may also obtain information from publicly available sources such as the electoral roll, church publications or other third parties who have a legitimate basis on which to pass on your information.

We will act in accordance with current legislation and we will provide a link to our Data Protection Notice every time we invite you to submit personal information to us. Our Data Protection Notice is given below.
