Trinity Church Milnthorpe respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information when navigating on our website. This privacy notice has been designed to inform you about the way we collect and process your personal information and to highlight your rights. Our privacy policy may change based on law requirements and technological advances. We may update this privacy notice; feel free to regularly check this page for the latest copy.
Collected Data
Personal data refers to any information capable of identifying an individual. It does not include anonymised data. When submitting a message on our website, you agree to have your personal information (name, email, contact details) accessed and processed by members of Trinity Church Milnthorpe in order to respond to your request. We will only use your personal details for the purpose you have enquired and will not disclose your data unless required by law or based on your consent.
Sensitive Information
We do not collect any Sensitive Data about you through the means of this website. This refers to data that includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data. We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offences. Based on our church-related activities some of our church members may (or may not) ask you questions that relate to any sensitive information. You are not obliged to provide these details, especially if you feel uncomfortable. In any case, sensitive information is processed only under your consent by those church representatives who have been designated under safeguarding regulations and is never processed online through our website (unless you specifically mention these things when submitting a message using our contact form).
Cookies
Like most websites, trinitychurchmilnthorpe.org.uk uses cookies. These are small pieces of information stored on your device, that provide us with certain information in order to improve security and user experience (to analyze performance on our website, to understand the way users access it). We receive analytical information from 3rd party providers (Google Analytics). Most of the details collected through cookies are anonymous and non-personal. However, strictly for security purposes, our website may access your IP to help protect against spammers or to check whether you have access to certain pages or not. Therefore, our cookies could be classified as strictly necessary, functionality cookies, analytical and performance cookies. You may block them by checking your browser’s settings.
3rd Party
Our website uses a range of web applications to help us provide it in a more relevant and interactive way (example: SoundCloud sermons integration). Some pages may also include any links to our church partners, organizations we recommend or other 3rd parties. We are not in control of the information they collect, nor responsible for their privacy policy. We encourage you to be aware when sharing your personal information on any website you visit. We share your details only with IT administrators, hosting and management service providers only for the purpose of securely providing the means by which this website runs, and occasionally to our partners – if you have given specific consent.
We are not involved in any marketing scheme, however, be aware that there are websites that may target you with ads based on your browsing history.
We require all 3rd parties to whom we transfer data to respect the security of your personal information in accordance with the law. Some of our service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. This is done safely under adequacy directive or under a necessary safeguarding policy.
We partner with Parr Street Church in Kendal and a number of other local churches for various spiritual and social purposes. We do not share your information with any of our partners unless prior consent has been given. However, members of our church (such as elders, church administrators, web admins) may have access to your personal information in order to respond to your request, for admin purposes and/or to ensure the security of this website and its visitors.
Security and Retention
We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation. We take this very seriously. While try our best to keep up with the latest security measures in order to protect data, but we cannot 100% guarantee the security of data sent over the internet or any other wireless network, and are not responsible for the actions of any 3rd parties that may receive such information. Please beware of data fraud and try keeping your sensitive information (such as passwords) safe. We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose of your requests and may share them with higher authorities for legal purposes (when required by law).
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, restriction, transfer, object to processing, or request erasure of any data we have about you. If you would like to express any of these rights, please leave a message on our contact page. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Your security is one of our priorities.
