Privacy Policy

Under Data Protection legislation the Charity Trustees of The Peoples Church (Banbury) are the Data Controller and can be contacted by ringing 01295268351 or emailing info@thepeopleschurch.org.uk.

We are collecting this information to enable the church to keep in touch with you and provide pastoral support as appropriate. Data Protection legislation allows us to process this information as we regard it as being in the church’s legitimate interest.

Your name and contact details will be entered into our church database which is held on the church office computer which is password protected and accessed only by the Ministers, Church Secretary and Church Administrators. Your contact details will be removed from the database once we are aware you no longer attend the church.

If you serve The Peoples Church (Banbury) as a member of staff or in a key role then we will pass on your name and contact details to the Baptist Union of Great Britain and/or the Southern Counties Baptist Association (of which we are members) to enable them to send you information relevant to your role. We will always ensure you are aware of what information is being shared with them and you will be able to decide which contact details are shared.

To enable us to provide adequate pastoral support to you and your family, one of the Ministers/pastoral team may record information which may be regarded as sensitive. This information will be stored (in password protected documents) on the church computer but the password will only be known by the Ministers/pastoral team. This information will NOT be disclosed to anyone else without your consent.

You have the right to ask to see any information we hold about you (including the pastoral support information) by submitting a ‘Subject Access Request’ to the Church Secretary. You also have the right to ask for information which you believe to be incorrect to be rectified.

If you are concerned about the way your information is being handled please speak to our Data Protection Trustee. If you are still unhappy you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
