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 Leadership team, Church Secretary and Church Administrator.

If you serve New Hope Church as a member 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 South Wales 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 Leadership 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 Leadership 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.
