PRIVACY POLICY
Information Collected:
We appreciate that privacy is very important. We have adopted this Privacy Policy
in recognition of the right of people to keep their personal information private.
This Privacy Policy covers the church's treatment of personally
identifiable information that we collect or hold.
1. The information we collect
The church may collect general information about you, such as your name,
address, and contact details so the church can contact you. We may also collect
this and other types of personal information during the course of
our relationship with you, for example, when you wish to obtain services from the
church, when you register for conferences or events, when you register for online
access to the contributions system, when you participate in church activities or
complete other forms. The information collected may include some sensitive information.
Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information will be made clear
at the time of collection. If you do not provide us with certain information, we may be
unable to provide you with access to some of our services or the assistance you have requested.
Anyone can generally visit the church website without revealing who they are or other personal

church will not collect any personal information about visitors to the website except when
they knowingly and voluntarily provide it.
2. How we use your information
The church will use the personal information we collect for the purpose disclosed at the time
of collection, or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not use your personal
information for any other purpose without first seeking your consent, unless where authorized or
required by law. Generally we will only use and disclose your personal information as follows:
(a) to establish and maintain your involvement with the church, including providing you with
newsletters or other information;
(b) to provide the products or services you have requested from the church;
(c) to answer your inquiry;

(e) to assist us in making the church's sites and services more valuable to our community;

us to operate the church and provide the services you have requested; and
