Data Protection
Under Data Protection legislation, the church Charity Trustees of Basford Road Baptist Church are the Data Controller and can be contacted by e-mailing enquiries@basfordroadbaptist.org.uk Data Protection legislation allows us to process the information collection as we regard it as being in the church's legitimate interest.
If the only information you have given us is an email address to join our mailing list or have subscribed to the list directly via the Subscribe page then only your email address, and no other details, are stored at mailchimp.com purely only for emailing you updates and news. The email address is not stored anywhere else. The email address list is only accessible to the mailing list moderator. You can unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time by clicking on the link at the bottom of an email.
If you have given us information for other reasons like registration, entering the church directory, etc then your name and contact details are entered into a database which is accessed only by the Minister, Church Trustees or a Church Member nominated by the Minister and/or a Church Trustee. Your contact details will be removed from the database once you are no longer a member of the church congregation unless you wish to remain as one of our "Church Friends".
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 Data Protection Officer. You also have the right to ask for information which you believe to be incorrect to be rectified.
