Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – Implemented 25th May 2018, Crich Baptist Church is required to keep the personal information related to our members and other friends who may attend our meetings, or who have regular direct contact with the church, in a safe and appropriate manner.
Such personal information is for the purpose of being able to contact each other, to facilitate pastoral support and enable our Treasurer to organise the financial support of the church.
A database, comprising the name and address, together with the telephone and e-mail details of members and other interested friends who may be in regular contact with the church will be maintained by our Data Controller. This database will be password protected, and maintained by our Pastor, who will act as our Data Controller.
Church Directory
From time-to-time, a printed Church Directory will be produced. This Church Directory will contain the contact details of church members, as well as other friends in regular contact with the church. The only contact details appearing on this printed Church Directory will be of those members and friends who have indicated their willingness for their information to be made available in hard copy, by them signing a data protection form.
