OCSG’s privacy policy
Privacy policy
How we use the information you give us
Your privacy is important to us. We won’t share your data with third parties, except where this is necessary to run events for which you have registered. The only people with access to OCSG records are the authorised administrators of OCSG and St Michael at the North Gate church and their IT support services.
Emails and letters or phone calls from us to you
If at any point you’d like to be removed from our mailing list and have your data deleted, please contact us, remembering to include your name and contact address.
We will only send you emails or letters when we, or others, have forthcoming events or themes that you’ve expressed an interest in, or where we have important news to share about OCSG, or to progress your registration for an event. If we do not have an email address for you, we will attempt to use one of the other forms of contact (letter or phone) if you have provided them. We review the data we hold periodically, and if we loose contact with you, your record will be deleted during one of these ‘data cleaning’ sessions.
If at any point you’d like to be removed from our mailing list and have your data deleted, please contact us, remembering to include your name and contact address. You can also click on the unsubscribe link in every email that we send you.
Responding to the General Data Protection Regulations 2018
Our responsibilities include ensuring that we have your consent to the use the data you have given us. The Information Commissioner’s Office states that there is no time limit to such consent, but we will delete your data if you ask us (see above) or if we loose contact with you. We have amended some of our forms (both paper and web based) to ensure this is clear to you.
When subscribing to our mailing list or registering for an event, and giving us your contact details you will be giving this consent and we will confirm the data we hold for you.
The only other data we will hold for you is related to the progress of your attendance at one of our events. This is more of a contractual nature, ensuring we record your application and attendance and keep track of any payment (where relevant). We occasionally record semi-sensitive information relating to attendance at an event. An example of this might be if wheelchair access is required. This is essential for your health and safety and for the proper management of such events.
