Privacy notice

Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is Tamworth Christadelphian Church. For any privacy question or to exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@tampal.tijamo.com.

What we collect

• Your name, and whether you are a member or a visitor.
• Optionally, contact and address details you or an administrator choose to store.
• Records of which meetings you attended. Because our meetings are religious, an attendance record reveals information about your religious beliefs.

Why this is “special category” data

Attendance at a Christadelphian meeting reveals your religious beliefs, which is “special category” personal data under Article 9 of the UK GDPR and receives extra protection.

Our lawful basis

• Your explicit consent (Article 9(2)(a)) to record your attendance and to store your contact details. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Not-for-profit religious body processing (Article 9(2)(d)): as a religious community we may process members’ data for our legitimate church activities, and we do not disclose it outside the church without your consent.

How we protect it

• Data is stored in the United Kingdom / EU region and encrypted in transit.
• Access is restricted by role: attendance and contact details are visible only to administrators (and to you, for your own records).
• Every change to your data is recorded in an internal audit log.
• We use only strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in. We use no analytics or advertising trackers, so no cookie consent banner is needed.

How long we keep it

We keep member records for as long as you are part of the church family. Visitor contact details are removed after a period of inactivity (by default 24 months) unless you ask us to keep them. Attendance records may be kept in anonymised form for our own record-keeping.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the data we hold about you (access & portability);
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• withdraw consent and have your data erased;
• restrict or object to processing.

To exercise any of these, contact privacy@tampal.tijamo.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
