Privacy Policy

The Small Church Connexion (SCC) is an unincorporated group of volunteers who provide services to small (under 40 member) churches (predominantly Baptist).  We may process “personal data” and/or “special category personal data” (as defined in UK data protection legislation) as part of our services for churches as well as for administration.

Information is kept while it remains relevant to the reason for collection and/or if there is a statutory retention period.  All reasonable security measures are in place, whether the data are processed electronically or on paper.  Data may be shared with third parties as part of the services, for administrative purposes and/or if we are required by law to do so.  We cannot accept any liability for any processing conducted by any third party outside our remit.

A “Third party” will include any participating church, or any partner organisation, for example, the Baptist Union.  As required by law, a cookie audit has been conducted on our website.  Cookies are internet files utilised by websites.  The website utilises these files for security and analytical purposes to help us monitor and improve the site by collating visit statistics.

You are at liberty to control these cookies through your browser settings.  None of the above affects your rights under the legislation, in particular your right to access the data we may hold on you.  If you wish to request a copy of your data, please submit to us, eg by using the Contact Us page.

Please include enough information to enable us to identify you and search for appropriate data.  If you are dissatisfied with this policy, have queries about our data protection procedures or wish to lodge a complaint, please contact us in the first instance.  Thereafter you have the right to submit a complaint to the Supervisory Authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO):
