Important information

This privacy policy aims to give you information on how we collect and process your personal data through your use of this website, including any data you may provide through this website or otherwise. The data is then controlled by Jesus Ministry, but processed by two additional churches (listed below), so you may receive communications from all three organisations.

It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights please contact contact@jesusministry.co.uk

Your personal data - what is it?

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller's possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the 'GDPR').

Who are we?

Jesus Ministry is a Christian ministry led by a group of key churches, St Leonard's Chesham Bois and Chiltern Church. Jesus Ministry is the data controller (referred to in this privacy policy as either "JM", "we", "us" or "our"). This means we decide how your personal data is processed, for what purposes, and are ultimately responsible for your data. Your data is stored in MailChimp or ChurchSuite, cloud-based databases which can be accessed by the administrators of Jesus Ministry, St Leonard's Chesham Bois and Chiltern Church. They are data processors and will communicate with you in accordance to your communication settings, about anything Jesus Ministry related.
