Why we collect your personal information

PCC Burbage is a non-profit organisation committed to raising up fervent followers of Jesus Christ who will reach out and impact communities, cities and nations for the Kingdom of God. To accomplish this, we provide a range of Christian programs and services including our church services, Next Step, PCC Kids, PCC Youth, community and missions projects. To participate in certain programs or activities, we need to collect some information from those who want to be involved with our church, enabling us to communicate with them and provide the requested services.

​

​

What personal and sensitive information we collect

The information that we collect about you will vary depending on the nature of involvement and the activities that you choose to be involved in. We endeavour to only ask you for information that is reasonably necessary for the activities you are seeking to be involved in. You are not required to provide the personal and/or sensitive information that we request, but if you chose not to provide it, it may hinder or prevent your involvement or inclusion in some activities and communications and the degree of pastoral support and care that we can provide you with.

The information that we collect includes:

• contact details (name, address, telephone numbers, email, etc.);

• personal details (birth date, marital status, gender, etc.);

• family details (spouse, children, etc.);

• education qualifications and occupation information (profession, job title, etc.).

Some personal information is considered ‘sensitive information’. At times we collect sensitive information about you, including:

• health information;

• religious information (attendance, denominational details, spiritual milestones)

• professional and practice information.

​
 

How do we collect personal data from you

We collect information directly from you, unless it is unreasonable or impractical to do so. Where we collect information from third parties and it is not personal information that is contained in a Commonwealth record, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information as required by law.

We collect personal information about partners, attenders, supporters, donors, volunteers, employees, contractors and visitors to our events by:

• any of the forms on our website, other electronic means, or paper forms (visitors card, decision card, contact information form, event registration, etc.);

• face-to-face meetings;

• email or social media message or conversation;

• phone calls; and

• voice or image recording.

We will advise you of the purposes for collecting the information at the point that it is collected, and of any third parties to whom the information is usually disclosed.
