Privacy Policy

The UCKG respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy notice is for individuals who have explicitly consented to the UCKG contacting them via channels such as e-mail, text message, WhatsApp and telephone. This privacy notice will inform you as to how we look after your personal data, what your privacy rights are and how the law protects you.

When you fill in any form provided by Victory Youth Group, we may collect and store the information you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, telephone number, and any other information or data you choose to submit through the form.

Apart from the information you provide directly to us through forms, emails, telephone calls, or other communications, we do not collect or store any additional personal information unless it is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

It is important that you read this privacy notice 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.

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). We may collect, use, store and transfer the following different kinds of personal data about you:

Identity Data includes first name and last name.

Contact Data includes email address, home address and telephone numbers (mobile and landline).

You may give us your Identity and Contact Data by filling in forms, writing to us or by providing this information over the telephone.

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct communications that promote our aims to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to communications that promote our aims at any time by contacting us.

We may share your personal data with external third parties. These external third parties may include service providers who provide IT and system delivery/administration services, professional advisers who provide, for example, accountancy and legal services and regulators and other authorities who may require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances. All third parties are required to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it lawfully.

We will not transfer, store or process your personal data outside the European Economic Area.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have an operational need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where legally required to do so.

We will retain your personal data for five years.

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
