Information we may collect

We may receive personal information when you contact Pagan Ministry Church by email or otherwise communicate with us.

This may include:

  • your name and contact details
  • information contained within correspondence
  • information you voluntarily provide concerning ceremonies, ministry, pastoral support or other enquiries
  • technical information routinely recorded by the website or hosting provider, such as IP address, browser type and access logs

Please only provide information that is necessary for your enquiry.

How we use personal information

Personal information may be used to:

  • respond to enquiries
  • provide information about ceremonies, ministry or pastoral support
  • communicate with people requesting assistance or services
  • maintain appropriate administrative records
  • protect the security and proper operation of the website
  • comply with legal or regulatory obligations

Where information relates to religious or spiritual beliefs, we recognise that this may constitute sensitive personal information and will treat it accordingly.

Lawful basis

Depending upon the circumstances, personal information may be processed because:

  • you have given your consent
  • processing is necessary in order to respond to a request you have made
  • it is necessary for the legitimate interests of Pagan Ministry Church, provided those interests do not override your rights
  • processing is required by law

Where explicit consent is required for sensitive personal information, it will be sought where appropriate.

Sharing information

Pagan Ministry Church does not sell personal information.

Information will not normally be shared with third parties unless this is necessary to respond to your request, provide an agreed service, comply with the law, protect somebody from serious harm, or operate the website and associated services.

Website hosting and email providers may process limited information as part of providing their technical services.

Retention

Personal information will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including any appropriate legal, safeguarding or administrative requirements.

Information which is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised where practicable.

Website, cookies and external links

The website may use technical cookies or similar technologies necessary for its proper operation.

Links may be provided to external websites for information or reference. Pagan Ministry Church is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

If additional analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies are introduced, this Privacy Policy and any appropriate cookie controls will be updated.

Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

However, no method of electronic communication or internet storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your rights

Depending upon the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights to:

  • request access to personal information held about you
  • request correction of inaccurate information
  • request deletion of information
  • object to or restrict certain processing
  • withdraw consent where processing is based upon consent
  • request transfer of your information where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, contact Reverend@PaganMinistry.Church.

You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe your personal information has not been handled appropriately.
