Statement of Commitment to Privacy

Romford Elim Church is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We recognise the importance of handling personal information responsibly, securely, and transparently in accordance with UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

When individuals subscribe to our email newsletter or provide personal information through our website, we are committed to ensuring that their data is collected and used appropriately, lawfully, and only for the purposes for which it was provided.

We seek to create a culture of trust and transparency by ensuring that personal information is:

  • Collected fairly and with clear consent;
  • Used only for legitimate church communications, updates, newsletters, and event information;
  • Stored securely and protected against unauthorised access, misuse, or disclosure;
  • Kept accurate and up to date where possible; and
  • Retained only for as long as necessary.

We respect every individual’s right to privacy and their ability to control how their personal data is used. Subscribers may unsubscribe from communications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in emails or by contacting the church directly.

We believe that protecting personal data is everyone’s responsibility, and all those involved in the administration and communication activities of Romford Elim Church have a role to play in maintaining confidentiality, security, and trust.
