This privacy notice is to let you know how we promise to look after your personal information. This includes what you tell us about yourself, what we learn by having you as a member of the church, and the choices you give us about what groups you would like to be part of and other church activities. This notice explains how we do this and tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

At Jubilee Church Hull, we are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. All staff and volunteers must have read, understand and follow our Data Protection Policy which can be viewed on request.

As well as our Privacy Promise, your privacy is protected by law. This section explains how that works.

• To fulfil an agreement we have with you, or
• When it is our legal duty, or
• When it is in our legitimate interest, or
• When you consent to it

A legitimate interest is when an organisation has a business or commercial reason to use your information. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is.

Here is a list of all the ways that we may use your personal information, and which of the reasons we rely on to do so. This is also where we tell you what our legitimate interests are.
