​1. What Information We Collect and Why

​

We collect personal information in the following ways:​​

​

• Email updates: If you subscribe to our updates, we collect your name and email. We only do this with your consent.

​

We may also receive your information through trusted third parties such as Stewardship, CAF, PayPal, or Virgin Money Giving when you make a donation through their platforms.

​

We only use your information for the purposes it was collected unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for a related purpose.​

​

All third parties must respect your data and only use it under our instructions.​

​
