What information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you submit an on-line enquiry, provide your details requesting further information, give financially to the charity or request to join our mailing list.
We may also collect your data in the form of images and audio on our live stream of services, if you stand within the parameters of the camera or use the microphone.
For children and youth, we hold current and relevant consent forms.
How will we use that information about you?
We initially collect information about you to process your enquiry, communicate with you or process your giving. We may then use your information to provide you with any service(s) we have agreed with you and keep you informed. This information will be kept securely.
Sharing your information
We will not normally share any information we hold about you with others without your prior consent unless one of the following exceptions apply. Information may be shared between CLC staff or with authorised volunteers in order to effectively provide services to you. We may disclose information we hold about you if:
- We feel there is a legitimate reason for us to do so. E.g. if you have requested to join a group
- It is necessary for law enforcement or similar purposes e.g. to paramedics if a life is in danger
- It is a necessary part of providing you with our service(s) or contacting you as a member, donor or customer – for example, by using a third party mailing house to process our communications

Third parties we may share your data with based on these reasons are:
- HMRC

How long will we keep your data?
We will retain your information for as long as you are registered with us as interested in or using our services.

Even if your information is removed from our database, some personal data will continue to be archived in line with HMRC or other legal regulations, or to continue providing you with a service you are currently using.
