What information do we collect about you?

We collect information about you when you submit an enquiry, access one of our services (i.e. register your child in LIFE Daycare), provide your details requesting further information, book into an event, give financially to the charity or request to join our mailing list. We may also collect your data in the form of CCTV footage used to maintain security on our campuses, and in the form of photos & videos taken at one of our events.

How will we use that information about you?

We initially collect information about you to process your enquiry, manage your booking or process your giving. We may then use your information to provide you with any service(s) we have agreed with you. We may process your information in selecting ‘Lookalike audiences’ for advertising and marketing via Social Media.

We may also contact you with information about further services or events that may be of interest to you, or to invite you to take part in feedback in relation to our services and events. In the case of financial giving, we may contact you to update you about our work or to invite you to fundraising and other events. We may also process personal information in order to protect the vital interests of you or another person; for example in pastoral care situations. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you. Most commonly, we will use your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests. Legitimate Interest means the interest of LIFE Church UK in conducting and managing our activities to enable us to give you the best church community, events, products and services and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data. You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you by emailing data@lifechurchhome.com

Photos and videos may be used as a part of our social media, web & marketing campaigns.
