This privacy statement applies to the processing of:
- the personal information provided by members, donors, relations and volunteers, and
- data obtained as a result of your visit to and use of the website (www.cgk.nl).
Processing your data
The Services Office maintains an address file of CGK addresses. In it, personal details of other relations are also recorded. Relations are persons who hold positions within deputations and committees appointed by the General Synod, have signed up for a digital newsletter or subscribe to one of the periodical magazines for which the Services Office maintains the membership records.
Only the following personal data are processed from a church member:
- name, first names, initials, titles, gender, address, postal code, place of residence,
church number and similar data intended for communication; - person's bank and giro account number if paid
subscription; - membership of subscriptions to periodical magazines.
In addition, the following personal data are processed of persons holding positions within the church body:
- e-mail address and phone number;
- function within the church body.
Of persons who are sent digital newsletters, a file was created containing
only those personal data required for transmission.
Data exchange
The performance of its duties may entail the Services Office sharing data, including personal data, with other parts of the church body. This is done on the basis of a legal basis or a cooperation agreement.
The purpose of processing your personal data may involve us sharing personal data with other organisations. Insofar as there is no explicit consent or legal obligation on your part, this sharing of data will only take place on the basis of the performance of the agreement between you and the Services Agency or when the Services Agency has a legitimate interest in doing so.
The Services Agency will not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise make your personal data commercially available to third parties, except as described in this privacy notice or except with your prior consent.
Personal data security
The Services Office ensures appropriate security of the personal data it holds, in line with applicable legal requirements and guidelines.
Retention period personal data
The Services Office does not retain personal data it processes for longer than is necessary for the purpose of data processing or required under the Archive Act.
Your privacy rights
You have the right to inspect your personal data (Article 35 of the Wbp) and the right to request correction or deletion of your personal data (Article 36 of the Wbp). In addition, you can object to the use of your data.
If you would like to know what personal data the Services Office processes about you, you can submit a written request for inspection. The Services Agency will process your request within 4 weeks.
