Privacy Policy

City Church respects and values your personal information. Our privacy policy has been written with you in mind, to be readable, transparent and honest. Your privacy is a top priority for us, and we remain committed to complying fully with New Zealand privacy laws. This privacy policy details our use, collection, maintenance and distribution of personal information.

Collection and Use

City Church lawfully collects your personal information (i.e. such as your name, age, gender, email, etc.) for the purposes outlined at the time of collection. Supply is voluntary and is commonly used internally to provide services or to respond to enquiries.

It is your right to interact with us anonymously, provided it is practical and lawful.

Wherever possible, we will permanently destroy personal information upon your request, or when there is no longer an operational or legal need for us to retain it.

Photographs and Video

In the digital age, City may from time to time publish photographs or videos of our church services, events and activities. These images are used to record, promote and celebrate our ministries in print and digital formats (i.e. on our website, social media, newsletters, brochures, invitations, PowerPoint presentations, etc.).

Please let us know if you do not wish to have your image used in this way. We will never knowingly publish anything that would be objectionable, embarrassing or hurtful to anyone, and will gladly remove any photographs or videos upon request.

Third Parties

City Church does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to anyone.

We may share your personal information with third-party affiliates, vendors, partners and law enforcement authorities where necessary to provide services, or required by law (e.g. court order).

Security

We take good and reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal information. We have implemented processes, technologies and procedures that are designed to safeguard access and theft from unauthorised parties.

External Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites, which in turn, may include links to other websites. Our privacy policy does not apply to external websites and the personal information they collect. We recommend you review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Cookies

Like most website operators, we use 'cookies' to automatically collect non-personally-identifying information (i.e. your IP address) whenever you interact with our online home. This is used to access aggregated traffic data and how the site might be enhanced or improved.

A 'cookie' is a small text file which is stored on your computer, not the website. Please see your browser's help files for ways you can activate, manage or disable this function.

Consent

Through use of this website, you consent to this privacy policy. City Church Christchurch reserves the right to modify and amend this policy at any time. We recommend you return periodically for updates.
