Almond Tree Ministries is committed to the highest standards when protecting your privacy. The information below explains when and why we collect personal information from those who engage with this ministry, including how we use it, how it is kept secure, and the conditions under which it may be disclosed to others.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Almond Tree Ministries will only collect personal information where it is relevant to one or more of its functions or activities such as one of our events, subscribing to our newsletters, collection of data from our website or engaging with us through various other means such as social media. The information obtained may include your name, email address, telephone/mobile number and other details which may be requested at various times for the purpose of our events such as location, age or church attended. Data information such as your IP address, cookies and what pages are accessed and when, are also collected.

We use your information to process a product or resource which you have purchased, update records in relation to attendance at our events, processing a donation or payment you have made, communicating with you, keeping you updated, responding to views or comments you have made, notifying you of changes to our services, provide some other appropriate service or to enable us to meet all our legal and statutory obligations as necessary.

We will never sell your information to third parties. It may be necessary to pass your information on to a third-party associated with us to complete tasks and provide services to you on our behalf (for example to register you with an external event connected with us.) However, when we use third-party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond Almond Tree Ministries unless it is necessary for you to engage with one of our services, you have requested us to do so, or we are required to do so by law, for example, by a court order or for prevention of fraud or other crime.
