Frikirken International Church respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information and describes your rights under applicable data protection law.
1. Who We Are
Frikirken International Church is the data controller for the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.
Frikirken International Church
Troensevej 9.1
9220 Aalborg Øst
Denmark
CVR: 21 84 17 49
Email: info@fintc.dk
Website: fintc.dk
Questions about our processing of personal data or requests concerning your personal information can be sent to info@fintc.dk.
2. What Personal Data We Process
Depending on your relationship with Frikirken International Church, we may process information such as:
- name, address, telephone number and email address;
- membership and church-related information;
- information relating to volunteers and employees;
- information relating to donations and financial administration;
- information provided when registering for church activities or events;
- information provided in connection with community and social initiatives, including Christmas support;
- information you voluntarily provide when contacting us through our website, by email, telephone or other communication channels;
- technical information necessary for the operation and security of our website.
Where required by law, we may also process CPR numbers for specific purposes, including statutory reporting concerning employees or eligible donations to the Danish tax authorities.
We only collect personal data that is relevant and necessary for the particular purpose. This reflects GDPR principles including purpose limitation and data minimisation.
3. Why We Process Personal Data
We may process personal data in order to:
- administer church membership and church activities;
- communicate with members, visitors, volunteers and other people connected with FINTC;
- organise services, events, groups and other church activities;
- administer volunteers and employees;
- administer donations, accounting and statutory reporting;
- administer community outreach and social-support activities;
- respond to enquiries and requests;
- fulfil contractual or legal obligations;
- maintain the operation and security of our website.
The legal basis for processing depends on the particular activity. Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on consent, contractual necessity, legal obligations, legitimate interests or another applicable basis under data protection law.
Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
4. Contact Forms and Website Enquiries
When you contact us through our website, we may collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number and message.
We use this information to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, provide the information or assistance you have requested.
Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive or confidential personal information in a general website contact form.
I particularly recommend that last sentence because your new website now has a general contact form.
5. Children and Young People
Some of our church activities and community initiatives involve children and young people.
We take particular care when processing children’s personal data and seek parental or guardian consent where consent is required and appropriate.
Datatilsynet notes that children and young people are entitled to particular protection of their personal information.
6. Sharing Personal Data
We do not sell personal data.
Where necessary, personal data may be shared with service providers that assist us with services such as website hosting, email, IT systems, accounting or other administration.
We may also disclose information to public authorities where required by law, including relevant tax or regulatory authorities.
Where an external provider processes personal data on our behalf, we seek to ensure appropriate data-protection arrangements are in place. Datatilsynet identifies this as part of a data controller’s responsibilities.
7. How Long We Keep Personal Data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for as long as required by applicable law.
Different retention periods may apply depending on whether the information relates to membership, employment, accounting, donations, events, community initiatives or correspondence.
When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised where appropriate. GDPR’s storage-limitation principle requires organisations not to retain personal data longer than necessary.
8. Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction.
The level of protection is determined according to the nature of the information and the risks associated with its processing.
9. Your Rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:
- receive information about how your personal data is processed;
- request access to your personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of your personal data;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to certain processing;
- receive certain personal data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Some rights are subject to conditions and exceptions under applicable law. Datatilsynet provides further guidance on these rights.
To exercise your rights, contact us at info@fintc.dk.
10. Cookies and External Services
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for its operation. If we use non-essential cookies, analytics or other tracking technologies that require consent, visitors will be provided with appropriate information and consent options.
We may also use or link to external services. Those services may process personal data according to their own privacy policies.
