Redeemer Metropolitan Community Church Privacy Policy Our Privacy Commitment Redeemer Metropolitan Community Church (RMCC) is committed to protecting the privacy of its members. The personal information you share with RMCC will be used to support the administration and management of ministries, delivery of services and maintaining programs offered by RMCC. We protect the personal information and adhere to all legislative requirements with respect to protecting privacy.
Why Does RMCC Gather Personal Information? Personal information is any information that identifies you as an individual. RMCC collects personal information for a variety of purposes, such as: Church Membership registration and listings; Church Directories; Volunteer and leadership development; Program and service registration, administration and delivery; Counseling and prayer support; and Church administration (tithing, offerings, payments owing, etc.)
How Does RMCC ensure privacy protections? We collect, use and disclose personal information only for the purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate for the administration and management of a church organization. Access to your personal information is on a “need to know” basis. We inform our church personnel and volunteers of the importance of protecting your personal information. We will also advise all church volunteers that personal information obtained during their service cannot for any purposes other than authorized church ministry. We will maintain adequate physical, procedural and electronic security with respect to offices and information storage facilities (e.g. filing cabinets) so as to protect personal information against such risks as unauthorized access, use, disclosure or destruction.
Tithing and Offering Information Access to information regarding your tithes and offerings to RMCC is restricted to: the church volunteers who collect and count the offerings; the Church Secretary for processing your income tax receipts; and the Treasurer who signs the offering tax receipts. You have the right to request access to information about your tithes and offerings. However, you do not have the right to access tithing/offering information to other identifiable RMCC members. All requests for access must be submitted to the Church office and we will endeavour to respond to your access request as soon as possible.
Prayer Requests We encourage our members to share their prayer requests so that we as a church may pray together. We recognize some of the requests are sensitive and very personal. We will ensure that the personal information contained in our prayer request list be limited only to the amount necessary.
RMCC Website We will carefully review the purpose and need before posting personal information on our church website and/or social media only with your permission. If personal information is posted, we will limit the amount of personal information to that which is necessary. Summary As part of our commitment to privacy, the pastor is to serve as the church’s Privacy Officer to ensure compliance with this policy and with appropriate privacy legislation.
