Who we are

The Apostolic Church, Reading ("we"), 5-23 Whitley Wood Lane, Reading RG2 8PN, is responsible for the personal information you give us through this website. You can contact us about anything in this notice at [email protected].

What we collect and why

• Contact form and "Join now": your name, email address, optional phone number and your message. We use these only to reply to you and, if you ask, to help you get involved in church life.
• "BE inspired" sign-up: your email address, used only to send you church news and updates. You can ask us to stop at any time by replying to any update or emailing us.

Our lawful basis is your consent, and our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. We never sell your information or share it for marketing.

These providers may process data outside the UK under appropriate safeguards. The website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies and without identifying you.

How long we keep it

We keep messages for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, and mailing-list addresses until you ask us to remove them.
