Who are we?

We’re Foundation, located at Cotham Parish Church, Cotham Road, Cotham, Bristol, BS6 6DR. In accordance with our values, we take protecting your privacy seriously, so we want to be transparent about how we handle your personal information.

What information are we collecting?

We only collect information that you choose to share with us, through the forms on this website. We ask for:

  • Your name - so we know what to call you

  • Your email address - so we can get back to you about your question or add you to the newsletter if you’ve signed up

  • A message - so we know what information you’re looking for 

There are three kinds of forms on this site. 

What do we collect that information for?

The contact form collects your name, email, and message. That information will then be used to contact you directly to respond to your enquiry. 

The newsletter form collects your name and email, and that information will be used to sign you up to our Foundation newsletter. 

On the Kids page we also have another newsletter form which collects your name and email, and will be used to sign you up to the early foundations newsletter.

  • Sign up for our newsletter

  • Contact us requesting more information about our church

  • Fill out any contact forms on our website

We will never sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

What are your rights?

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data: you can ask us what information we have about you stored

  • Correct any incorrect information we have

  • Delete your information: just ask us to remove your details from our records

  • Withdraw consent: unsubscribe from our newsletters at any time

  • Data portability: request a copy of your data in a common format

How long will we keep your information for?

We'll store your name and email in our email provider for as long as you want to receive communications from us. If you unsubscribe, or ask us to delete your information, we'll make sure it’s removed within 30 days.

How do we keep your information safe?

We make sure to protect your personal information by taking sensible steps to protect it, including storing it securely with a trusted email provider, in an account that only authorised staff have access to.
