How do we protect your personal information?
We are committed to protecting your personal information. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption, to protect your personal information and privacy, and review those regularly. We protect your personal information using a combination of physical and IT security controls, including access controls that restrict and manage the way in which your personal information and data is processed, managed and handled. We also ensure that the Church of God working group who were given access to limited information are adequately trained in protecting your personal information. Our procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we share your personal information with you.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access any portal or account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password(s) with anyone.
In the unlikely event that we do suffer a security breach which compromises our protection of your personal information and we need to let you know about it, we will do so.
Data transfers, storage and the global handling of your personal information
The relevant Church of God will collect personal information from you in the country in which you live and from which you share your information to us through our website. Where the information is stored, we have put in place Binding Corporate Agreements to ensure that your information is safeguarded.
We will make sure that any transfers of your personal information from one country to another comply with those data protection and privacy laws which apply to us.
Philippine data protection laws, in particular, include specific rules on transferring personal information outside the Philippines.
When transferring personal information to affiliated Church of God outside the Philippines, we will:
• include the standard contractual clauses approved by the Data Privacy Commission for transferring personal information outside the Philippines into our contracts with those third parties; or
• ensure that the country in which your personal information will be handled has been deemed "adequate" by the Philippine Commission.
We will always co-operate with any regulators as required by law to ensure that we remain transparent about the way we handle your personal information
In any case, our transfer, storage and handling of your personal information will continue to be governed by this privacy policy. If you would like further information about the global handling of your personal information, please contact us at privacy@ 1churchofGod. com.
