Privacy policy
St Luke, Cranham Park ("we" "us") will use reasonable endeavours to safeguard the privacy of 'St Luke's Cranham with Moor Lane Church' web site ("our web site") visitors. This policy explains what information we gather when you visit our web site and explains how we use that information.
Please note that our web site may contain links to other web sites, and that we are not responsible for the privacy practices on these web sites.
Data you provide
There are no forms on the web site which request specific personal details. If you contact us, as well as providing an e-mail address you may provide other personal details at your discretion. This information will be stored on computers and back-up media owned by us and our staff.
We will use information you provide, including personal information, in order to respond to your requests. We may, from time to time, contact you with information about us, our activities and other institutions and events we consider may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such communications, please let us know by contacting the website team manager via , or our church office.
We do not sell, lease or provide personal information to third parties unless we explicitly tell you we will do so, or are required to do so by law.
Data collected to improve our site
As with the vast majority of web sites, we automatically log certain information about every request made of our site by the originating client or web proxy in order to help us develop our web site further.
This information includes the name or network address of the computer making the request as well as various pieces of technical data such as the HTTP request (which contains the identification of the document requested), the date and time of the connection, the status code of the request (success or failure etc.), the number of data bytes sent in response etc, the content of the HTTP User-Agent header supplied by the browser and the contents of the HTTP Referrer header supplied by the browser, which may include the search string you entered.
We also use Google Analtyics to generate detailed statistics about how you found and used our site, including the pages visited, how long you stayed and your language and geographical position, as well as details of your browser capabilities and network properties. This uses a piece of JavaScript code on every page of this site which collects anonymous data and sends it Google. It also adds a cookie on your computer or device (e.g. your phone) which uniquely identifies your browser. This is a small file of data used to store anonymous information such as whether you have been to our site before, the date and time of your current visit and how you found our site e.g. search engine etc. Google use this data to provide us with a number of analytical reports. You can still use our site without providing this information to Google by blocking, or not enabling, Javascript and by deleting or blocking cookies.
These statistics do not contain personal data. However, under some (but not all) circumstances it may be possible to infer from the name or network address of the computer making the request the identity of the person making the request.
This data may on occasion be passed to the administrators of other computer systems to enable investigation of problems accessing this site or of system misconfigurations.
Otherwise the logged information is not passed to any third party except if required by law.
This information may be kept indefinitely.
Restricted Facilities
If you are authorised to use our “Document Centre” and our “Administration Area” we will provide you with a user name and password which will uniquely identify you.
To manage your secure access we use PHP session variables (PHPSESSID) i.e. 'Server side cookies' which store data on our server, not your computer. This does leave a reference on your computer that a session variable has been created. Session variables are removed when you close your browser or log out of the web site.
Photographs
Careful consideration is always given to the use of photographs on our web site which are used in accordance with the following guidelines:
- Portrait photos will only be used with verbal consent
- Portraits of children will not be used without parent's or guardian's consent
- Only members of staff will be identified by their full name
In group photographs it is impractical to obtain individual consent.
We will remove a photograph from our web site as soon as practical upon request from a person, or the parent or guardian of a child, in the photograph.
Access to and removal of data
It is your right to request details of the information we hold about you.
We want to make sure the information we hold about you is correct. If you spot any errors, if your contact details change, or if you do not wish to receive information from us, let us know by contacting the website team manager via , or our church office.
