Privacy Statement Youth With A Mission NL
Why this Privacy Statement?
Youth With A Mission the Netherlands (YWAM NL) processes personal data. We do this according to the European legislation for data protection. Starting May 25th 2018 this is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Privacy Statement is meant to inform you about how we use your personal information and what are your rights.
To whom does this Privacy Statement apply?
This Privacy Statement applies to participants of our (training) activities, donors, people who receive our newsletters and visitors to our websites.
What is our legal ground for processing personal data?
YWAM NL processes personal data and is therefore a ‘verwerkingsverantwoordelijke’. Our legal ground consists of asking permission to involved persons for specific processing of personal data. Besides, a part of our data processing is necessary for the general interest of the involved person and/or because of legal requirements towards YWAM NL. For these activities no specific permission is asked. We process also special/sensitive types of personal data. The legal ground for this is that we are a religious charity organisation.
What personal data do we collect and how do we use this information?
(Potential) participants of our (training) activities We collect direct personal data like name, address, email address and phone number. This is necessary for communication purposes, the financial administration and for your stay at our properties. We also save this information in our CRM system (how we use CRM is explained later). Every participant is also asked to sign our Child Protection Policy.
Depending on the type and length of a training activity, we also collect indirect and special personal information like a personal picture, a testimony, information about allergies and other medical information as far as is seen important to share by the applicant. This information we use to be able to do a good review of the application and is also important for your stay at our properties and for joining our activities. Our starting point is that we don’t want to ask more information than necessary for the application and always with explicit permission of the applicant. This information is only used related to the training where the applicant applies for. If you successfully finish a UofN (University of the Nations) accredited course, then this will be registered at the UofN.
Donors
YWAM NL receives donations for general purposes and for specific projects in the
Netherlands and abroad. With every donation we receive a name and a bank account number.
This information is linked and saved in our financial administration. This in order to inform the missionary who is in charge of the project, about which donations are received and from whom. We also connect donations for general purposes and specific projects with the identity of the donor. We add this information to our CRM system (how we use CRM is explained later).
Subscribers of our newsletters
In order to be able to send newsletters we save contact information of our subscribers (name, address, email) in our CRM system. We send newsletters by mail and by e-mail. For our e-mail newsletters we make use of a program that gives insight in the way e-mails are opened and if people click on links in the email. This helps YWAM to optimize the information we send.
