Privacy Policy

Privacy & Data Stewardship

At St Andrew’s Parish Church, Biggleswade, we treat the privacy of our parishioners, visitors, and digital archive users with the same reverence we accord our physical ironstone fabric. This policy outlines our commitment to “Data Stewardship”—ensuring that the information entrusted to us is managed with technical integrity and absolute transparency.

Information We Secure

As part of our 8-week digital modernization sprint, we collect only the data necessary to provide our ecclesial and archival services. This may include:

  • Communication Data: Name and email addresses provided via our contact and archival inquiry forms.
  • Technical Logs: Anonymous analytical data (IP addresses and browser types) used to optimize our “Digital Blueprint” site performance.
  • Cookie Protocols: Small data files used to enhance your experience within our monumental long-form content.

A Commitment to Integrity

Just as elite property management at sites like Villa Kinaree Estate requires rigorous privacy standards for their guests, St Andrew’s applies a professional-grade standard to our digital governance. Your data is never sold, traded, or utilized for purposes outside our stated mission of community service and heritage preservation.

Usage and Protection

Data collected during our current work sprint is utilized primarily for:

  • Responding to inquiries regarding the 13th-century Parish Archive.
  • Providing updates on the Master Plan and structural restoration projects.
  • Ensuring the security and structural integrity of our digital presence.

Your Rights of Access

Under current data protection regulations, you retain the right to request access to any personal information we hold, or to request its immediate “de-archiving” (deletion). For all matters concerning data stewardship, please contact our administrative team at the Biggleswade parish office.
