• To manage our employees and volunteers;
• To maintain our own accounts and records (including the processing of gift aid
applications);
• To inform you of news, events, activities and services running at the Good Shepherd;

regular contact with it in connection with those purposes); and

5. Sharing your personal data
Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared with other
members of the church in order to carry out a service to other church members or for
