Via our website www.pinkstergemeente-amsterdam.nl information about church activities is shared. Pinkstergemeente Amsterdam honours the protection of people’s privacy and therefore we have set up a policy about posting personal information and photographs on the website. When dealing with personal information we take extra care and personal information is not kept longer than needed.

Purpose processing
As a local church we value personal involvement and meeting around the Word of God. For this reason personal information is shared and interchanged. Personal information is used for admin purposes, organising gatherings etc.  

Privacy
Personal information of church members are only published on our website when needed in a function or specific purpose. Careful consideration about how much information is shared is practiced. When possible only email addresses with the domain name pinkstergemeente-amsterdam.nl are used.

Photograph’s of church activities are, when possible, placed in a secure environment. When photograph’s are placed in a non-secured environment, church members will be notified beforehand, who can then respond if they do not wish to have the photographs published. All photograph’s will be screened in advance. With the publication of photograph’s we keep track of composition and how people are featured in the photograph. Of course there is aways room to object about a published photograph. Published photograph’s will never contain names of the people in the photograph.  

Objection
Whenever you have an objection about a published photograph that pictures you, you can send an email with the reason of your objection to: secretariaat@pinkstergemeente-amsterdam.nl
If your reason is valid the photograph will be removed from the website as asap.
