Data Sharing
On occasion the Parish is approached by third parties seeking to contact people who they think are connected to either St Paul’s or St Matthew’s. In accordance with our Data Protection Policy, and in accordance with Data Protection Regulations, we do not respond to these queries. Doing so may infer that the subject of the query is known to a member of the church, which may itself constitute a sharing of personal information.
​
Those making enquiries will be directed here to explain the reason for the absence of further correspondence and so that no knowledge of any party is inferred. Thank you for your understanding.
