Every Nation Church (Singapore) (“ENCS”) recognises the importance of safeguarding personal data when dealing with information relating to its members, worshippers at its services, attendees of its activities and programs, users of its online services and applications, visitors and staff, and therefore is committed to fully implementing and complying with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act (the “Act”). [ENCS] Personal Data Protection Policy set out here explains the procedures and systems in place to comply with the Act (the “Policy”), in respect of personal data as defined under the Act.
ENCS receives or collects the personal data of its members, worshippers at its services, attendees of its activities and programs, users of its online services and applications, visitors and staff for purposes reasonably required by it as a place of worship with its attendant activities and programs.
These purposes include the following, whether within or outside Singapore:-
ENCS will not use the personal data for any purpose other than that for which it was collected. Should ENCS require any personal data in its possession to be used for a purpose other than those for which consent was originally given, fresh consent will be sought in order to use the data for that new purpose.
In the course of processing personal data for the above purposes, ENCS may disclose such personal data to third parties within or outside Singapore. These third parties include:-
Disclosure to third parties outside Singapore shall only be to organisations that are required or undertake to process the data with a comparable level of data protection as that required under Singapore law.
ENCS shall not collect, use or disclose personal data of persons below the age of thirteen (13) for any purpose unless written parental or guardian consent has been given for such purpose.
Should you wish to withdraw or limit your consent to ENCS collection, use and disclosure of your personal data, please write in with full particulars to our Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) using the contact details provided in the section on “Enquiries” below.
Any personal data collected by ENCS shall be accessible by employee(s) of ENCS to serve the purpose for which the data was collected. Such employee(s) shall observe strict confidentiality at all times.
In the event personal data is disclosed to third parties, such third parties will be required to sign an agreement requiring them to observe confidentiality at all times and to use the personal data only for the purpose for which it was disclosed to them.
ENCS has designated a DPO to deal with day-to-day data protection matters and complaints, encourage good data handling practices and ensure that ENCS complies with the Act and implements the Policy. If you have any questions, complaints or concerns, please contact the DPO using the contact details provided in paragraph 20 below.
ENCS endeavours to take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data in its possession or under its control is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. If there is any error or omission in the personal data you have provided to ENCS, please write in to our DPO with the necessary details for correction of your data. If any personal data you have provided to ENCS becomes inaccurate, please contact our DPO to update your data.
Should you wish to access any personal data collected by ENCS or understand how such data has been used or disclosed, please write in to our DPO with your request. The DPO will provide you with the requested information within a reasonable time, after verification of your identity. Kindly note that ENCS reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for responding to any such requests.
ENCS will retain personal data for as long as it is necessary to serve the purpose for which it has been collected. Once the data in ENCS possession is no longer necessary to serve the purpose for which it was collected, the data will be destroyed or anonymised in a secure manner.
ENCS endeavours to maintain all personal data in its possession or under its control securely. To this effect, ENCS has put in place measures to ensure the protection of data in its possession against unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or other risks.
ENCS shall not transfer any personal data in its possession to any parties outside Singapore except as specified in this Policy. Any outside party to which ENCS intends to transfer data in its possession must have protections equivalent to those provided for in the Act.
If an individual feels that his data has been erroneously or improperly handled by ENCS, he may lodge a complaint in writing by post with the DPO. Once a complaint has been received, the DPO will acknowledge receipt of the same in writing by post, and will contact the relevant departments to investigate the complaint.
The outcome of the investigation will be communicated by the DPO to the complainant in writing by post, notifying him of the outcome.
This Policy may be updated from time to time to take account of changes in policy, technology, and/or to ensure compliance with any legislative changes.
ENCS is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of its members, worshippers at its services, attendees of its programs, visitors and staff. For enquiries about ENCS Policy, please write to the DPO at the following address:-
