​

We take your privacy seriously and are committed to ensuring it is protected. This privacy policy sets out how we use and protect any information you provide to us when inquiring about the Sheffield Spiritist Group.

All information collected by us when you inquire about or participate in the group will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. We will never share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

​

2. What type of information we collect and what it is used for

​

✓Name: Your name may appear on Zoom or in the WhatsApp group.
✓Phone number: If you choose to join the WhatsApp account
✓Email address: If you choose to be a facilitator or committee member

​

When you inquire about the group via email, website, phone, or Facebook and Instagram, we ask that you leave your name and a contact phone number or email address.

​

If you decide to join the group, you will be asked to log in to the Zoom room, where your name will appear on the screen. We can also, if you request, add you to our WhatsApp group so that you receive messages about the Zoom link to use for the weekly meeting. In the WhatsApp group, we also occasionally:

- share information or videos related to the topics discussed in the meetings
- share details of other Spiritist lectures or events taking place internationally
- in accordance with Spiritist principles of charity, we may occasionally share information about charities in which our group members are involved or as part of our annual fundraising.

​

Other members of the WhatsApp group may see your name and WhatsApp number in this group, just as you may see their name and number. The Sheffield Spiritist Group is not responsible for this, as it is a standard WhatsApp feature.

​

When you contact us about the group by email, phone, website, or Facebook and we respond using the same contact method, we cannot guarantee that your means of contacting us or our means of contacting you are 100% secure. It is important for you to understand that no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

​
