• Consent: Where you have given us clear consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., sharing your testimony).
• Legitimate Interest: Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

5. Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We may have to share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in section 4:

6. International Transfers

Some of our external third parties (like Google, YouTube, and Render) are based outside the UK, so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

• • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
• • We may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed.

8. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use, the purposes for which we process it, and any applicable legal requirements.

• Testimonies: Testimony data you share with us will be retained for up to 7 years to support our ministry, or until you withdraw your consent.
