The Newcastle Diocesan Board of Finance is committed to protecting your personal data that we hold. We want you to know that you can trust us to respect your privacy and keep your personal information safe. On 25th May 2018 new legislation came into force called the General Data Protection Regulation, which is usually referred to as GDPR. This new legislation provides you with additional safeguards for how your personal data is used and stored. It allows you to have more control over what happens to your information, for example, if you no longer wish to receive our newsletter we will stop sending this when you ask us to cease. We have developed a number of privacy notices which are included on this page. These give you an overview of the information we collect; how we use it; who we share it with; and how we protect your data. In the interests of transparency we have also included our Data Protection Policy.
