Privacy notice
What we collect when you give, why we need it, and how long we keep it.
Who we are
Calvary Hephzibah Full Gospel Church is the working name of Global Harvest International, a charity registered in England and Wales, number 1135709. Our registered address is 4 Radlett Walk, Manchester M13 9EE. We are the data controller for the information described here.
What we collect
When you give through our website, we collect:
- Your name and email address, entered on the secure payment page.
- The gift itself — the amount, whether it is one-off or monthly, and which fund you chose.
- Your home address and postcode, but only if you tick the Gift Aid box. HMRC requires a full home address for a Gift Aid claim to be valid.
We never see your card details. Card numbers are entered directly on Stripe's payment page and are handled by Stripe alone. They do not pass through our website and we cannot access them.
Why we need it
- To take the gift and send you a receipt. Without a name and email we cannot process the payment or confirm it back to you.
- To claim Gift Aid, where you have told us we can. This is a legal obligation once a claim is made — HMRC requires us to hold a valid declaration and supporting records.
- To keep proper accounts. As a registered charity we are required to keep accurate financial records.
Our lawful bases are our legitimate interests in running the charity and acknowledging gifts, and our legal obligations to HMRC and the Charity Commission.
Who else sees it
- Stripe processes the payment and issues your receipt.
- Supabase hosts the database where the record of your gift is stored.
- HMRC receives the details needed to support a Gift Aid claim, and only where you have made a declaration.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone else for marketing.
How long we keep it
Gift Aid declarations and the records supporting them are kept for six years after the end of the tax year they relate to, as HMRC requires. Financial records are kept for six years. After that, records are deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Where a record is one we are legally required to keep — a Gift Aid claim, for example — we may not be able to delete it until that period has passed, and we will tell you if that is the case.
You can also cancel a Gift Aid declaration or a monthly gift at any time. Just get in touch and we will stop it.
