Privacy Policy for PCG

Privacy policy and consent to publicly process personal information in terms of the Protection of Personal Information Act, Act 4 of 2013 (Popia) for PCG Church Pretoria (herein referred to as PCG) and its Associates {herein after collectively referred to as PCG & Ass.}

introduction

Popia requires that a data subject's personal information be processed, recorded, and filed lawfully. In accordance with the supreme authority of the Bible and its instruction to obey the Government, PCG is committed to biblically attending to Popia's compliance.

Save for Popia regulations to the contrary, PCG & Ass. are obliged to process personal information without consent under the following instances: 

• where such processing is required in terms of law, i.e. the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, Skills Development Act 9 of 1999, Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998, Unemployment Insurance Contributions Act 2 of 2002, Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002, Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001, National Credit Act 34 of 2005 and Compensation of Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act 130 of 1993; and/or
• where it is necessary for PCG & Ass. to biblically give effect to the nature of the relationship between PCG and its Associates, which, apart from administrative processing, includes biblical public announcements, shepherding of the heart, fellowship with one another, sharing prayer requests, church discipline, evangelism, counselling matters and arranging church events and activities in general. Associates endorse the fact that carte blanche sharing and processing of personal information within the body of Christ is necessary due to the nature of the church, the sanctification processes as the body of Christ, and/or
• where the processing of personal information is necessary to protect the interests of either PCG or its Associates. 

Associates include all individuals who willingly associate with PCG as members or as non-members as they participate in the current or future activities of PCG & Ass. and use the material of PCG & Ass. 

By association with PCG & Ass., Associates confirm all biblical activities and biblical material of PCG & Ass. as well as the administrative processes to give effect to the activities and material, non-offensive and biblically necessary to grow into the image of the Lord Jesus. 

The nature of all relationships with PCG & Ass. as the body of Christ is public domain in the broadest possible sense, which necessitates the discretionary public sharing and processing of personal information.
