Biblical Nations complies with applicable laws when processing personal information and other data. That is why we have prepared this privacy statement . Because we take your privacy very seriously, we handle your personal information with care.

We handle the information we store and use about you with care and in accordance with applicable laws. In this privacy statement, we explain how and for what purpose we collect and process personal data. We also explain how we protect your privacy.

Scope of the Privacy Policy

This privacy statement applies to the processing of data:

• personal information provided by sponsors, donors, ambassadors, and business associates; and
• data obtained as a result of visits to and use of our websites; and
• participation in events organized by Biblical Nations or other fundraising activities.
• in collaboration with Biblical Nations.

Personal Data We Process

Biblical Nations collects your personal data because you are involved in, or wish to become involved in, the work of our foundation in any way. This may be because you support our foundation financially, but it could also be, for example, because you wish to receive our newsletter, volunteer with us, or attend an event we organize. We process the following personal data: first and last name, address, phone number, email address, gender, date of birth, IBAN, and other personal data that you actively provide, for example, by filling out a job application form or a form for recurring donations.

Special and/or sensitive personal data that we process

Through our websites and products/services, we do not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have parental or guardian consent. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is over 16. We therefore encourage parents to be involved in their children’s online activities to help prevent the collection of information about children without parental consent. If you believe we have collected personal information about a minor without such consent, please contact us.

In some cases, we process special categories of personal data, namely:

• Church affiliation and religious beliefs when completing the job application form; the basis for this is a legitimate interest stemming from the foundation’s Christian identity.
• Citizen Service Number (BSN) – If you choose to support Biblical Nations with a recurring donation through a donation agreement, we are required to register your BSN. This is a requirement of the Tax Authority.

For what purpose and on what basis do we process personal data?

Biblical Nations processes your personal data for the following purposes:

• Sending Our Newsletter
• Collecting and Recording Donations
• Processing Job Applications
• Learn about our work
• Customer Relationship Management
• Fundraising

We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• User Consent
• Performance of a Contract
• Legitimate interests;

The work of Biblical Nations is made possible by donations (from individuals, church congregations, and businesses, among others), contributions from foundations, revenue from events, and the dedication of many volunteers. Through newsletters, events, initiatives, and campaigns, we aim to inspire as many people as possible to contribute their talents, networks, time, and financial support to our mission. This is essential for our organization’s continued existence. For this reason, it is very important to us that we can reach out to our contacts in a targeted manner by mail, email, or phone. We therefore use the personal data we have collected for relationship management and fundraising purposes.

How Long We Retain Personal Data

Biblical Nations does not retain your personal data any longer than is necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data is collected.

Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

Your data will be used exclusively by us or on our behalf. We may engage third parties to perform services for Biblical Nations. These parties may use the personal data we provide only to perform the agreed-upon services for Biblical Nations.

This is always done under a data processing agreement to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality for your data.

Email

If you have provided us with an email address, you will receive a regular newsletter via email to keep you informed about our work and activities. Biblical Nations uses an external program to manage subscriptions and send out newsletters. This external provider processes your data using standard techniques that help us monitor and optimize our newsletters. At the bottom of each newsletter, you’ll find a link that allows you to unsubscribe.

Website / Cookies, or similar technologies, that we use

Biblical Nations uses technical and functional cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of the website and your user experience. They ensure that the website functions properly and, for example, remember your preferences. We collect anonymous visitor data on our websites for the purpose of further developing and optimizing the websites’ design. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you first visit this website. You can opt out of cookies by configuring your web browser so that it no longer stores cookies. You can also delete any information that was previously stored through your browser settings.

Google Analytics

We analyze the use of our websites using Google Analytics. We have chosen to configure Google Analytics to be as privacy-friendly as possible. This means that we do not use the advertising functionality (Google Signals) and do not collect data about the age, gender, or interests of our website users. IP addresses are also anonymized. To enable these analyses, Google Analytics uses cookies—small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit our website. Because we use Google Analytics in this privacy-friendly manner, we are always permitted to place these analytical cookies.

You can prevent your information from being processed by Google via cookies by downloading and installing the browser add-on provided for this purpose. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript code (analytics.js and gtag.js) that runs on websites from sharing information about visitor activity with Google Analytics.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. In addition, you have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing or to object to processing by Biblical Nations. You also have the right to data portability. You can submit a request to this effect by email. We will respond to your request as soon as possible, but in any case within four weeks.

Security

Biblical Nations has implemented technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss or any form of unlawful processing. In this way, we ensure that personal data is accessible only to employees and volunteers who are authorized to access it as part of their duties, and that we use personal data only for the purposes for which it was collected.
