Privacy Policy
God is Giving (GiG) aims to address poverty and its causes in the UK. We do this by providing free services to members of the public, including money management courses and no interest loans. This privacy policy explains how we use the personal information that we collect about you.
What type of information do we collect about you?
We collect information about you when you enquire about using any one of our services that we offer or as we provide you with our service(s), or at any time that you register an interest in supporting us as a charity.
How will we use the information about you?
Our clients
If you are enquiring in order to use one of our services, the information that we collect from you will be used to contact you in order to provide you with details of our services and to arrange a convenient appointment at your home. We will then use your information to provide you with any of the services that we have agreed with you.
As a faith-based charity, we may offer you our support through prayer, so we will record whether you are happy for us to do this so we make sure that we respect your wishes.
When assessing your financial position we will use your financial information to advise you about how to manage your finances and use that information to determine whether or not you would benefit from a no interest loan.
We will use your information to remain in contact with you in order to supply ongoing support and to be able to assess your progress.
If we think it suitable for you, we may also on occasions, contact you with information about other free services that GiG is offering.
