Privacy Statement ECM Netherlands Version 2 (last updated 19-06-2018) English Translation from 15.01.2025.
We would like to inform you about the processing of your personal data. The Gospel must be heard anew in Europe, and that is why ECM wants to help establish Christian communities in the Netherlands and throughout Europe, where people try to live in the footsteps of Jesus and thus spread the good news of the Gospel in word and deed.
In fulfilling its mission, ECM is connected with a dedicated missionary circle. To maintain the relationship of trust with our supporters, we want to be transparent about how we handle your personal data.
We are responsible for your personal data. Stichting ECM Nederland (ECM Netherlands Foundation - ECM NL) is responsible for the processing of your personal data and attaches great importance to the careful handling of your personal data. This means, among other things, that we treat your personal data confidentially, that we have taken security measures to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized access or theft, and that we delete data when we no longer need it for our work.
Times at which we receive your personal data. To enable the spread of the Gospel in Europe, we rely, among other things, on our donors and volunteers, and to be able to mobilize them, we must collect and process personal data. For example, if you make a donation to ECM NL, your name, address, and account number, among other things, will be processed. This data is needed for the registration and further processing of your donation.
Your personal data may also be processed when you use our services. For example, if you contact us via a form on our website, by email or phone, or if you subscribe to a newsletter from one of our missionaries. In this case, we process your phone number, email address, address, and name so that we can send you a confirmation of the proper receipt of your registration. This allows us to offer you targeted and relevant information. We try to take your personal interests into account as best as possible, and you are free to unsubscribe from one or more of our communications at any time.

We use your personal data because it is necessary for responding to comments/messages, processing donations, etc. We may also use your data to optimize our services so that we can better fulfill our mission. Sometimes we also store data because we are forced to do so due to (legal) financial and tax obligations.

We only do this if you have given us permission to use these contact details. If you do not wish this, you can let us know at any time by unsubscribing yourself from the distribution list.
If you, as an ECM supporter, have expressed a special interest in one or more of our missionary projects, we will forward your data to the staff directly involved in the project. They will then inform you about the progress of the project. These employees are volunteers who are committed to the project and ECM and are members of a Home Front Team (TFT). ECM has agreed with these TFTs that the relationship data shared with them may only be used to keep you informed and/or to involve you more closely in the progress of the project you are interested in. The TFTs have signed a data protection agreement and undertake to treat your data with utmost confidentiality.
