The Parish of St Peter & St Paul, Nadur respects the privacy of everyone who visits this website. This policy explains what personal information we collect through nadurparish.com, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it.

What we collect
Information you give us
You can browse this website without telling us anything about yourself. We only receive personal information when you choose to send it through one of our two forms:
Contact form — your name, your email address, your telephone number (optional), the subject you select and the message you write.
Booking for Baptism form — the child's full name and date of birth, the parent or guardian's name, telephone number and email address, the preferred church and date, and any notes you add (for example about godparents or special requests).
When you submit either form, the details are emailed to the parish office and are also stored securely on this website so that the office can refer back to them.
Information collected automatically
Server logs — like most websites, our hosting provider records your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the date and time, so that the site can be kept secure and problems can be diagnosed.
Analytics — we use Google Analytics to see which pages are read and how visitors find the site, so that we can improve it. This is described in more detail below.
Why we use it, and our legal basis
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we must have a lawful basis for using your information. Ours are:
To answer your enquiry or arrange a baptism. Our basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact the parish, and in taking the steps you have asked us to take in preparation for a sacrament.
To keep the website secure and working. Our basis is our legitimate interest in protecting the site from abuse and spam.
To understand how the website is used. Our basis is your consent to analytics cookies, which you can withdraw at any time.
A note about children's information
The Booking for Baptism form asks for a child's name and date of birth. This is provided by a parent or guardian, and we use it only to arrange the baptism and to prepare the parish's record of it. We never use a child's information for analytics, for any form of marketing, or for publication on this website.
Cookies and analytics
A cookie is a small file that a website stores on your device. We use Google Analytics, which sets cookies to tell one visitor from another and to measure how pages are used. These cookies do not tell us your name, and we do not use them for advertising or share the data with advertisers.
The forms on this site are also protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which distinguishes real visitors from automated spam. It does not track you across other websites and is not used for advertising.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The website works fully without cookies — nothing on it is withheld if you refuse them.
Third parties and embedded content
We rely on a small number of outside services to run this website. Each of them may receive some information (such as your IP address) when a page loads:
Google Analytics — website usage statistics.
Cloudflare Turnstile — spam protection on our forms.
Google Fonts — the typefaces used across the site are loaded from Google’s servers.
Google Maps — the map on our Contact page is embedded from Google.
YouTube — videos and live streams are embedded from YouTube, which may set its own cookies once you play one.
Our hosting and email providers, who store the website and deliver the messages you send us. They act on our instructions only.
This website also links out to our pages on Facebook and YouTube. Once you follow such a link you are on someone else’s website, and their own privacy policy applies rather than ours.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. What you send through our forms is seen only by the parish office and the clergy who need it in order to help you. Beyond the service providers listed above, we disclose personal information only where the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Contact form messages — retained as part of the parish’s ongoing record of its correspondence, and not deleted on a fixed schedule. You can ask us to delete your message at any time, as set out under ‘Your rights’ below, and we will do so unless we are required to keep it.
Baptism enquiries — retained as part of the parish’s sacramental and pastoral record, and not deleted on a fixed schedule. Records of baptisms are kept permanently by the parish under canon law.
Server logs — kept for a short period, typically a few weeks.
Analytics data — retained by Google Analytics for up to 14 months.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
ask us to correct anything that is wrong or incomplete;
ask us to delete it, or to restrict what we do with it;
object to our using it on the basis of our legitimate interests;
receive it in a portable form; and
withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, write to us at [email protected] or at the parish office address above. We will reply within one month.
If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC), which is the supervisory authority for data protection in Malta.
Security
This website is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), our forms are protected against automated abuse, and access to form submissions is limited to authorised parish staff. No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you send us.
