Privacy Statement

At the Spiritual Abuse Collective, we recognise that anonymity will be very important for some of our forum participants. We have put this notice together in addition to our privacy policy, to make it clear how your data is used and stored.

When you register to participate in the Spiritual Abuse Collective, we will collect the following data from you:

• Username
• Email address

Your username can be a pseudonym; you do not need to use your real name or any other name which would make you identifiable. Your email address will not be visible to other users of the forum.

Your username and email address are stored securely on our servers, in line with our privacy policy.

Site administrators will have access to this data. They are required under GDPR to access it only as strictly necessary, and to protect the confidentiality of users.

We use a third-party web hosting company to manage our website. They have access to the site’s database, so to ensure confidentiality we have required them to sign an NDA agreement to further safeguard the confidentiality of forum participants.

The only times confidentiality will be breached is if it is felt that:

• you or someone else may be at risk of harm. This will be managed in line with our safeguarding policy. Wherever possible we will seek to speak to you about this matter first.
• a crime has been or is likely to be committed
• there are other legal obligations for us to report.

We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure the safety and confidentiality of forum participants. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not identifiable in what you post on the forum.
