Why we need your data
We need to know your basic personal data in order to provide you with on-going information about the church.

If you feel that the information we process on you is incorrect you can request to see this information and have it corrected or deleted. If you wish to raise a complaint on how we have handled your personal data, you can contact us to have the matter investigated by calling or emailing office@aberdeencf.com.
