Ameliorate Missions is a Kenya-based mission organisation and is designing its systems around the Data Protection Act, 2019 and the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) framework.
We may process identity and contact details, missionary applications, references, donor records, payment information, staff and volunteer records, prayer requests, safeguarding information, documents, portal activity and communication preferences.
Mission work can involve religious belief, family information, health or safeguarding information and other sensitive personal data. Such data receives stricter purpose limitation, role-based access and confidentiality controls.
Data is processed for recruitment, mission sending, donor and partner administration, safeguarding, financial accountability, communications, legal compliance and legitimate organisational operations. Consent is used where it is the appropriate basis and may be withdrawn where the law permits.
Access is role-based and protected by authentication controls, including email verification and two-factor authentication for portal accounts. Confidential documents are stored outside public web directories where practical.
Records should be retained only for as long as mission, safeguarding, contractual, tax, audit or legal purposes require, then securely deleted or anonymised according to an approved retention schedule.
Data subjects may request access, correction or other rights available under Kenyan law. Privacy concerns can be raised with Ameliorate Missions and, where appropriate, with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
Whether you are discerning a call, supporting a missionary, praying or exploring partnership, there is a clear next step.
