COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION ACT, ACT 4 OF 2013 AS AMENDED (PoPI ACT)
This Privacy Policy Statement is subject to the PoPI Act and requires the implementation of the Eight Conditions for the Lawful Protection of Personal Information in terms of the Act.
COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will ask you when we need Information that personally identifies you (Personal Information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this Information is requested when you decide to officially associate yourself with HBK.
Personal Information collected by the Responsible Party often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other Information for the purpose of shepherding.
For example: the nature of the relationship between HBK and those providing information to HBK, includes, but is not limited to, administrative processing, arranging group attendance, biblical public announcements, shepherding of the heart, fellowship with one another, sharing prayer requests, sharing event information, church discipline, evangelism, counselling matters and arranging church events and activities in general.
With this consent and instruction, you endorse the fact that sharing and processing of personal information within the body of Christ is necessary, due to the public nature and function of the church and the protection of Church and Church member interests.
By sharing information here and in future, you consent to the use of your personal information for HBK Church activities.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use your Personal Information for the following purposes:
- to ensure our website is relevant to your interests.
- to inform you of newsletters, events and training.

We will merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic Information for research purposes, and we may use this Information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of the Responsible Party, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your Personal Information in order to provide you with personalised content. If you decline permission, we will not provide you the personalised service and won’t merge your Personal Information with site-visitation data.
We occasionally hire service providers to provide limited services on our behalf. We will only provide those service providers with the Information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that Information for any other purpose.
HBK may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the Responsible Party or the website;
- protect and defend the rights or property of the Responsible Party and its website; or
- act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of the Responsible Party’s employees, users of our products or services or members of the public.
- and any other purpose stated in this policy.
Save for PoPI Act regulations to the contrary, HBK is obliged to process personal information without consent under the following instances:
- where such processing is required in terms of law, i.e. the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, Skills Development Act 9 of 1999, Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998, Unemployment Insurance Contributions Act 2 of 2002, Financial Advisory an Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002, Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001, National Credit Act 34 of 2005 and Compensation of Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act 130 of 1993; and/or

Associates endorse the fact that carte blanchesharing and processing of personal information within the body of Christ is necessary, due to the nature of the church, the sanctification processes as the body of Christ; and/or
- where the processing of personal information is necessary to protect the interests of either HBK or its Associates / Members.
Associates include all individuals who willingly associate with HBK as members or as non-members as they participate in the current or future activities of HBK & Ass. and use the material of HBK & Ass.
By association with HBK & Ass., Associates confirm all biblical activities and biblical material of HBK & Ass. as well as the administrative processes to give effect to the activities and material, non-offensive and biblically necessary to grow into the image of the Lord Jesus.
The nature of all relationships with HBK & Ass. as the body of Christ, is public domain in the broadest possible sense, which necessitates the discretionary public sharing and processing of personal information.
