At The Western Fellowship, we believe privacy should be straightforward. We are not interested in building marketing profiles, selling personal data, or tracking visitors across the internet.

This website exists to share information, publish research and help connect people with an interest in history, culture, heritage, and community.

That said, like most websites, we do collect a limited amount of information necessary for the site to function.

We may share information only when required by law or when necessary to protect the security and integrity of the website.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us. However, no website or online service can guarantee absolute security, and users should be aware that information transmitted over the internet is never entirely risk-free.
