Data Privacy Notice


 

With effect from 25 May 2018, the processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

 

1. Your personal data – what is it?

Personal data relates to any living person who can be identified from that data.  Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into its possession.

 

2. Who are we?

The Parochial Church Council of Wargrave with Knowl Hill (the PCC) is the “data controller” (contact details below).  This means it decides how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

 

3. How do we process your personal data?

The PCC complies with its obligations under GDPR by:

·         keeping personal data up to date;

·         storing and destroying it securely;

·         by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data;

·         protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure by ensuring that appropriate technical and procedural measures are in place.

·         maintain our own accounts and records (including the administration of Gift Aid);

·         inform you of news, events, activities and services running at our parish churches;

·         share your contact details with the Diocesan office so they can keep you informed about news and events, activities and services occurring in the Diocese of Oxford and in which you may be interested.

 

5. What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

·         Your explicit electronic or written consent is required so that we can keep you informed about news, events, activities and services in the parish as well as Diocesan events.

6. Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared with other members of the Church to carry out a service to other church members or for purposes connected with the church’s activities. We will only share your data with third parties outside the parish with your consent.

7. How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep data in accordance with the guidance set out in the guide “Keep or Bin: Care of Your Parish Records” which is available from the Church of England website (see below).

Specifically, we retain Electoral Roll data while it is still current; gift aid declarations and associated paperwork for up to six years after the calendar year to which they relate; and parish registers (baptisms, marriages, funerals) permanently.

8. Further processing

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Data Protection Notice, then we will provide you with a new notice explaining this new use prior to commencing the processing and setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions.
