What is the legal basis for processing your personal data? 

Our use of personal data is lawful where it is with your consent or is necessary for:

  • The performance of a contract that we have with you
  • Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject
  • The purposes of legitimate interests that we pursue, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms
  • The protection of your vital interests

Some special categories of personal data may only be processed lawfully where certain additional conditions are satisfied.  As a not-for-profit body with a religious aim we process such categories of data in the course of our legitimate activities and solely in relation to our members, former members or persons who have regular contact with us. We may also process certain special category data in exceptional circumstances in your vital interests – see Sharing Your Personal Data below.

Sharing your personal data 

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential, and will not be shared with any external third party except:

  • With your consent, or
  • For the purposes of processing any payments made by you, or
  • Where we are required to do so by law, or
  • In the exceptional circumstances described immediately below

If we are helping to provide care for you and we have important information about your health, we may disclose it if it is in your vital interests to do so in an emergency in which you are unable to give consent for yourself.

How long do we keep your personal data? 

We will retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose set out in this notice and in order to comply with legal requirements for the retention of certain data.

We retain indefinitely records of those who are or have been members of the Church.  Otherwise, unless we have specific consent, and subject to any legal requirements for the retention of data, we delete special category data (including data relating to health conditions) that we hold for any person who no longer has regular contact with us.

Debit or credit card details provided to us for the purposes of making a payment are deleted or destroyed as soon as the payment has been processed, unless a standing order has been set up.  In this instance, payment details are retained for the duration of the standing order.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data.

In addition to your legal right to request erasure you can ask us to delete information we hold about you (other than membership information) at any time.  We will review any such request and unless there is some legal reason for us to retain the information, we will delete it.
