OUR DEFINITIONS:

  • Personal data

Personal data is information that relates to a living individual 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 such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by The General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”).

 

  • Data Controller

CIGB is a Data Controller: we decide what data to process and for what purposes. Data processing is the handling of any data: this includes storing, sharing, viewing, deleting, changing, manipulating that data.

 

  • Special Category Data

Data that relates to certain characteristics – like faith, race, political opinions, medical information – requires specific conditions for processing

 

WHAT DATA DO WE PROCESS, SHARE, HOW AND WHY?

 

  • We may process within ourselves the following data about you:
  • Your name and contact details (address, phone, email etc)
  • Your date of birth
  • Your church / faith affiliation
  • Your ethnic background
  • Your photograph and photographs, videos, recordings including you
  • Health issues that you declare to us
  • Your DBS status, and any results following a DBS check
  • Your next of kin
  • Minutes of meetings, phonecalls and email conversations involving you
  • Pastoral notes about your situation

 

  • We will keep personal data up to date; store and destroy it securely; protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure, and ensure that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data. We will not collect or retain excessive amounts of data.

 

  • We will carefully process personal data in order to:
  • enable us to provide a voluntary service for the benefit of our members and the general public as specified in our charitable constitution.
  • support people appropriately in their work, places of education and their homes
  • administer records, organise events, meetings and training
  • fundraise and promote the interests of the charity
  • manage our staff and volunteers
  • maintain financial records and provide insurance covers
  • inform individuals about news, events, activities and services
  • create and maintain anonymised numbers and stories of our work for learning, monitoring, promotion and fundraising that may be shared via a website and social media. Personal data will not be revealed outside of CIGB through this.

 

  • We will treat personal data as strictly confidential. We will only share personal data with other workplace chaplaincy organisations and churches, and normally with your consent. We will share data when there is a perceived need to prevent serious harm to yourself or others, with other agencies – eg police, health practitioners, social services etc.

 

  • We will retain data for no longer than necessary. In normal circumstances most data will be safely destroyed two years after last contact with a data subject. In the case of an employee or former volunteer, most data will destroyed seven years after last engagement with that individual. If there has been a safeguarding concern or enquiry about an individual, We may be required to keep relevant data for seventy-five years. Notes of committee meetings may be archived indefinitely for future reference.

 

  • We may process data in this way on the following legal grounds
  • By consent – when data subjects have completed a Consent Form.
  • In the case of employees acting on behalf of ourselves, processing of certain data is necessary for the performance of a contract
  • In order to responding to requests from relevant authorities (eg Police, Safeguarding, Insurance), processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
  • In responding to first enquiries to ourselves or in providing pastoral support for members of the public, processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our purposes (except where such interests are overridden by the interests, rights or freedoms of the data subject).
  • In order to process membership records processing may be carried out by ourselves (“as a not-for-profit body with a political, philosophical, religious or trade union aims”) provided that the processing relates only to members or former members (or those who have regular contact with it in connection with those purposes); and there is no disclosure to a third party without consent.
