DATA PROTECTION NOTICE

 

1. Your personal data – what is it?

Personal data 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 (the “GDPR”).

 

2. Who are we?

Immanuel Church Dublin 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?

Immanuel Church Dublin complies with its obligations under the “GDPR” by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

We use your personal data for the following purposes: –

  • To administer membership records;
  • To fundraise and promote the interests of the church;
  • To manage our volunteers;
  • To maintain our own accounts and records (including the processing of gift aid applications);
  • To inform you of news, events, activities and services running at Immanuel Church Dublin and other events that are in line with our objectives.

 

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

 

  • Explicit consent of the data subject so that we can keep you informed about news, events, activities and services and process your gift aid donations and keep you informed about events run by ourselves and other groups that align with our objectives.
  • Processing is necessary for carrying out obligations under employment, social security or social protection law, or a collective agreement
  • Processing is carried out by a not-for-profit body with a political, philosophical, religious or trade union aim provided:
    • 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

 

5. Sharing your personal data

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

 

6. How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep data in accordance with the guidance set out within Irish Data Protection Legislation, details of which can be found here and in the guide “Keep or Bin: Care of Your Parish Records” which is available from the Church of England website here.

Specifically, we retain name and contact details as supplied by you; if applicable, gift aid declarations and associated paperwork. We maintain these records for up to 6 years after the last calendar year to which they have been in operation; and church registers (baptisms, marriages, funerals) permanently.

Depending on the nature of a pastoral visit a brief account may be recorded by the church staff/apprentice involved. This is primarily to ensure the highest quality of pastoral care can be given by specific members of staff and your confidentiality will be of the upmost importance at all times.

  • The right, where there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data, to request a restriction is placed on further processing
  • The right to object to the processing of personal data, (where applicable) [Only applies where processing is based on legitimate interests (or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority); direct marketing and processing for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics]
