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 2016/679(the “GDPR”).

2. Who are we?

The Church of England United Benefice of Kirkdale with Harome, Nunnington and Pockley 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 Benefice 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. The data we hold is only available to the appropriate office holders and is held securely either physically in locked storage or electronically under password protection.

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• To provide pastoral care to parishioners
• To administer membership records, including the Electoral Roll
• To process Gift Aid applications
• To share your contact details with the Diocesan Office so they can keep you informed about news events, activities and services that will be occurring in the Diocese and which are relevant to the role you are undertaking.
• To manage our volunteers

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

• Processing is necessary for carrying out legal obligations in relation to Gift Aid and Safeguarding; there is no disclosure, other than required by law, to a third party without your express consent.

5. Sharing your personal data
Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential, and will be shared only with the Church of England and Diocese of York. We will only share your data with third parties outside of the Benefice with your consent.

Specifically, we retain Electoral Roll data while it is still current; Gift Aid Declarations and  associated paperwork for up to 6 years after the calendar year to which they relate; and Parish Registers (baptisms, marriages, funerals) permanently. We will only hold office holder’s information whilst they are in office.
