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”).

Who are we? 

The PCC is the overarching body responsible for governance in the Binsey Team area and, together with the Team Rector, is the Data Controller for your data. The PCC has temporarily appointed the PCC Secretary to be its Data Compliance Officer as the Team Administrator post is currently vacant.  There is a clearly defined policy agreed by the PCC, in place to define how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

How do we process your personal data?

The PCC 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 enable us to provide a voluntary service for the benefit of the public in a particular geographical area as specified in our constitution;

  • To administer membership records;

  • To fundraise and promote the interests of the Binsey Team Ministry;

  • To manage our employees and volunteers;

  • To maintain our own accounts and records (including the processing of gift aid applications);

  • To inform you of news, events, activities and services in the Binsey Team Mission Community;

  • To share your contact details with the Diocese of Carlisle so they can keep you informed about news in the diocese and events, activities and services in the diocese, in which you may be interested and need to pass on as an officer of the DCC or PCC.

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 diocesan events;

  • Processing is necessary for carrying out obligations under employment, social security or social protection law, or a collective agreement;

  • We may also process data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, an example of this would be processing your data in connection with a notice or advertisement in the Binsey Link;

  • Processing is carried out by a not-for-profit body with a religious 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.

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 parish e.g. Diocese with your consent.

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: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/libraries-and-archives/records-management-guidesand also available from the Churchwardens of the Parish Churches.

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.
