is it?

Personal data relates to a living

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?

St Chad's Church Wybunbury is the data controller (contact details below). This
means it decides how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

personal data?

St Chad's Church Wybunbury 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

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
running at St Chad's;
To share your contact details with the Diocesan office
so they can keep you informed about news in the diocese and events,
activities and services that will be occurring in the diocese and in which
you may be interested.

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

Explicit consent of the data subject so that we can

those purposes); and
there is no disclosure to a third party without consent.

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 with your consent.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep data for as long as it
is relevant to the good governance of the church and/or for legal
