Data Privacy
We, Carnoustie Baptist Church SCIO (“CBC”), Registered Scottish Charity Number: SC052388 are committed to protecting all information that we handle about the people we connect with in any way. Our aim is to respect people’s rights around how their information is handled.
The legislation mentioned in this policy is the UK General Data Protection Regulation (‘UK GDPR’) which forms part of the Data Protection Act 2018 (‘DPA 2018’) and includes any subsequent amendment or re-enactment of that legislation.
This policy sets out the measures we are committed to taking as an organisation and what we will do to ensure that we comply with the relevant legislation.
In particular, we will make sure that all personal data is:
processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner;
processed for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed;
accurate and, where necessary, up to date;
not kept longer than necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed;
processed in a secure manner, by using appropriate technical and organisational means;
processed in keeping with the rights of data subjects regarding their personal data.
In the course of our work, we may collect and process information (‘personal data’) about many different people (‘data subjects’). This includes data we receive direct from the person it is about, e.g. when they complete forms or contact us. We may also receive information about data subjects from other sources including, e.g. from previous employers and churches.
We process personal data in both electronic and paper form and all this data is protected under data protection law. The personal data we process can include information such as names and contact details, education or employment details, references for and visual images of people.
In some instances, we hold types of personal data that are called “special category data’ under UK GDPR. This type of personal data can only be processed under strict conditions.
We will not hold information relating to criminal proceedings or offences or allegations of offences unless there is an overarching safeguarding requirement to process such data for the protection of children and adults who may be put at risk in our member churches. This processing will only ever be carried out on advice from our Safeguarding contact person or their deputy, in their absence.
We will only share personal data with other organisations or people when we have a legal basis to do so and if we have informed the data subject about the possibility of the data being shared in a privacy notice, unless legal exemptions apply to informing data subjects about the sharing. Only authorised and properly instructed staff are allowed to share personal data. We will not sell your data to third parties.
All data subjects have rights under data protection law. In particular, data subjects have the right at any time to request a copy of the personal information CBC holds about them by emailing or writing to CBC.
CBC seeks to ensure that the information it stores on its secure systems is kept accurate and up to date. Data subjects can ask CBC to correct or remove any of their personal data which they consider to be inaccurate, and CBC will immediately action such a request.
At any time data subjects can write to CBC indicating that they wish to withdraw their consent to CBC holding their personal information, and CBC will immediately action such a request.
