OVERVIEW
The Diocese of Derry recognises that the greatest of care must be taken when processing personal data about our parishioners and we understand that this is not a purely administrative task. The records we hold can have profound pastoral significance. Personal information is directly relatable to the dignity of human life, and the respect that every individual deserves must extend to information we hold about that individual.
The law provides 6 legal bases for processing data:
1) Consent of the Individual
2) Contractual Necessity
3) Compliance with Legal Obligations
4) Vital Interests of the Data Subject
5) Performance of a Task in the Public Interest
6) Legitimate Interests
Further conditions apply when processing ‘Special Category’ personal data, which includes data revealing religious or philosophical beliefs.
In the majority of instances, the information which we collect and store is of a basic, biographical nature such as contact details - name, address and telephone number but the work of the Church is wide-ranging and there are instances when additional information is necessary.
This notice sets out how we collect personal information about you, how we use, store and share it and how you can interact with us about it.
