PRIVACY POLICY

The Parish of St Benedict’s Ealing is fully compliant with EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and is committed to EU data protection requirements (applicable to us as a data processor). We recognise the need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (personal information) you share with us. Meaning, we don’t collect and process users’ personal information beyond what is legally required for the functioning of our services.

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address, an email address or other contact information; whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.

DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

GDPR compliance requires data subjects be granted certain rights. What follows is not an exhaustive list, but those rights that are relevant to the collection, processing, and storage of personal data on www.ealingabbeyparish.org.uk.

RIGHT TO ACCESS

Data subjects reserve the right to request and obtain confirmation that data is or is not being collected on them and if so, exactly what data is being collected, how, where, and for what purposes. This data can be manually requested and provided in an electronic format free of charge.

RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN

Should data subjects at any time wish to withdraw their consent and no longer allow The Parish of St Benedict’s Ealing to store their personal data, this request can be manually made. Please be sure to include the full name (including any prefixes) and email address of whom the data is in reference too, so that all data relating to the data subject in question can be accurately removed.

DATA PORTABILITY

Similar to the Right to Access, Data Portability requires that data subjects are able to request, obtain, and/or transfer possession of collected data at any time. As mentioned above, this data can be manually requested, and provided in an electronic format free of charge. Should the data subject wish to transfer the possession of the data stored by The Parish of St Benedict’s Ealing, please be sure to also include the full name (including any prefixes) and the relevant contact information relating to the individual or organisation whom you wish the data to be transferred to.

BREACH NOTIFICATION

Should The Parish of St Benedict’s Ealing encounter a breach/unauthorised access of personal data that is likely to “result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals”, The Parish of St Benedict’s Ealing will ensure that a notification is made within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Some of our web pages utilise “cookies” and other tracking technologies. Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser.

They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as ‘first-party cookies’), or by other websites who serve up content on that site (‘third party cookies’).

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed.
