We store and destroy personal data securely and do not collect or retain personal data which is in excess of our processing activities. We take steps to protect all personal data (including Special Category Data) from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure by ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to protect personal data.

We ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with the principles of the GDPR and is processed:

Lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner;
For specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not processed in a manner which is incompatible with those purposes;
Accurately, relevantly and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed;
Kept accurate and where necessary kept up to date, with all reasonable steps being taken to ensure that all inaccurate data is erased or rectified without delay;
Is not kept longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
and In a manner that ensures appropriate security of the Personal Data including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage by using appropriate technical and organisational measures.

HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.

Legitimate interests mean our interests in running our charity, fulfilling our role as custodian trustee and employer, complying with the Constitution Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church, the 1939 Trust Deed and obligations under charity law and providing support to Managing Trustees and the wider Church to help fulfil the calling of the Methodist Church in Great Britain. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting our Data Privacy Manager.

Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

Performance of Contract means processing your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract including employment contracts.

Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

In rare cases we may need to use your personal data in the following circumstances:

Vital interests means where it is necessary to use your personal data to protect your "vital interests" or those of another person (such as a child) in a life-or-death situation.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

Where we need to perform a task carried out in the public interest e.g. in certain safeguarding situations.

Refer to the Lawful Bases Guidance Notice (click here if you are reading this privacy notice online) to find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data.

Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than to legitimise dealing with Special Category Data. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting the Data Privacy Manager although this will not prevent processing where the law allows us to process for a different reason in addition to consent.

SPECIAL CATEGORY DATA

Where data processing relates to Special Categories of Data (e.g. health information included in your employment records or dietary requests) the following processing conditions apply in addition to the legal basis identified in the table in the Annex to this privacy notice:

Explicit Consent has been given by the data subject;

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

Processing is carried out by a not for profit body with a religious aim provided:

the processing relates to member 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;

Processing relates to personal data manifestly made public by the data subject
Processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, defence of legal claims or where the courts are acting in their judicial capacity; or
Processing is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific and historical research purposes or statistical purpoes.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have set out in detail in the Annex to this privacy notice, in a table format, a description of the main ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate. Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table in the Annex.

NOTIFYING YOU ABOUT EVENTS

We like to notify you about upcoming events including conferences, presentations and training opportunities so that you can benefit from the support and guidance available and play as much of a role in the life of TMCP and the wider Church as you choose from time to time. Most of the time we will let you know about such opportunities on the basis that we have a legitimate interest in doing so.

If we decide to contact you by email or telephone where you are registered with the telephone preference service we will provide you with choices as required to do so under data protection legislation and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal information with any third party for marketing purposes.

OPTING OUT

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages (e.g. messages about TMCP events or notification of new articles published on the News Hub section of our website) by following the opt-out links on any marketing messages sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of services provided to you e.g. although the marketing messages will be stopped we may still need to use your personal information for other purposes relating to your employment with us, guidance we provide to you and transactional issues etc.

COOKIES

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our websites may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please refer to the information available from www.aboutcookies.org.uk or see our cookie policy when it is available.

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact our Data Privacy Manager.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

SHARING PERSONAL DATA

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table in the Annex. Internal third parties such as:

Other Methodist organisations which also form part of the Methodist Connexion and family, such as Local Churches, Circuits, Districts and the Connexional Team.

We will ask all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow third-parties to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We may at times transfer and process personal data outside of the EEA. This is particularly relevant in relation to transactions, trust matters and data protection issues on the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.

However, storing, publishing or transmitting personal data via the internet, (this includes by email), is not completely secure and therefore whilst we take all reasonable and necessary precautions to protect personal data from unauthorised access, you acknowledge that there is a risk that your personal data may be transferred and accessed outside of the EEA.

We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data in accordance with our internal data security policy. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those members, volunteers, ministers and employees who have a need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place reasonable and appropriate procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Full details of retention periods for data processed by us can be found in our retention policy which you can request from us by contacting us using the contact details in this privacy notice.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Section 9 and details about Request Erasure below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Unless personal data is subject to an exemption under GDPR, such as itis subject to the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of a criminal offence, you have the following rights with regards to your personal data:

Where consent is used as the legal basis for processing personal data, you have the right to withdraw consentto the data processing at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent or processing carried out using an alternative legal basis such as performance of a contract or legal obligation;
The right to request a copy of the personal data which we hold about you (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. If you would like to exercise this right then please complete the relevant Data Subject Access Form and forward to the Data Privacy Manager;
The right to request that we correct any Personal Data which is found to be inaccurate. Note that we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us;
The right to request that we erase an Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
Where consent or the performance of a contract is used as the legal basis for processing Personal Data, you have the right to request the transferof your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you and this right is unlikely to apply to personal data held by us.
The right to request for a restriction on data processing. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;
Where legitimate interest is used as the legal basis for processing Personal Data, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data where there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).
