4. Legal Basis for Processing

We are most likely to process your data because it is necessary for our legitimate interests, or the legitimate interests of a third party. We will always take into account your interests, rights and freedoms.

We may process your data because it is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation.

We may process your data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter into a contract.

Religious organisations are also permitted to process information about your religious beliefs to administer membership or contact details.

Where your information is used other than in accordance with one of these legal bases, we will first obtain your consent to that use.

5. Data Sharing

We will only share your personal data with third parties where it is necessary for the performance of our tasks or where you first give us your prior consent. We may need to share your data with some or all of the following (but only where necessary):

• Our agents and contractors e.g. to send books

• Other persons or organisations operating within the field of theological education and clergy training e.g. theological colleges, universities, personal tutors, supervisors

• Persons whom you have named as referees or with whom you have told us you have an ecclesiological relationship e.g. for lay persons, your parish priest; for clergy, your bishop.

Our policy with regard to data retention is as follows:

• We will keep some records permanently if legally required to do so.

• The minutes of our meetings, which constitute the historical record of our activities, are retained permanently. These include the name and institution or diocese of each applicant, and any amounts awarded, but no other personal data.

• Financial records which include personal data are kept for seven years and then deleted/destroyed.

• Personal data relating to unsuccessful applicants are deleted/destroyed after the meeting at which their application was considered.

• Personal data relating to successful applicants are retained for five years and then deleted/destroyed.
