St Johns Parish Youth Data Privacy Notice

What is a Privacy Notice?
A privacy notice helps tell you how St John’s Parish Church Moira uses information it has about you, like your name, address, date of birth and any other information such as photographs which we collect. Why do we need one? St John’s Church needs a privacy notice to make sure it meets the legal requirements which are written in a new document called the General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR for short).

What is the GDPR?
What a great question! The GDPR are new rules that helps St John’s Church keep the information about you secure. It’s new and was introduced on the 25th May 2018, making sure that your Sunday School Teacher, Youth Leader, Volunteer or any other church staff follow the rules and keep your information safe.

How do you know about our privacy notice?
We have posters in the Parish Church, Parish Centre and Logic and we also have information about privacy on our website, telling you how we use the information we have about you.
What information do we collect about you?
Don’t worry; we only collect the information we need– such as your name, address, information about your parents or guardians, records of attendance, telephone calls and any other information to enable us to look after you.

How do we use your information?
Another great question! Your information is taken to help us look after when in our care. But we might need to share this information with others, such as if you go on a trip; but don’t worry, we will normally ask you, or your parents or adults with parental responsibility, if it’s okay to share your information and will only do so if we really have to.

How do we keep your information private?
Well, we know at St John’s that it is very important to protect the information we have about you. We make sure we follow the rules that are written in the GDPR and other important rule books.

Don’t want to share?
All of our parishioners, no matter what their age, can say that they don’t want to share their information including photographs. If you’re under 13 this is something which your parents or adults with parental responsibility will have to decide. They or you can get more information from any leader, who can also explain what this means to you.

How do I access my records?
Remember we told you about the GDPR? Well, if you want to see what is written about you, you have a right to access the information we hold about you, but you will need to complete a Subject Access Request (SAR). Your parents or adults with parental responsibility will do this on your behalf if you’re under 13. If you are 13 or over, you are able to request this yourself.

What do I do if I have a question?
If you have any questions, ask your Sunday School Teacher, Youth Leader, Volunteer or any other church staff or your parents or adults with parental responsibility. You can:
1. Contact (028) 9261 7136
2. Ask to speak to the Data Protection Trustee Matthew Simpson or any leader
What to do if you’re not happy about how we manage your information
We really want to make sure you’re happy, but we understand that sometimes things can go wrong. If you or your parents or adults with parental responsibility are unhappy with any part of our data-processing methods, you can complain.
