Data Protection: caring for one another's privacy

People speak about “GDPR” in various ways, sometimes as a reason not to do something, sometimes as a burden, sometimes as a swearword. But the General Data Protection Regulations (which is what GDPR stands for) are largely a mix of common sense, and about how we take reasonable steps to protect one another’s privacy.

This session is intended to cover the basics of GDPR as they affect parish life, and to demystify terms like “legitimate interest” or “contractual obligation” by explaining where and how they affect parish administration.

Our news often carries reports of a hack or data breach at some large company or other, accompanied by at least annoyance and sometimes real anger that these large corporations have let their customers down. We know that it matters to us that companies take care of our data. This training is about helping us be good stewards of the personal data of the people we serve and care for.

Doug Chaplin (Discipleship and Lay Training Officer) and Judith Nex (Pastoral and Governance Administrator) will lead this workshop.
