1. Your personal data – what is it?
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).
2. Who are we?
SPIDIR is a network of Spiritual Directors based in the Diocese of Southwark, and run by volunteers. We run a training course for Spiritual Directors and manage a referral process for people looking for Direction. SPIDIR has a database of members, a separate database of trained Spiritual Directors, and when courses are running, a separate database of course members and leaders. SPIDIR also receives requests from people seeking referral to a Director. All this means SPIDIR is a “data controller” and decides how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.
3. How do we process your personal data?
SPIDIR complies with its obligations under the “GDPR” by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.
