Data Protection Act 1998

The Data Protection Act 1998 is designed to protect personal data about living individuals (‘Data Subjects’). This means that any person or organisation who handles personal data must comply with the requirements of the Act. Such a person or organisation is called a ‘Data Controller’.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information about a living individual from which that person can be identified. That information can exist in a variety of formats, for example on a computer or in a paper filing system.

What principles apply to the collection of personal data?

There are eight governing principles that must be followed in relation to the processing of data about individuals.

• We must process data fairly and lawfully.
• We must collect and process data for only one or more specified purposes. In essence, we must not collect data for one reason and then use it for something else.
• The data we hold must be adequate for its purpose or purposes but not excessive or irrelevant.
• Any data we hold must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date.
• We must not keep data for longer than necessary.
• We must process data in accordance with the rights of the Data Subject under the Act.
• We must ensure data is kept securely and we must guard against its accidental loss.
• We must not transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area unless the country receiving it has an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects.

Why does Wool and Purbeck Vineyard hold data about people?

We need to collect data for a variety of reasons, including for basic functions such as being able to contact you. There are legal reasons, such as having to hold details of all donations made through the Gift Aid scheme in order to comply with the HM Revenue & Customs regulations.

We also find it helpful to be able to monitor trends in attendance at things such as courses to help us be more responsive to the needs of the church. Wool and Purbeck Vineyard will not disclose your personal data to any third parties without your express consent, except where Wool and Purbeck Vineyard is required by law to do so.
