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”).
Who are we?

The Stroudwater Team of Churches 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.
We use your personal data for the following purposes: -
- To administer membership records;
- To manage our volunteers;
- To maintain our own accounts and records
- To inform you of news, events, activities including those run by likeminded organisations;
What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?
- Explicit consent of the data subject so that we can keep you informed about news, events and activities

Sharing your personal data
Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared with other officers of churches in the team for purposes connected with the Church. We will not share your data with third parties outside of the Church.
