CARFIELD COMMUNITY CHOIR

 Data Protection Procedures

 Introduction

These procedures cover the main, regular ways we collect and use personal data. 
We may from time to time collect and use data in ways not covered here. In these cases 
we will ensure our Data Protection Policy is upheld. We will review our policy every 2 years.

General procedures

  1. Data will be stored securely. When it is stored electronically, it will be kept in password protected files and a secure Google Groups mailing list. When it is stored online in a third party website (e.g. Google Drive) we will check that the third party comply with the GDPR. When it is stored on paper it will be filed in a locked filing box.
  2. When we no longer need data, or when someone has asked for their data to be removed, it will be deleted from our database and our records, and any paper data will be shredded.
  3. Where any explicit consent to collect and use data has been requested and given, we will keep the records of consent and store them securely in password protected files or in a locked filing box.

Mailing list

  1. We will maintain a mailing list. This will include the names and contact details of people who wish to receive choir related information such as weekly updates, minutes of meetings, and publicity regarding events, i.e. our group’s “legitimate interests”
  2. Separate explicit consent will be requested if there is a need to communicate with members about information which falls outside this purpose.
  3. When people sign up to the list we will explain how their details will be used, how they will be stored, and that they may ask to be removed from the list at any time. 
We will provide information about how to be removed from the list with every mailing.

Communication with and between volunteers

Members of the choir periodically volunteer to support choir activities in a number of ways, for example in the organisation of the Singing Weekend and the Grand Day Out.

To allow volunteers to work together to organise for the group, it is sometimes necessary to share volunteer contact details with other volunteers. We will only do this with explicit consent of the people concerned.

Communication with and between committee members

The committee need to be in contact with one another in order to run the organisation effectively and ensure its legal obligations are met.

Committee contact details will be shared among the committee with the consent of the members.

Committee members will not share each others’ contact details with anyone outside of the committee, or use them for anything other than Carfield Community Choir business, without explicit consent.

Review

These procedures will be reviewed every two years
