Special Categories of Data

Note that although not directly covered by GDPR, data relating to criminal offences and convictions will generally be treated as if it is a special category of data.

Compliance with GDPR

As per the Core Principles of GDPR, Personal Data Should be:

  • processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals

  • collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes

  • adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed

  • accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that Personal Data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay

  • kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data are processed

  • processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the Personal Data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures

At Jersey Rescue Dogs, we:

  • maintain appropriate policies and procedures for collecting and processing Personal Data

  • maintain a Personal Data Register that sets out the Personal Data for which it is Data Controller/Processor and confirms there is a lawful basis for processing this data and it is being processed fairly;

  • Privacy Impact Assessments are conducted when new types of Personal Data or new methods of processing Personal Data are being evaluated by JRD;

  • Where required, compliant Privacy Notices are issued to Data Subjects;

  • Policies and processes are in place for responding to Data Subjects’ requests to view, correct or delete their data;

  • JRD has adequate processes in place for the destruction or anonymisation of Personal Data when they are no longer required (for legal or business reasons)

Personal Data should be stored in compliance with the Data Protection Principles set out above in section 3.

JRD will or will require that its delegates will take appropriate technical and organisational security measures, taking into account the risks presented by the processing, in particular from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to Personal Data transmitted, or stored.

In the course of the JRD’s business, the JRD may collect and process the Personal Data set out in the Personal Data Register in Appendix A. This may include data that JRD receives directly from a Data Subject (for example, by completing forms or by corresponding with JRD by mail, phone, email or otherwise) and data that JRD receives from other sources.

 

JRD will only process Personal Data for the specific purposes set out in Appendix A or for any other purposes specifically permitted by the GDPR.

If it is to be processed in any other way or for any other purpose, JRD will evaluate whether this is compatible with the information provided to Data Subjects (e.g. Privacy Notices) or, if applicable, consent received from Data Subjects, and with any Privacy Impact Assessments that have been performed or may be required.

JRD will take (or require its service providers to take) reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data JRD holds are accurate and kept up-to-date. JRD will take (or require its service providers to take) reasonable steps to check the accuracy of any Personal Data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. JRD will take (or require its service providers to take) all reasonable steps to amend or destroy inaccurate or out-of-date Personal Data.

​

JRD will ask for consent for storing Personal Data and consent to its use (please see section 6). For example, JRD will only contact a Data Subject about our fundraising activities if we have an accurate record of your recent and freely given consent to do so.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing jerseyrescuedogs@hotmail.co.uk.

There are times when it is not practical to obtain and record consent. At those times, we will only process personal information if that processing would meet another legal or business reason legal in which case we would only process in accordance with GDPR, the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 and the Data Protection Authority (Jersey) Law 2018

​

Privacy Notices are used to inform Data Subjects about the nature and extent of the processing of their Personal Data. JRD’s Privacy Notice is in Appendix B

If the Personal Data is obtained directly from the Data Subject, Privacy Notices will be provided at the time the data is obtained.

If the Personal Data is not obtained directly from the Data Subject, Privacy Notices will be provided:

  • Always within a reasonable period of having obtained the data (and, in any event, within one month);

  • If the data are used to communicate with the individual, at the latest, when the first communication takes place; or

  • If disclosure to another recipient is envisaged, at the latest before the data are disclosed.

​

Privacy Notices will be provided clearly and separately from any other information provided to the Data Subject (in practice, typically this means the Privacy Notice will be a separate document rather than integrated into Disclaimers, Terms and Conditions etc.).

Where the JRD intends to process the Personal Data for a further purpose, other than that for which the Personal Data were collected, JRD will provide the Data Subject prior to that further processing with information on that purpose.

​

Personal Data will be kept in a form that permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data are processed. In practice, this means the data must be destroyed or anonymised when either:

  • JRD has no legal basis to keep them; or

  • JRD has neither a business requirement nor a legal requirement to keep them.

​

JRD will only share Personal Data where necessary, and the Data Subject is aware. For example, with another charity in relation to a dog they are helping. JRD will not share Personal Data for marketing purposes.

​

Where a Personal Data Breach involving Personal Data has occurred:

  • JRD will keep records of all Personal Data Breaches (facts, effects and remedial action); and

  • JRD will determine as soon as possible (generally within 24 hours) whether or not the breach is unlikely to result in any harm to Data Subjects, and therefore whether or not there is a need to notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours.

 

If a notification is made it must contain:

  • a description of the breach, including approximate number of Data Subjects affected and categories of data;

  • the name and contact details of the relevant point of contact at JRD;

  • the likely consequences of the breach; and

  • any measures taken to remedy or mitigate the breach.

 

Note that in situations where JRD is the Data Controller, and a breach has occurred at a Data Processor, JRD is required to be informed of the breach by the Data Processor without undue delay and the process above must still be applied.

Where the Personal Data Breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Directors shall communicate the Personal Data Breach to the Data Subject without undue delay.
