The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”).

Who are we?

The Parish Council (PC) of Minstead is the data controller (contact details below).  This means it decides how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

The PC of Minstead 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 only to provide Newsletters, Updates and information of community interest.

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, updates and information of community interest.

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and we will only share it with third parties outside of the parish with your consent.

 How long do we keep your personal data?

We keep data until you tell us you no longer wish us to hold it.

Your rights and your personal data

Unless subject to an exemption under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data: –

  • The right to request a copy of your personal data which the PC of Minstead holds about you;

  • The right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office.

Further processing

If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Data Protection Notice, then we will provide you with a new notice explaining this new use prior to commencing the processing and setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions. Where and whenever necessary, we will seek your prior consent to the new processing.
