The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) became law across Europe on Friday May 25th, 2018. The Diocese of Paisley would like to reassure you that it takes your data very seriously, and will protect it in compliance with all aspects of the new regulation. We have established that for Parish groups and ministries there is legitimate interest for the purpose of contacting you that constitutes the legal basis for holding personal data and, for Gift Aid, this is covered by the agreement that you previously signed so you do not need to do anything else at present. If there is any further need to gain your approval for any specific purpose then we will contact you directly. There will also be copies of our Privacy Notice available to download via the DOCUMENT(s) links below:

I am happy to announce that we have clarification from GDPR regarding prayers for those who are sick.      It reads as follows: 
Post GDPR legislation the policy of Paisley Diocese, which has been agreed in consultation with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), is to continue with our Sick Lists as usual, either in terms of whether we include names in our Sunday Masses intercessions or print them in our parish bulletins. 
Our expert opinion is that we do not need to go down the road of ‘consent’ as the lawful basis for our personal data processing.  Indeed the  Catholic Insurance Service cautioned us against using consent as such a basis. Instead we have opted to depend on another foundational principle of GDPR legislation, namely ‘lawful basis for processing’. In these terms parishes have a ‘legitimate interest’ as churches and faith communities in publishing the names of their sick members and their loved ones so that prayers can be offered for them.  This policy is supported by our Diocesan Privacy Policy, which states what we use the data for and how we will protect it.  All of this assumes our custom of taking whatever  reasonable steps, as practice and circumstances allow, to seek the permission of the sick, advising them that their names will be read out and published for the purpose of prayers.
Such permission, as per above, does not need to be in written form to be assumed.        Bishop John (2018)
