Under the GDPR the first principle requires that we process all personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. The individual’s right to be informed under Article 13 and 14 requires us to provide people with information about our lawful basis for processing. The lawful bases for processing are set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. At least one of these must apply whenever we process personal data:
- Consent: the individual has given clear consent for us to process their personal data for a specific purpose.
- Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we have with the individual, or because they have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
- Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
- Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.
- Public task: the processing is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest or for our official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.
- Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. (This cannot apply if it’s a public authority processing data to perform official tasks.)
In our case:
- Consent is the lawful basis for processing personal data gathered for statistical purposes, membership, mail-outs, complaints, networking and volunteering.
- Contract is the lawful basis for processing personal data for paid employment contracts or supply of goods and services.
- Vital interests is the lawful basis for processing personal data for the safeguarding of vulnerable adults or children.
