accordance with this Privacy Statement.
The CGA promises to comply with its duties under the
legislation to keep Affiliates’ details secure. The CGA will
only share them with suppliers or professional agents
working on its behalf, who comply with GDPR.
When the CGA receives Affiliates’ data, the CGA will store
them in its database. This database may only be
accessed by certain employees and always via a secure
password. Employees may be given access to Affiliates’
data on the database, as necessary, to enable Affiliates’

future activities in which they could participate,
development plans or about fundraising

Affiliates’ consent
The legal basis on which the CGA relies for processing
Affiliates’ data will be at least one of the following:
• Affiliates have provided their consent for the CGA
to use their data in a certain way.
• It is necessary for the CGA to store and process
Affiliates’ data to comply with a legal obligation to which
the CGA is subject.
• It is in the CGA’s legitimate interests to process
Affiliates’ data, e.g. in order to administer

administer the charity, provided this is not
unwarranted by reason of prejudice to them.
(The CGA’s legitimate interest in such cases is to raise
funds in pursuance of its charitable purposes.

for its legitimate interests, the CGA makes sure
that it considers and balances any potential
impact on Affiliates, both positive and negative,

by e-mail, SMS/text, post or phone if they have given it
specific consent. The CGA will contact Affiliates for the
following purposes: to give them information about
forthcoming events and activities, or to support the
work of the CGA. If Affiliates withdraw their consent and
then subsequently opt in, then their most recent
preference may supersede such withdrawal.
Affiliates can opt out of the CGA using their personal
details for marketing at any time by emailing
info@catholicgrandparentsassociation.com.
How the CGA protects Affiliates’ personal information
The CGA aims to take appropriate physical, electronic
and managerial measures to ensure that it keeps
Affiliates’ information secure, accurate and up-to-date
and that the CGA only keeps it as long as is reasonable
and necessary.
Although the CGA uses appropriate security measures,
once the CGA has received Affiliates’ personal
information, the transmission of information over the
internet is never completely secure. The CGA does its
best to protect personal information. The CGA cannot,
however, guarantee the security of information
transmitted from the CGA website. Therefore,
any transmission is at the user’s own risk.
How long the CGA keeps Affiliates’ data
The CGA will keep Affiliates’ personal data for no longer
than is necessary for the purposes for which it is
processed.
If Affiliates ask the CGA not to contact them any more,
the CGA will keep some basic information about them
on its suppression list, in order to avoid sending them
unwanted materials in the future.
Affiliates’ credit card information
If Affiliates use their credit cards to donate
to the CGA, buy something from the CGA or make a booking via the
CGA website, the CGA may pass Affiliates’ credit
card details securely to its payment processing partner as
part of the payment process. The CGA does this in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Security
Standards. The CGA does not store any credit card details on the website.
Membership
The CGA will continue to hold, where relevant, personal
information for the duration of Affiliates’ membership
of the CGA, and following their death, resignation or expulsion such data will be securely
archived.
