References to the processing of information includes the collection, use, storage and protection of data. Chabad Lubavitch UK is the 'data controller' for the purposes of this policy, and the policy extends to its staff, trustees, volunteers and anyone else processing data on our behalf from time to time.
Organisations are permitted to process data if they have a legal basis for doing so. Chabad Lubavitch UK processes data on the basis that:
- Express and informed consent has been given by the person whose data is being processed; and/or

- There is a legal obligation on Chabad Lubavitch UK to process data.
Where Chabad Lubavitch UK is relying solely on consent as the basis for processing data, we are required to obtain your explicit consent and you can modify or withdraw this consent at any time by notifying us in writing, although this may affect the extent to which Chabad Lubavitch UK is able to provide services to or interact with you in future.
Chabad Lubavitch UK may change this policy from time to time and any such changes will be published on our website. Notwithstanding any change to this policy, we will continue to process your personal data in accordance with your rights and our obligations in law.
This policy is effective from 20 March 2018.

What we do with the data we process
Where required by law or a legal obligation, we may, if necessary, share your data with the appropriate authorities, for example, to prevent the commission of an offence or to facilitate its investigation, or to safeguard a vulnerable individual.
You, as the data subject, may change your preferences or request deletion of your data at any time in writing, subject to any overriding legal requirement for its retention, such as the need, where appropriate, to retain Gift Aid records for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. We may keep such data on a 'suppression list' so we know not to contact you or process your data in future until further notice.
Your rights in relation to your personal data
You may request details of personal information which we hold about you. Any such request must be submitted in writing. A small fee may be payable if an information request is particularly onerous.
You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information, but this may inhibit or limit the way in which Chabad Lubavitch UK is able to interact with you. You may, at any time, change your mind about what information we hold about you, or if we continue to hold it at all, subject to any legal obligation on Chabad Lubavitch UK to retain data.
You are responsible for the accuracy of data you have provided to Chabad Lubavitch UK. If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to us as soon as possible. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the data we process. Persons processing data on behalf of Chabad Lubavitch UK do so in accordance with this policy and on the basis that Chabad Lubavitch UK is satisfied that they can and will adhere to our high standards for data protection and security.
