EUROPEAN UNION’S GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS (“GDPR”)
You may have certain rights under the European Union’s GDPR 2016/679. The GDPR is a complex regulatory scheme and we cannot and do not intend to provide every detail in this Privacy Policy. You can read the full GDPR and the relevant guidance provided by the applicable authorities for a full explanation.The GDPR provides the right, where applicable, to (a) access, (b) publication, (c) erasure, (d) restrict processing, (e) object to processing, (f) data portability, (g) complain to a supervisory authority, and (h) withdraw consent.
Where applicable, the GDPR provides the right to confirm whether we have processed your personal data (as defined in the GDPR) and, when we do, the right to access that data, together with certain other information including the purpose of processing, the categories of personal data concerned, and the recipients of the personal data. Where applicable, and providing that we do not affect the rights and freedoms of anyone else, we will supply you with one copy of your personal data. The first copy is free. We may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies. In some circumstances the GDPR provides you the right to erase your personal data without undue delay, including when we no longer need the personal data for the purpose for which we collected or processed the personal data, if you withdraw your consent to consent-based processing, if you object to the processing of the personal data under certain rules of the GDPR, if the processing is for the purpose of direct marketing, and if the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, the GDPR provides exceptions or exclusion to the right to erase, including where the processing is necessary for the exercise of free expression and information, to comply with legal obligation, or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.
In some circumstances the GDPR provides the right to restrict the processing of your personal data, such as to contest the accuracy of the personal data, where the processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure, when we no longer need the personal data for the purpose of our processing but you require personal data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, and you have objected to the processing pending the verification of that objection. But we will process your data otherwise only with your consent, to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or to protect another natural or legal person’s rights, or for reasons of important public interest.
If applicable, the GDPR provides the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your situation, but only to the extent that the processing is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest or to exercise any official authority vested in us, or for a legitimate interest pursued by us or someone else. If you object, we shall stop processing the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate processing is to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
You may object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes including profiling for direct marketing purposes. If you notify us of such an objection, we shall stop processing your personal data for that purpose. You may object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.
If the legal basis for our processing your personal data is consent or that the processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are a party, or in order to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and such processing is carried out by automatic means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. But this right does not apply when its application will adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
If you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes any data-protection statute, rule or regulation, you may lodge a complaint with the appropriate authorities responsible for data protection. If applicable, you may lodge that complaint in the European Union member state of your habitual residence, your workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement.
To the extent that we base our processing of your personal data on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. But your withdrawal of that consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we do before your withdrawal.
If applicable, you may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by email us at helpdesk@battlecreekchurch.com.
