Parish Privacy POLICY
Who are we?
This parish is part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. The parish is a registered charity
(charity no. CHY7424). The Parish Priest/Administrator/Moderator is the data controller for the
parish, in other words he is the person responsible for making sure your data is safe and secure.
Baptism Registers
The Archbishop is the sole controller of the personal data and special category data contained in
the Baptism Registers held in Parishes of the Archdiocese with respect to storage and retention
of data, standard and special annotation of data and alteration of data. The Archbishop, along
with the Parish Priest/Administrator/Moderator assigned to the Parish which holds the Baptism
Register, are each a joint controller of the personal data and special category data with respect to
collecting and recording of data in the Baptism Register.
Your personal data – what is it?
Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification
can be through the information alone or in conjunction with other information in the data
controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is
governed by the General Data Protection Regulation or the GDPR and the Data Protection Act
(2018).
Who does this Privacy Notice apply to?
This Privacy notice is for all those whose personal information is dealt with in any way by the
parish including parishioners, clergy, staff, volunteers, contractors, suppliers and visitors and
there may be others.
What is the lawful basis for processing your personal data?
The GDPR requires specification in the Privacy Notice of the lawful basis for processing
personal data. Below are the lawful bases which are relevant to our processing activities;

Legitimate interests – this includes any activities that involve advancing and maintaining the
Roman Catholic religion.
Where processing is carried out by a not-for-profit body with a religious aim provided: -
o the processing relates only to members of the congregation or former members (or
those who have regular contact with it in connection with those purposes); and
o there is no disclosure to a third party without consent.
Baptism Registers held in Parishes of the Archdiocese
Where personal data and special category data is processed in the Baptism Registers held in
Parishes of the Archdiocese, the Archbishop relies on the legitimate interests in preserving the
information contained in Baptism Registers because such registers consist of a record of the
administration of certain sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church. It is essential that the
Archbishop maintains a record of certain sacraments which may only be administered once in
the Roman Catholic Church. As personal data contained in the Baptism Registers is special
category personal data, the Archbishop must have an additional lawful basis for processing. The
Archbishop relies on processing carried out in the course of his legitimate activities with
appropriate safeguards and the processing relates solely to members or former members of the
Roman Catholic Church, and personal data is not disclosed outside the Roman Catholic Church
without the consent of the member/former member concerned.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a healing remedy for our sins, presented to God in the presence of the priest. Although serious matters should be brought before the priest when available, our lesser sins are healed through the celebration of Mass or with sincere contrition & good works.
-
Fr. Derek will provide the (appropriately socially distant) Sacrament of Penance & Reconciliation by appointment,
or as requested anytime by the homebound, the sick & the dying.
Please contact the Pastoral Area Office for all appointments, emergencies, & special needs (01 8354138 / 087 1911902).
PARISH FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS
We are aware that these are very difficult and worrying times for all of us. Our Parish income has suffered as a result of the imposed restrictions due to the Coronavirus. If you are able to offer some regular financial support, via Standing Order, we would be most grateful.
Those who very kindly contribute to the Family Offering via the parish envelopes may wish to continue using the envelopes by collecting them at home and bringing them back to the parish when it is safe to do so. Alternatively, you may wish to consider replacing your envelope donation to contribute with a standing order.
Standing Order Forms can be downloaded and returned to the Pastoral Area Office. Many thanks.
IMPORTANT Garda Vetting Announcement
If you have recently completed a Garda vetting form but have not received or replied to an email from the National Vetting Bureau, please contact the Pastoral Area Office. (The email may have found its way into your Junk or Spam box) It is vitally important that the Vetting process is completed as soon as possible. Please let us know if you need any help with this.
