4. What is Personal Data?

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) defines “personal data” as: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”. The GDPR classifies certain data as belonging to “special categories”, as follows:

·      Racial origin;
·      Ethnic origin;
·      Political opinions;
·      Religious beliefs;
·      Membership to a trade-union;
·      Genetic data;
·      Biometric data;
·      Health data;
·      Data concerning a natural person's sex life;
·      Sexual orientation

The GDPR requires that consent is provided by the data subject for all types of personal data, including those pertaining to the special categories set out above and otherwise. Consent must be explicitly provided.  When SEVENTH WAVE requests sensitive data from data subjects, it is required to confirm why the information is required and how it will be used.  

5. Legal Basis
To store and process personal data, SEVENTH WAVE relies on four legal bases:
·      Data Subject Consent [GDPR, Art. 6 (1) (a)]
·       Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject or to take steps to enter into a contract [GDPR, Art. 6 (1) (b)]
·       Legal obligation [GDPR, Art 6 (1) c)]
·      Legitimate Interest [GDPR, Art. 6 (1) (f)]

Consent
Data Subject Consent is the main legal basis for the storing and processing of personal data. When we collect your personal data, via our online booking forms, for the purpose of storing and processing it, we will always ask for your consent to do so in the form of a ‘positive opt-in method’ as recommended by the GDPR.  

Processing Necessary for Performance of a Contract  
Sometimes SEVENTH WAVE will collect, store, and process personal data for contractual purposes. As stated in the GDPR, (Article 6, (1) (a)) “Processing should be lawful where it is necessary in the context of a contract or the intention to enter into a contract.” This includes:

·      During the recruitment of new partners;
·      During the completion of a training contract with a client;

Legal Obligation
In some circumstances SEVENTH WAVE is required to process personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which SEVENTH WAVE is subject.  This includes:
·      Processing personal data for compliance with HMRC employment regulations;
·      Processing personal data on donations for compliance with HMRC regulations;
·      Compliance with a police/court investigation;

Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests - we will not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). We process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include the following:  

Direct Marketing: We will contact you by post and telephone with marketing and fundraising asks which furthers our aims and objectives.

Due Diligence: We may need to conduct investigations on supporters, potential customers and business partners to determine if those companies and individuals have been involved or convicted of offences such as fraud, bribery and corruption.  Whenever we process data for these purposes we will ensure that we always keep your Personal Data rights in high regard and take account of these rights. You have the right to object to this processing if you wish, and if you wish to do so please contact us directly.
