HARBURY VILLAGE LIBRARY & BIBLIO’S CAFE PRIVACY NOTICE
Harbury
Village Library and Biblio’s Cafe (HVL) has updated our Privacy Notice
to reflect changes we have made as part of our ongoing commitment to be
transparent about how we use your data and keep it safe. We have
included changes to address the new standards introduced by the
European data protection law, known as the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). This will be updated in line with any new
recommendations by the UK Regulator, the Information Commissioner, once
the new Data Protection Act has become law in 2018.
Our privacy
notice sets out how HVL collects, stores and handles your personal
information and what your information rights are. Your rights will vary
with the service being used.
Personal information may be
collected on a paper or online form, by telephone, email or by one of
our volunteers, or one of our partners.
Who We Are
HVL is a registered charity, No. 1146191,
whose object is “the advancement of education for the public benefit by
the maintenance and operation of a library in the village of Harbury”.
We are currently not required to register with the Information
Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as either a “data controller” or “data
processor” under the Data Protection Act. A member of our Steering
Committee is the nominated Data Protection Officer. Please see contact
information below.
Why we collect information about you
We need to collect and hold information about you, in order to:
* deliver public services * confirm your identity to provide some services * contact you by post, email or telephone * understand your needs to provide the services that you request * understand what we can do for you and inform you of other relevant services and benefits * obtain your opinion about our services * update your customer record
* help us to build up a picture of how we are performing at
delivering services to you and what services the people of Harbury need
How we use your information
We
will use the information you provide in a manner that conforms to the
Data Protection legislation. We will endeavour to keep your information
accurate and up to date and not keep it for longer than is necessary.
In some instances the law sets the length of time information has to be
kept.
In general, we process your information for the following purposes:
* for the service you requested, and to monitor and improve the HVL’s performance in responding to your request * to allow us to be able to communicate and provide service appropriate to your needs * to ensure that we meet our legal obligations * where necessary to protect individuals from harm or injury * to allow the statistical analysis of data so we can plan the provision of services.
We
will not pass any personal data on to third parties, other than those
who either process information on our behalf, or because of a legal
requirement, and it will only do so, where possible, after we have
ensured that sufficient steps have been taken to protect the personal
data by the recipient. We do not sell your information to any
organisation.
We will not disclose any information that you
provide ‘in confidence’ to us, to anyone else without your permission,
except in the few situations where disclosure is required by law, or
where we have good reason to believe that failing to share the
information would put someone else at risk. You will be told about this.
Information sharing
We
may need to pass your information to other people and organisations
that provide the service. These providers are obliged to keep your
details securely, and use them only to fulfil your request. If we wish
to pass your sensitive or confidential information onto a third party,
we will only do so once we have obtained your consent, unless we are
legally required to do so.
We may disclose information to other
partners where it is necessary, either to comply with a legal
obligation, or where permitted under the Data Protection Act, e.g.
where the disclosure is necessary for the purposes of the prevention
and/or detection of crime.
Where we need to disclose sensitive
or confidential information to other partners, we will do so only with
your prior explicit consent or where we are legally required to.
We may disclose information when necessary to prevent risk of harm to an individual.
At
no time will your information be passed to organisations external to us
and our partners, for marketing or sales purposes or for any commercial
use without your prior express consent.
Communication with HVL
Telephone calls
We will inform you if we record or monitor any telephone calls you make to us.
Emails
If
you email us we may keep a record of your contact and your email
address and the email for our record keeping of the transaction. For
security reasons we will not include any confidential information about
you in any email we send to you, unless you agree to this.
We
suggest that you keep the amount of confidential information you send
to us via email to a minimum and use email encryption, our secure
online forms and services.
Where you receive emails direct from
us, you can withdraw consent and ask to be removed from the mailing
list at any time by contacting the us.

* subscribe to or apply for services that require personal information, * contact us and leave your details for us to respond.

The
information you provide will be subject to rigorous measures and
procedures to make sure it can’t be seen, accessed or disclosed to
anyone who shouldn’t be allowed to see it.
We have a
comprehensive set of Information and Security policies. These define
our commitments and responsibilities to your privacy and cover a range
of information and technology security areas. We provide training to
staff who handle personal information and treat it as a disciplinary
matter if they misuse or do not look after your personal information
properly.
We conduct assessments of privacy when making changes
to processes or systems that hold your personal data. We assess the
technical security of our systems and supplier systems.
We will
not keep your information longer than it is needed or where the law
states how long this should be kept. We will dispose of paper records
or delete any electronic personal information in a secure way.
We
will investigate data incidents where we have found that your personal
information may have or has been disclosed inappropriately and attempt
to recover any data. We will inform you unless we decide it would
present a risk to you and inform the authorities such as Police,
Information Commissioner or NHS where required.
Your information rights
In general, you have the right to request that HVL:
* provide a copy of your personal information * correct any errors in your personal information and restrict processing until completed * object to the processing, depending on the service and legal basis * erase personal information, depending on the service and legal basis * withdraw consent and have your data deleted, if consent is used as the legal basis for the service
Where
possible we will seek to comply with your request but we may be
required to hold, retain or process information to comply with a legal
obligation or as a public task.
We try to ensure that any
information we hold about you is correct. There may be situations where
you find the information we hold is no longer accurate and you have the
