 Lawful processing

We are required by law to rely on one or more lawful grounds to process your personal information. Much of our processing is done on the basis of legitimate interest. However, we may also rely on other bases including consent, legal obligations, performance of contracts, and vital interests.

When determining legitimate interest, we will conduct balancing tests to ensure that 1) the interest is legitimate; 2) that processing of data is necessary to the identified interest; and that 3) the pursuit of the interest will not negatively impact you.

 How long is your information kept for?

We keep your information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes it was collected for. The length of time we retain your personal information for is determined by practical and legal considerations. For example, we are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory and regulatory obligations (e.g. health/safety and tax/accounting purposes). Things like church registers of baptisms, marriages, and funerals will be kept indefinitely.
