Chellington Centre Privacy Notice
This information is our privacy notice. It explains what we do with your personal information, why we want to use it, how we protect it, and what rights you have to control our use of your personal data.
The most important fact is that it’s your personal data. We have complete respect for your rights and we will only use your data where necessary to deliver our services to you or your employer, or if you have asked, to keep you up to date.

The data controller is The Chellington Centre, St Nicolas Church, Felmersham Road, Chellington, MK43 7NA. Our registration number with the Information Commissioner’s Office is ZA161669

The purpose and lawful basis for processing your personal data
We use information for a few different purposes and these each have a different lawful basis. This describes these in detail:
Disclosure of your data.
International transfers of personal data, and the measures in place to safeguard it
Microsoft, Xero, Checkfront are all “cloud-based systems”, which means the information is held in huge information data centres in different locations. All the cloud-based systems we use reserve the right to hold copies of your personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA.) This section explains the impact of these international transfers and how your information is protected. Please note that the reason companies may choose to do this is to hold back-up copies, so they can guarantee recovery.
Xero may transfer your information to servers in New Zealand. The European Commission has approved New Zealand as a country having adequate laws and safeguards to protect your privacy.
Microsoft and Xero may transfer your personal information to cloud data centres in the USA. The personal privacy laws and safeguards in the USA aren’t as good, so the European Commission has approved a system called “EU-US Privacy Shield” to make sure the personal information of European citizens is properly protected if held by companies in the USA.
Retention of data
We will not collect more information than we need to fulfil our stated purposes and will not keep it for longer than is necessary. For applications of employment, this will be for a period of six months, after which the data will be securely destroyed. Retention of client data see above.
Your rights
You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold relating to you and we must provide this within 30 days. We will take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the information that we hold. If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to or email us as soon as possible. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
You have the right to require us to erase personal data and we must comply unless we
need it for one of the purposes described above (for example, to process payroll, to send an invoice or chase payment.) We also retain the right to keep data that is needed to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Access to information
You may request details of personal information which we hold about you. If you would like a copy of the information held on you, email admin@chellington.org.
Right to complaint
Whilst we will always treat your information with respect and take all reasonable steps to keep that information safe, if you are concerned about any aspect of the way in which we control or process your data you may contact us on admin@chellington.org. This will not affect your right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office should you wish to do so.
Our contractual requirements to use your personal data
If you’re a Chellington Centre customer, it’s a requirement that we collect personal information from you so that we can enter into a contract with your company.
If you’re an employee (or volunteer) at The Chellington Centre customer, we have a legitimate interest in using your personal data so we have a record of who is involved at Chellington, this is our lawful basis for processing your data (which is why we don’t ask for your consent to process it.)
Other purposes for processing personal data
We don’t process your personal data for any other purpose than we’ve described here. We will never sell your personal data to other companies.
