COVID-19 Privacy Notice

Online List of Clergy, Staff and Visitors to Church buildings

This notice explains how information about you will be used temporarily by the Vicar and the Parochial Church Council of the parish of Burwell with Reach during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis so we can take your booking and at the same time put in place a list of clergy, staff and visitors to the church building/s, as requested by the Government in support of NHS Test and Trace.  

1. Who we are

The Vicar and the Parochial Church Council of the parish of Burwell with Reach are the data controllers. This means we decide how your personal data is used and why. 

2. The information we collect about you and why we need it

We collect your data in order to process your booking of a visit to St Mary’s Church, Burwell or St Etheldreda and the Holy Trinity Church, Reach.  However, we are also collecting your data for the purpose of supporting NHS Test and Trace, as requested by the Government.

Although we may have your contact details already the Covid-19 pandemic has created a unique situation and additional reasons for us to collect the name and contact telephone number of all clergy, staff and visitors who use/visit our church building/s in order to support NHS Test and Trace. 

This is specifically in relation to contact tracing, which is the process of identifying, assessing, and managing people who have been exposed to a disease to prevent onward transmission and the investigation of local outbreaks. 

In summary, Test and Trace:

• provides testing for anyone who has symptoms of coronavirus to find out if they have the virus;
• gets in touch with anyone who has had a positive test result to help them share information about any close recent contacts they have had; and
• alerts those contacts, where necessary, and notifies them they need to self-isolate to help stop the spread of the virus.

This is voluntary, and you can opt out of letting us share your details with NHS Test and Trace.  We will still accept your booking.

You will give us your explicit consent by completing the on-line booking and opting in/indicating “Yes” where requested, or “No” if you do not want us to share your data with Test and Trace.

You can withdraw your consent at any time after giving your details by letting us know you no longer want us to keep or share your personal data for the  purpose of Test and Trace, however, once we have given your details to Test and Trace we will no longer be able to prevent processing.  To contact us, please see our contact details at 7. below.  We will continue to process your booking data, unless told otherwise.
