Legal basis for processing any personal data

We will only collect and process personal data about you where we have lawful basis. There are a number of lawful reasons for us to collect and use your personal data. These include consent (where you have given consent), Vital interest (where processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person), contract (where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you), Public Function (where we have a statutory duty), Employment and Social Fields (mainly for staff and employees) and Protection against malpractice and mismanagement (in order to protect the public against mismanagement and failures in the services provided by anybody or association which falls under our remit).

Public Function

The processing is necessary for –

(a) the administration of justice;
(b) the exercise of any functions conferred on any person by or under any enactment;
(c) the exercise of any functions of the Crown, the States or any public authority; or
(d) the exercise of any other functions of a public nature with a legal basis in Jersey law to which the controller is subject and exercised in the public interest by any person.

Vital Interest

The processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of –

(a) the data subject or another person, in a case where consent cannot be given by or on behalf of the data subject, or the controller cannot reasonably be expected to obtain the consent of the data subject;

or

(b) another person, in a case where consent by or on behalf of the data subject has been unreasonably withheld.

Consent

Where possible, we will always ask for your consent for the Safeguarding Partnership Board to process your personal data for the purposes outlined. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing  [email protected] or writing to us (see last section for full contact details).

Contract

We have a lawful basis for processing if:

We have a contract with you and we need to process your personal data to comply with our obligations under the contract.

Employment and Social Fields

The processing is necessary for Employment, Social Security, Tax and other employment obligations on the controller.

Protection against Malpractice and Mismanagement

The processing –

(a) is in the substantial public interest;
(b) is necessary for the discharge of any function that is designed for protecting members of the public against –

(i) dishonesty, malpractice, or other seriously improper conduct by, or the unfitness or incompetence of, any person, or
(ii) mismanagement in the administration of, or failures in services provided by, any body or association; and

(c) in order not to prejudice the discharge of that function, is required to be carried out without the controller’s seeking the explicit consent of the data subject.

Data storage

Data is held in Jersey and the UK using different (multiple) secure servers. The Safeguarding Partnership Board does not store personal data outside the EEA. However, some companies that provide services to us run their services from outside the European Economic Area. We only let that happen if we are satisfied with their levels of security.
