The Trust conducts its activities through both its central team and the three Camp Groups listed below:

• Lymington Rushmore holidays
• Gloddaeth holidays
• LDN holidays

The Trust is a single legal entity, both a charity (number 1066751) and a limited company (number 3473879). The holiday camps listed above are part of this legal entity, and are subject to the single Data Controller listed above.

What data does the Data Controller listed above process? He or she will process some or all of the following where necessary to perform his or her tasks:

• Names, titles, and aliases, photographs and video images;
• Contact details such as telephone numbers, addresses, and email addresses;
• Where they are relevant to our mission, or where you provide them to us, we may process demographic information such as gender, age, date of birth, marital status, nationality, education/work histories, academic/professional qualifications, hobbies, family composition, and dependants;
• Where you make donations or pay for activities, financial identifiers such as bank account numbers, payment card numbers, and payment/transaction identifiers;
• The data we process is likely to contain special category personal data because, our mission is to provide Christian activity holidays for children and young people. The fact that we process your data at all may be suggestive of your religious beliefs. Where you provide this information, we may also process other categories of special category personal data e.g. details of injuries, medication/treatment received and safeguarding data, which is required to provide our activity holidays.

How do we process your personal data?

The Data Controller will comply with his or her legal obligations to keep personal data up to date; to store and destroy it securely; to not collect or retain excessive amounts of data; to keep personal data secure, and to protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and to ensure that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

We use your personal data for some or all of the following purposes:

• To enable us to meet all legal and statutory obligations;
• To carry out comprehensive safeguarding procedures (including due diligence and complaints handling) in accordance with best safeguarding practice from time to time with the aim of ensuring that all children and adults-at-risk are provided with safe environments;
• To administer membership records;
• To fundraise and promote the interests of the Trust and its Camp Groups;
• To maintain our own accounts and records;
• To process a donation that you have made (including Gift Aid information);

• To enable us to provide a voluntary service for the benefit of the public in a particular geographical area as specified in our charitable aims and articles;

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Most of our data is processed because it is necessary for our legitimate interests, or the legitimate interests of a third party. An example of this would be our safeguarding work to protect children and adults at risk. We will always take into account your interests, rights and freedoms.

Some of our processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. For example, we are required to seek DBS check on all our staff and volunteers, and to publish certain amalgamated data in our annual accounts.

We may also process data if it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps to enter into a contract. An example of this would be processing your data in connection with signing up for one of our holiday camps.

Where one of these legal bases is not appropriate, we may first obtain your consent to that use.

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential. It will only be shared with third parties where it is necessary for the performance of our tasks or where you first give us your prior consent. It is likely that we will need to share your data (but only where necessary) with our agents, service providers and contractors. For example, we may ask a commercial provider to send out newsletters on our behalf, or to provide a service or activity on camp;

How long do we keep your personal data?

We will keep some records permanently if we are legally required to do so. We may keep some other records for an extended period of time. For example, it is current best practice to keep financial records for a minimum period of 7 years to support HMRC audits. In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it. This means that we may delete it when it is no longer needed.
