6.0 Your Rights regarding Data supplied via GIVE Website
 
All volunteers who apply to participate as a volunteer on the GIVE programmes either first time or for a second or subsequent year shall complete a Volunteer Application Form in respect of that year. This form may be downloaded from GIVE’s website. This information shall be retained by GIVE for a period of up to seven years from the expiration of the volunteer’s participation as a volunteer on the GIVE programme.

Other information, which is not necessary to maintain this association with GIVE, shall be deleted from the volunteer’s file within twelve months of the end of their participation on the GIVE programme. Paper documents containing such information shall be shredded or otherwise destroyed.

Rights for individuals under the GDPR

Any data subject (individual) may apply in writing to the Data Protection Officer, Michael Griffin, requesting access to the information which GIVE may hold about them. The Data subject shall be provided with their data in accordance with such request within 21 days of receiving the request. Sensitive personal information held by GIVE will be disclosed to the subject only in writing. In exceptional circumstances and only when the Data Protection Officer is satisfied that he/she has verified the identity of a subject caller on the telephone may contact details (Name, Address, Telephone and email address) be disclosed to the subject over the telephone.

A data subject may request the Data Protection Officer, Mr. Michael Griffin, to have inaccuracies corrected in their data. Where the request is for the deletion of a record rather than the correction of an inaccuracy the Data Protection Officer shall consult with the members of GIVE management team. In cases where the Data Protection Officer is satisfied that the purpose for which such record was first obtained no longer exists the record shall be deleted.

A data subject may object to having their data processed for direct-marketing purposes and the subject’s wishes in this respect shall be upheld by GIVE.
 
Breach of Data

As soon as a data subject or a member of GIVE Management team or Board of Directors becomes aware that there may have been a breach of an individual’s personal data they shall immediately report it to the Data Protection Officer Mr. Michael Griffin.  The Data Protection Officer shall report the breach to the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) within 72 hours. Such a breach may be accidental or it may be deliberate and corrective action shall be taken immediately by the Data Protection Officer to restore the security of the data. Where such breach can bring harm to an individual – such as identity theft or breach of confidentiality – the Data Protection Officer shall also report it to the individual (s) concerned.
