What Special Category Data we collect about you?

On occasions when we collect what is called Special Category data we will always have either a clear legal basis to process this or your explicit consent.  If we rely on your explicit consent, you can withdraw this at any time by contacting our DPO at: <ahref="mailto:DPO@channelislands.coop">DPO@channelislands.coop.

Special Category data is any information relating to your health, gender, race, sexual orientation, sex life, genetic or biometric data etc.

An example of this processing would be when you use one of our pharmacies for any prescribed medication.  We collect your information and medication type from that prescription.  This information is then stored very safely in our computer system.  We have a legal obligation to collect this information and to store it. 

How We Will Use Information About You?

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to, this is called a legal basis (highlighted in bold) for processing your information (data).

Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to comply with a legal obligation. This would be collecting your social security number or medication information when you use our Pharmacy, your identification data (passport, driving license etc.) when using our money services.
• Where you have entered into a contract with us to provide you with a service.  This would be the case when you become a member of the society, book a holiday with us, engage one of our funeral care providers or use one of our money services.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. An example of this is the use of CCTV in all our stores.  This is to protect you as our customer, protect the safety of our employees, prevent and detect crime and for internal investigations for health and safety issues.

We may also use your personal information in the following situations, which are likely to be rare:

• Where you have given you consent to contact you for a specific purpose.
• In an emergency and it is in your vital interest that we share your information, when we have it recorded.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Data Sharing

We may on occasions pass your Personal Information to organisation outside of the Co-op exclusively to process on our behalf, these organisations are called Third Parties. 

The Co-op requires these parties to agree to process this information based on our instructions and requirements consistent with this Privacy Notice.

We do not pass on information gained from your engagement with us without a clear legal basis for doing so. However, the Co-op may disclose your Personal Information to meet legal obligations, regulations, or valid governmental request such as a Police request for CCTV.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").

It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers.

If we do this, we ensure that your privacy rights are respected in line with this Policy and the same protection is given to your personal information as laid down by the DPJL and DPGL.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, altered or disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorised way,.

They will only process your personal information on our strict instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Details of these measures may be obtained from our Data Protection Officer (DPO).

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

You can request our Data Retention Schedule from our DPO if required. 

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.

Rights of Access, Correction, Erasure, and Restriction

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current.

Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
• Object to processingof your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
