This Privacy Notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you during and after your relationship with us under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 (“DPJL”).

The Jersey Chamber is a "Data Controller", which means we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information.

We are required under data protection legislation to notify you of the information contained in this Privacy Notice.

The Jersey Chamber is registered with the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner (“JOIC”) Registration No. 15870.

We will comply with data protection law, the principles of which says that the personal information we hold about you must be:-

1.       Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.

2.       Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way incompatible with those purposes.

3.       Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.

4.       Accurate and kept up to date.

5.       Kept your data only as long as necessary for the purposes we collected it.

6.       Kept securely.

We will also only transfer your information when it is safe to do so, when necessary, and your information is protected in the same way that we protect it.

The Jersey Chamber is accountable to you and the authorities for showing compliance with the data protection laws and demonstrating how we are compliant.

We have appointed a DPM to oversee compliance with this Privacy Notice.

 If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or how we handle your personal information, contact the DPM at [email protected].

You have the right to make a complaint to the JOIC at any time.

Contact details for these are outlined at the bottom of this Privacy Notice.

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

To explain this to you, we will list our different services when we collect or use additional information about you.

We collect personal information about you when you contact us, enquire about our products and services, or provide us with your data for another specific purpose.

What information do we collect about you?

The Jersey Chamber does not collect special category data in relation to their membership.

We will only use your personal information when the Law allows us to.

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

1. You have entered into a contract with us to provide you with a service. An example of this would be when you register to become a member of the Jersey Chamber.
2. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. An example of this is when we send you information about seminars, news, promotional opportunities, and articles we know would be of interest.

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

1. Where you have given your Consent to contact you for a specific purpose.
2. We will use Legitimate Interest when our reasons for processing your data are for our business interest, and that processing will not override your rights and freedoms. An example of this is the information we send you about events, etc.
3. Processing is necessary for the performance of a legal obligation, where we must process your data by Law.
4. In an emergency, it is in your Vital Interest to share your information when we have it recorded.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes 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 explain the legal basis that allows us to do so.

We may, on occasion, pass your Personal Information to an organisation outside of the Jersey Chamber exclusively to process on our behalf; these organisations are called Data Processors. 

We require 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, we may disclose your Personal Information to meet legal obligations, regulations, or valid legal requests from the Courts or Law Enforcement.

The personal data 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 outside the EEA that work for either one of our service providers or us.

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

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorised way. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to Colleagues, Agents, Contractors and other third parties on a need-to-know basis.

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 Manager (“DPM”).

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

All data is retained securely and only used for the purposes set out in the Law. Data is retained to comply with our statutory obligations and in accordance with our retention schedule.  If you would like a copy of our retention schedule, please get in touch with our DPM at [email protected].

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data and the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your data. The purposes for which we process your 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 DPM 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.

The personal information we hold about you must be accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your 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 right 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 right enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected.
• Request the erasure of your personal information. This right enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue 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 processing your personal information where we rely on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party). There is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object to processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This right 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.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request the erasure of your personal information, object to the processing or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, contact our DPM at [email protected].

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

Use the Data Subject Access Request form, which is available on our Cookie Banner, or click here to access our online portal. If you have any questions about this process or any of your rights, contact our DPM at  [email protected].

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or exercise any of your other rights).

We will respond without undue delay but within the four weeks allowed by law upon satisfactory verification of your identity. We are allowed up to a further eight weeks in certain circumstances. If we need to extend this time, we will inform you as soon as possible.

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time.

To withdraw your consent, contact our DPM at [email protected].

Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in Law.

We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates.

We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal information or requesting you to confirm the accuracy of the information we hold on you.

We want the chance to resolve any complaints you have about how we process your information. You have the right to complain to the JOIC about how we have used your data.
