5. Lawful bases

The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017 requires us to rely on one or more lawful bases to use your personal information. We consider the grounds listed below to be relevant:

(a) Where you have provided your consent for us to use your personal information in a certain way (for example, we may ask for your consent to use your personal information to send you our email newsletter, and we may ask for your explicit consent to collect special categories of your personal information).

(c) Where necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract (for example, if you apply to work for us).

(d) Where it is in your/ someone else’s vital interests (for example, in case of a medical emergency suffered by a beneficiary).

(e) Where there is a legitimate interest in us doing so.

The Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017 allows us to collect and process your personal information if it is reasonably necessary to achieve our or others’ legitimate interests (as long as that processing is fair, balanced and does not unduly impact your rights).

In broad terms, our “legitimate interests” means the interests of running SCI Ltd Guernsey as a commercial entity (for example, carrying out our community projects).

When we process your personal information to achieve such legitimate interests, we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws.

The processing is necessary for the reasons of public interest in the area of public health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Right to data portability – to the extent required by the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017, where we are processing your personal information (that you have provided to us) either (i) by relying on your consent or (ii) because such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contact, and in either case we are processing using automated means (i.e. with no human involvement), you may ask us to provide the personal information to you – or another service provider – in a machine-readable format.

11. Links and third parties

Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations.

13. Transferring your personal information outside of European Economic Area

Given that we are an organisation based in Guernsey and Jersey, we will normally only transfer your personal information within the European Economic Area (“EEA”), where all countries have the same level of data protection law as under the GDPR.

However, because we may sometimes use agencies and/or suppliers to process personal information on our behalf, it is possible that personal information we collect from you will be transferred to and stored in a location outside the EEA, for example the United States.

Please note that some countries outside of the EEA have a lower standard of protection for personal information, including lower security requirements and fewer rights for individuals. Where your personal information is transferred, stored and/or otherwise processed outside the EEA in a country that does not offer an equivalent standard of protection to the EEA, we will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the recipient implements appropriate safeguards (such as by entering into standard contractual clauses which have been approved by the European Commission) designed to protect your personal information and to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy. If you have any questions about the transfer of your personal information, please contact us using the details below.

Unfortunately, no transmission of your personal information over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure – however, once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try and prevent unauthorised access.
