Data Breach Policy

In the event that a Data Breach has been discovered the Church trustees will be notified immediately. A Data Breach, confirmed or suspected, is any incident that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of systems or data either accidentally or deliberately. Such incidents could include:

Loss or theft of confidential or sensitive data or equipment on which such data is stored (e.g. loss of laptop, USB stick, iPad/tablet device, or paper record).

Equipment theft or failure.

Unauthorised use of, access to or modification of data or information systems.

Attempts (failed or successful) to gain unauthorised access to information or IT system(s).

Unauthorised disclosure of sensitive/confidential data.

Website defacement.

Hacking attack.

The Church trustees will investigate the breach and determine any corrective measures that need to be implemented, with appropriate levels of urgency. The Church trustees will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office if it is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals e.g. if it could result in discrimination, damage to reputation, financial loss, loss of confidentiality or any other significant economic or social disadvantage. The Church trustees would also notify those directly concerned if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

The Church trustees will maintain a record of all Data Breaches.

The Church may amend this Policy from time to time to ensure compliance with changes or amendments to the law of the UK. Any amended version will be available on our website at https://prestonvineyard.church. We suggest that you visit our website regularly to keep up to date with any changes.
