European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Effective May 25, 2018, if you are a legal resident of the European Union / European Economic Area, you will be required to give your consent to the Passionists, even if you have already communicated with us. The Passionists have provided an opt-in here, which will be recorded in our database as consent given freely.
From the Website of the National Catholic Development Conference (NCDC):
According to OneTrust, the primary concerns for nonprofits regarding the GDPR are acknowledging the rights, preferences, and consent of their supporters and donors.
“The enactment of GDPR reiterates the four conditions that need to be present in order for consent from supporters to be valid:
- Data must be freely given: The individual must consent without force, and they don’t have to give unnecessary details in order to donate or participate in an event
- Data submission must be informed: Communication must be very clear with regard to what is being asked of them, and how they opt in or out
- Data consent must be specific: An individual’s consent for one specific occasion can’t be applied to future instances, and can’t be changed later without further approval
- Data consent must depend upon a positive action to indicate: An individual must tick a box, click “yes,” or complete a form to indicate consent. Absence of action isn’t allowed.
