The Briery, Ilkley, which is run by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion (registered charity number 1038483) is the data controller (contact details above).  This means we decide how your personal data is processed and for what purposes.

     3. How do we process your personal data?

We comply with our obligations under the “GDPR” by keeping personal data up to date; by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.
