All Diocesan services, vicariates, parishes, departments and agencies store, collect, use and process personal information about the people they interact with for a variety of purposes. This can include information about trustees, officers, parishioners, volunteers, clergy, religious, employees, contractors, suppliers and other third parties. The Diocese must therefore comply with laws that govern the way data is processed.
