Export your data and exercise the right to erasure
Cathedra Manager helps you comply with GDPR: export all your data (Art. 20 — portability) and anonymise people who exercise their right to be forgotten (Art. 17).
Export all your data (portability Art. 20)
- Accessible via the direct URL
/api/rgpd/export-portabilite(Administrator role required). - The JSON file contains 10 collections: parish information, contacts, donors, donations, intentions, sacraments, accounting entries, masses, events, users.
- No secrets (password hashes, tokens) are included in the export.
- Each export is recorded in the audit log.
Upon cancellation, a full export is automatically generated and made available before the account is closed.
Anonymise a contact (Art. 17)
- Open the contact's record.
- Click Delete permanently (from the trash) and choose the reason GDPR / Right to erasure.
- All personally identifiable data is erased (name, first name, email, phone, address, notes, tags).
- The record is retained as
[ANONYMISED-XXXXXX]to preserve links to associated sacraments and visits.
Anonymise a donor (Art. 17)
- From a donor record (Donations module), click Anonymise donor.
- Personal data is erased (name, first name, title, address, email, phone).
- Linked donations and tax receipts are kept intact — the law requires retaining fiscal records (10-year retention). Only the donor's identity is anonymised.
GDPR consent in forms
- Contacts: email consent (parish communications).
- Intentions and sacraments: Art. 9 consent (data revealing religious beliefs — mandatory).
- Donations with a new donor: email consent (sending the tax receipt).
These consents are timestamped and recorded in the audit log.
