DATA PROTECTION
The Data Protection Act 1998 is designed to protect personal data about living individuals (Data Subjects). This means that any person or organisation who handles personal data must comply with the requirements of the Act. Such a person or organisation is called a Data Controller.
What is personal data?
Personal data is information about a living individual from which that person can be identified. That information can exist in a variety of formats, for example on a computer or in a paper filing system.
What principles apply to the collection of personal data?
There are eight governing priniciples that must be followed in relation to the processing of data about individuals:
1. We must process data fairly and lawfully.
2. We must collect and process data for only one of more specified purposes. In essence, we must not collect data for one reason and then use is for something else.
3. The data we hold must be adequate for its purpose or purposes but not excessive or irrelevant.
4. Any data we hold must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date.
5. We must not keep date for longer than necessary.
6. We must process data in accordance with the rights of the Data Subject under the Act.
7. We must ensure data is kept securely and we must guard against its accidental loss.
8. We must not transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area unless the country receiving it has an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
All personal data provided by you is treated strictly in accordance with the terms of the Data Protection Act. This means that confidentiality will be protected and that appropriate security measures are taken to prevent unauthorised disclosure.
