Policy statement

Everyone has rights with regard to the way in which their personal data is handled. During the course of our activities, we will collect, store and process personal data about our staff, customers, suppliers and other third parties, and we recognise that the correct and lawful treatment of this data will maintain confidence in the organisation and will provide for successful business operations.

Data users are obliged to comply with this policy when processing personal data on our behalf. Any breach of this policy may result in disciplinary action.

About this policy

The types of personal data that we may be required to handle include information about current, past and prospective staff, [suppliers], [customers], [OTHER] and others that we communicate with. The personal data, which may be held on paper or on a computer or other media, is subject to certain legal safeguards specified in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other regulations.

This policy and any other documents referred to in it sets out the basis on which we will process any personal data we collect from data subjects, or that is provided to us by data subjects or other sources.

This policy does not form part of any employee's contract of employment and may be amended at any time.

This policy sets out rules on data protection and the legal conditions that must be satisfied when we obtain, handle, process, transfer and store personal data.

Definition of data protection terms

• Data is information which is stored electronically, on a computer, or in certain paper-based filing systems.
• Data subjects for the purpose of this policy include all living individuals about whom we hold personal data. A data subject need not be a UK national or resident. All data subjects have legal rights in relation to their personal information.
• Personal data means data relating to a living individual who can be identified from that data (or from that data and other information in our possession). Personal data can be factual (for example, a name, address or date of birth) or it can be an opinion about that person, their actions and behaviour.
• Data controllers are the people who or organisations which determine the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data is processed. They are responsible for establishing practices and policies in line with the GDPR. We are the data controller of all personal data used in our business for our own commercial purposes.
• Data users are those of our employees whose work involves processing personal data. Data users must protect the data they handle in accordance with this data protection policy and any applicable data security procedures at all times.
• Data processors include any person or organisation that is not a data user that processes personal data on our behalf and on our instructions. Employees of data controllers are excluded from this definition but it could include suppliers which handle personal data on our behalf.
• Processing is any activity that involves the use of the data. It includes obtaining, recording or holding the data, or carrying out any operation or set of operations on the data including organising, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring personal data to third parties.
• Sensitive personal data means information about a person's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or condition or sexual life, or about the commission of, or proceedings for, any offence committed or alleged to have been committed by that person, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in such proceedings, genetic data and biometric data where processed to uniquely identify a person (for example a photo in an electronic passport). Sensitive personal data can only be processed under strict conditions, including a condition requiring the express permission of the person concerned.

Data protection principles

Anyone processing personal data must comply with the principles of data protection. These provide that personal data must be:

• Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals.
• Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes (further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes).
• Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for relation to the purposes for which they are processed (Data Minimisation).
• Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purpose for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay.
• Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals.
• processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

The data controller is responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with these principles.

Fair and lawful processing

The GDPR is not intended to prevent the processing of personal data, but to ensure that it is done fairly and without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject.

For personal data to be processed lawfully, they must be processed on the basis of one of the legal grounds set out in the GDPR. These include, among other things, the data subject's consent to the processing, or that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject, for the compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject, or for the legitimate interest of the data controller or the party to whom the data is disclosed. When sensitive personal data is being processed, additional conditions must be met. When processing personal data as data controllers in the course of our business, we will ensure that those requirements are met.

SPECIFIED, EXPLICIT AND LEGITIMATE PURPOSES

In the course of our business, we may collect and process the personal data set out in the Schedule. This may include data we receive directly from a data subject (for example, by completing forms or by corresponding with us by mail, phone, email or otherwise) and data we receive from other sources (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, credit reference agencies and others).

We will only process personal data for the specific purposes set out in the Schedule or for any other purposes specifically permitted by the GDPR. We will notify those purposes to the data subject when we first collect the data or as soon as possible thereafter.

Notifying data subjects

If we collect personal data directly from data subjects, we will inform them about their rights under the GDPR including:

• The purpose or purposes for which we intend to process that personal data and the legal basis for the processing.
• The types of third parties, if any, with which we will share or to which we will disclose that personal data.
• The means, if any, with which data subjects can limit our use and disclosure of their personal data including the right to object to processing.
• The right of subject access.
• The right to be forgotten.
• The right to withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent.
• The right to rectification if data is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Rights related to automated decision making and profiling.

If we receive personal data about a data subject from other sources, we will provide the data subject with this information as soon as possible thereafter.

We will also inform data subjects whose personal data we process that we are the data controller with regard to that data.

DATA MINIMISATION

We will only collect personal data to the extent that it is required for the specific purpose notified to the data subject.

Accurate data

We will ensure that the personal data we hold is accurate and kept up to date. We will check the accuracy of any personal data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or out-of-date data.

storage limitation

We will not keep personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which they were collected. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy, or erase from our systems, all data which is no longer required.

Processing in line with data subject's rights

We will process all personal data in line with data subjects' rights, in particular, their right to:

• Request access to any data held about them by a data controller (see also clause 15).
• Object to processing, including in particular to prevent the processing of their data for direct marketing purposes.
• Ask to have inaccurate data amended (see also clause 9).
• Request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
• Prevent processing that is likely to cause damage or distress to themselves or anyone else.
• Obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes (where that right applies)

Data security

We will take appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data. If there is a data security breach which will result in a risk to the data subject we will report that breach to the regulator without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

We will put in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of all personal data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. Personal data will only be transferred to a data processor if he agrees to comply with those procedures and policies, or if he puts in place adequate measures himself.

We will maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data, defined as follows:

• Confidentiality means that only people who are authorised to use the data can access it.
• Integrity means that personal data should be accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.
• Availability means that authorised users should be able to access the data if they need it for authorised purposes. Personal data should therefore be stored on our central computer system instead of individual PCs.

Security procedures include:

• Entry controls. Any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas should be reported.
• Secure lockable desks and cupboards. Desks and cupboards should be kept locked if they hold confidential information of any kind. (Personal information is always considered confidential.)
• Methods of disposal. Paper documents should be shredded. Digital storage devices should be physically destroyed when they are no longer required.
• Equipment. Data users must ensure that individual monitors do not show confidential information to passers-by and that they log off from their PC when it is left unattended.

Transferring personal data to a country outside the EEA

We will only transfer any personal data we hold to a country outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") where the conditions of transfer provided for in the GDPR apply.It is our usual practice not to transfer data out of the EEA.

Disclosure and sharing of personal information

We may share personal data we hold with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

We may also disclose personal data we hold to third parties:

• In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose personal data we hold to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
• If we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data we hold will be one of the transferred assets.

If we are under a duty to disclose or share a data subject's personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply any contract with the data subject or other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety of our employees, customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We may also share personal data we hold with selected third parties for the purposes set out in the Schedule.

Dealing with subject access requests

Data subjects must make a formal request for information we hold about them. This must be made in writing. Employees who receive a written request should forward it to their line manager immediately.

When receiving telephone enquiries, we will only disclose personal data we hold on our systems if the following conditions are met:

• We will check the caller's identity to make sure that information is only given to a person who is entitled to it.
• We will suggest that the caller put their request in writing if we are not sure about the caller’s identity and where their identity cannot be checked.

Our employees will refer a request to their line manager for assistance in difficult situations. Employees should not be bullied into disclosing personal information.

Changes to this policy

We reserve the right to change this policy at any time. Where appropriate, we will notify data subjects of those changes by mail or email.
