C.   The purpose of this policy is to help us achieve our data protection and data security aims by:

 

1.   notifying our staff of the types of personal information that we may hold about them, our customers, suppliers and other third parties and what we do with that information;

 

2.   setting out the rules on data protection and the legal conditions that must be satisfied when we collect, receive, handle, process, transfer and store personal data and ensuring staff understand our rules and the legal standards; and

 

3.   clarifying the responsibilities and duties of staff in respect of data protection and data security.

D.   This is a statement of policy only and does not form part of your contract of employment. We may amend this policy at any time, in our absolute discretion.

E.   For the purposes of this policy:

 

1.   Criminal records data means information about an individual's criminal convictions and offences, and information relating to criminal allegations and proceedings.

 

2.   Data protection laws means all applicable laws relating to the processing of Personal Data, including, for the period during which it is in force, the UK General Data Protection Regulation.

 

3.   Data subject means the individual to whom the personal data relates.

 

4.   Personal data means any information that relates to an individual who can be identified from that information.

Data protection principles

 

1.    Staff whose work involves using personal data relating to Staff or others must comply with this policy and with the following data protection principles which require that personal information is:

 

a.   processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. We must always have a lawful basis to process personal data, as set out in the data protection laws. Personal data may be processed as necessary to perform a contract with the data subject, to comply with a legal obligation which the data controller is the subject of, or for the legitimate interest of the data controller or the party to whom the data is disclosed. The data subject must be told who controls the information (us), the purpose(s) for which we are processing the information and to whom it may be disclosed.

 

b.   collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes. Personal data must not be collected for one purpose and then used for another. If we want to change the way we use personal data, we must first tell the data subject.

 

c.   processed only where it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of processing. We will only collect personal data to the extent required for the specific purpose notified to the data subject.

 

d.   accurate and the Employer takes all reasonable steps to ensure that information that is inaccurate is rectified or deleted without delay. Checks to personal data will be made when collected and regular checks must be made afterwards. We will make reasonable efforts to rectify or erase inaccurate information.

 

e.   kept only for the period necessary for processing. Information will not be kept longer than it is needed and we will take all reasonable steps to delete information when we no longer need it.

Who is responsible for data protection and data security?

4.    All Staff have personal responsibility to ensure compliance with this policy, to handle all personal data consistently with the principles set out here and to ensure that measures are taken to protect the data security. Managers have special responsibility for leading by example and monitoring and enforcing compliance. The Data Protection Officer must be notified if this policy has not been followed, or if it is suspected this policy has not been followed, as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

5.    Any breach of this policy will be taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. Significant or deliberate breaches, such as accessing Staff or customer personal data without authorisation or a legitimate reason to do so, may constitute gross misconduct and could lead to dismissal without notice.

Data impact assessments

 

32.         Some of the processing that the Employer carries out may result in risks to privacy.

 

33.         Where processing would result in a high risk to Staff rights and freedoms, the Employer will carry out a data protection impact assessment to determine the necessity and proportionality of processing.

Data breaches
