4. The data controller

Our company processes personal data relating to our customers, our staff and others, and therefore is a data controller.

5. Roles and responsibilities

This policy applies to all staff employed by our company, and to external organisations or individuals working on our behalf. Staff who do not comply with this policy may face disciplinary action.

 

5.1 Management

The Managing Director of inotec UK has overall responsibility for ensuring that our company complies with all relevant data protection obligations

 

5.2 All staff

Staff are responsible for:

• Collecting, storing and processing any personal data in accordance with this policy
• Informing the company of any changes to their personal data, such as a change of address
• Contacting the Administration Director in the following circumstances:
  • With any questions about the operation of this policy, data protection law, retaining personal data or keeping personal data secure
  • If they have any concerns that this policy is not being followed
  • If they are unsure whether or not they have a lawful basis to use personal data in a particular way

• If they need to rely on or capture consent, draft a privacy notice, deal with data protection rights invoked by an individual, or transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area
• If there has been a data breach
• Whenever they are engaging in a new activity that may affect the privacy rights of individuals
• If they need help with any contracts or sharing personal data with third parties

 

6. Data protection principles

The GDPR is based on data protection principles that our company must comply with.

The principles say that personal data must be:

• Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
• Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
• Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it is processed
• Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
• Kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed
• Processed in a way that ensures it is appropriately secure

This policy sets out how the company aims to comply with these principles.

 

7. Collecting personal data

7.1 Lawfulness, fairness and transparency

We will only process personal data where we have one of 6 ‘lawful bases’ (legal reasons) to do so under data protection law:

• The data needs to be processed so that the company can fulfil a contract with the individual, or the individual has asked the company to take specific steps before entering into a contract

• The data needs to be processed so that the company can comply with a legal obligation
• The data needs to be processed to ensure the vital interests of the individual e.g. to protect someone’s life
• The data needs to be processed so that the company, can perform a task in the public interest, and carry out its legal obligations
• The data needs to be processed for the legitimate interests of the company or a third party (provided the individual’s rights and freedoms are not overridden)

• The individual has freely given clear consent

 

For special categories of personal data, we will also meet one of the special category conditions for processing which are set out in the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

 

Whenever we first collect personal data directly from individuals, we will provide them with the relevant information required by data protection law.

 

7.2 Limitation, minimisation and accuracy

We will only collect personal data for specified, explicit and legitimate reasons. We will explain these reasons to the individuals when we first collect their data.

If we want to use personal data for reasons other than those given when we first obtained it, we will inform the individuals concerned before we do so and seek consent where necessary.

Staff must only process personal data where it is necessary in order to do their jobs.

When staff no longer need the personal data they hold, they must ensure it is deleted or anonymised. This will be done in accordance with the company’s records management policy.

 

 

 

 

 

8. Sharing personal data

We will not normally share personal data with anyone else, but may do so where:

• There is an issue with a customer that puts the safety of our staff at risk

• We need to liaise with other agencies – we will seek consent as necessary before doing this
• Our suppliers or contractors need data to enable us to provide services to our customers and or staff  – for example, Pension and Healthcare Providers.

When doing this, we will:

• • Only appoint suppliers or contractors which can provide sufficient guarantees that they comply with data protection law
  • Establish a data sharing agreement with the supplier or contractor, either in the contract or as a standalone agreement, to ensure the fair and lawful processing of any personal data we share
  • Only share data that the supplier or contractor needs to carry out their service, and information necessary to keep them safe while working with us

We will also share personal data with law enforcement and government bodies where we are legally required to do so, including for:

• The prevention or detection of crime and/or fraud
• The apprehension or prosecution of offenders
• The assessment or collection of tax owed to HMRC
• In connection with legal proceedings

We may also share personal data with emergency services and local authorities to help them to respond to an emergency situation that affects any of our staff.

Where we transfer personal data to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area, we will do so in accordance with data protection law.

 

 

 

9. Subject access requests and other rights of individuals

9.1 Subject access requests

Individuals have a right to make a ‘subject access request’ to gain access to personal information that the company holds about them. This includes:

• Confirmation that their personal data is being processed
• Access to a copy of the data
• The purposes of the data processing
• The categories of personal data concerned
• Who the data has been, or will be, shared with
• How long the data will be stored for, or if this isn’t possible, the criteria used to determine this period
• The source of the data, if not the individual
• Whether any automated decision-making is being applied to their data, and what the significance and consequences of this might be for the individual

Subject access requests must be submitted in writing, either by letter, email or fax to the DPO. They should include:

• Name of individual
• Correspondence address
• Contact number and email address
• Details of the information requested

If staff receive a subject access request they must immediately forward it to the Administration Director of inotec UK.

 

9.2 Responding to subject access requests

When responding to requests, we:

• May ask the individual to provide 2 forms of identification
• May contact the individual via phone to confirm the request was made
• Will respond without delay and within 1 month of receipt of the request
• Will provide the information free of charge
• May tell the individual we will comply within 3 months of receipt of the request, where a request is complex or numerous. We will inform the individual of this within 1 month, and explain why the extension is necessary

 

If the request is unfounded or excessive, we may refuse to act on it, or charge a reasonable fee which takes into account administrative costs.

A request will be deemed to be unfounded or excessive if it is repetitive, or asks for further copies of the same information.

When we refuse a request, we will tell the individual why, and tell them they have the right to complain to the ICO.

9.3 Other data protection rights of the individual

In addition to the right to make a subject access request (see above), and to receive information when we are collecting their data about how we use and process it (see section 7), individuals also have the right to:

• Withdraw their consent to processing at any time
• Ask us to rectify, erase or restrict processing of their personal data, or object to the processing of it (in certain circumstances)
• Prevent use of their personal data for direct marketing
• Challenge processing which has been justified on the basis of public interest
• Request a copy of agreements under which their personal data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area
• Object to decisions based solely on automated decision making or profiling (decisions taken with no human involvement, that might negatively affect them)
• Prevent processing that is likely to cause damage or distress
• Be notified of a data breach in certain circumstances
• Make a complaint to the ICO
• Ask for their personal data to be transferred to a third party in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (in certain circumstances)

Individuals should submit any request to exercise these rights to the Administration Director. If staff receive such a request, they must immediately forward it to the Administration Director.

 

10. Data security and storage of records

We will protect personal data and keep it safe from unauthorised or unlawful access, alteration, processing or disclosure, and against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction or damage.

In particular:

• Paper-based records and portable electronic devices, such as laptops and hard drives that contain personal data are to be kept under lock and key when not in use
• Papers containing confidential personal data must not be left on office desks, on staffroom tables, pinned to notice/display boards, or left anywhere else where there is general access
• Where personal information needs to be taken off site, staff must take all reasonable steps to ensure it’s security in transit and at home
• Passwords that are at least 8 characters long containing letters and numbers are used to access computers, laptops and other electronic devices. Staff are reminded to change their passwords at regular intervals
• Encryption software is used to protect all portable devices and removable media, such as laptops and USB devices
• Staff who store personal information on their personal devices are expected to follow the same security procedures as for company-owned equipment
• Where we need to share personal data with a third party, we carry out due diligence and take reasonable steps to ensure it is stored securely and adequately protected

11. Disposal of records

Personal data that is no longer needed will be disposed of securely. Personal data that has become inaccurate or out of date will also be disposed of securely, where we cannot or do not need to rectify or update it.

For example, we will shred or incinerate paper-based records, and overwrite or delete electronic files. We may also use a third party to safely dispose of records on the school’s behalf. If we do so, we will require the third party to provide sufficient guarantees that it complies with data protection law.

12. Personal data breaches

The company will make all reasonable endeavours to ensure that there are no personal data breaches.

In the unlikely event of a suspected data breach, we will follow the procedure set out in appendix 1.

When appropriate, we will report the data breach to the ICO within 72 hours. Such breaches in a company context may include, but are not limited to:

• A non-anonymised dataset being made available to an unauthorised third party
• The theft of a company laptop containing non-encrypted personal data about customers

13. Training

All staff are provided with data protection training as part of their induction process.

Data protection will also form part of continuing professional development, where changes to legislation, guidance or the company’s processes make it necessary.

14. Monitoring arrangements

The Administration Director is responsible for monitoring and reviewing this policy.

This policy will be reviewed and updated if necessary when the Data Protection Bill receives royal assent and becomes law (as the Data Protection Act 2018) – if any changes are made to the bill that affect our company’s practice. Otherwise, or from then on, this policy will be reviewed every 2 years.
