Introduction

Stockwell Safety needs to gather and use certain information about individuals. These can include customers, students, suppliers, business contacts, associates and other people the organisation has a relationship with or may need to contact. This policy describes how this personal data must be collected, handled and stored to meet the company’s data protection standards — and to comply with the law.

Why this policy exists

This data protection policy ensures Stockwell Safety:

1. Complies with data protection law and follows good practice
2. Protects the rights of associates, customers, students and partners
3. Is open about how it stores and processes individuals’ data
4. Protects itself from the risks of a data breach

Data protection law

The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organisations must collect, handle and store personal information.These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully.The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. These say that personal data must:

1. Be processed fairly and lawfully
2. Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes
3. Be adequate, relevant and not excessive
4. Be accurate and kept up to date
5. Not be held for any longer than necessary
6. Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
7. Be protected in appropriate ways
8. Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or territory also ensures an adequate level of protection

People, risks and responsibilities

This policy applies to:

1. All partners and associates of Stockwell Safety
2. All contractors, suppliers and other people working on behalf of Stockwell Safety
3. All learners who have engaged with Stockwell Safey

It applies to all data that the company holds relating to identifiable individuals, even if that information technically falls outside of the Data Protection Act 1998. This can include:

1. Names of individuals
2. Postal addresses
3. Email addresses
4. Telephone numbers
5. any other information relating to individuals

This policy helps to protect from some very real data security risks, including:

1. Breaches of confidentiality. For instance, information being given out inappropriately.
2. Failing to offer choice. For instance, all individuals should be free to choose how the company uses data relating to them.
3. Reputational damage. For instance, the company could suffer if hackers successfully gained access to sensitive data.

Everyone who works for or with Stockwell Safety has some responsibility for ensuring data is collected, stored and handled appropriately. Each person that handles personal data must ensure that it is handled and processed in line with this policy and data protection principles.

The only people able to access data covered by this policy should be those who need it for their work. Data should not be shared informally. Strong passwords must be used and they should never be shared. Personal data should not be disclosed to unauthorised people, either within the company or externally. Data should be regularly reviewed and updated if it is found to be out of date. If no longer required, it should be deleted and disposed of.

Data storage

1. When data is stored on paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised people cannot see it. These guidelines also apply to data that is usually stored electronically but has been printed out for some reason.
2. When not required, the paper or files should be kept in a locked drawer or filing cabinet.
3. Data printouts should be shredded and disposed of securely when no longer required.
4. When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorised access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts:
5. If data is stored on removable media (like a CD or DVD), these should be kept locked away securely when not being used.
6. Data should only be stored on designated drives and servers, and should only be uploaded to an approved cloud computing services.
7. Servers containing personal data should be sited in a secure location, away from general office space.
8. Data should be backed up frequently. Those backups should be tested regularly, in line with the company’s standard backup procedures.
9. All servers and computers containing data should be protected by approved security software and a firewall.

Data use

Personal data is of no value to unless the business can make use of it. However, it is when personal data is accessed and used that it can be at the greatest risk of loss, corruption or theft.

1. When working with personal data, employees should ensure the screens of their computers are always locked when left unattended.
2. Personal data should not be shared informally.
3. Personal data should never be transferred outside of the European Economic Area.

Data accuracy

The law requires to take reasonable steps to ensure data is kept accurate and up to date. The more important it is that the personal data is accurate, the greater the effort should put into ensuring its accuracy. Data will be held in as few places as necessary. Data should be updated as inaccuracies are discovered. For instance, if a customer can no longer be reached on their stored telephone number, it should be removed from the database.

Subject access requests

All individuals who are the subject of personal data held by are entitled to:

1. Ask what information the company holds about them and why.
2. Ask how to gain access to it.
3. Be informed how to keep it up to date.
4. Be informed how the company is meeting its data protection obligations.

If an individual contacts the company requesting this information, this is called a subject access request. Subject access requests from individuals should be made by email, addressed to info@stockwellsafety.com. Individuals will be charged £10 per subject access request. Stockwell Safety will aim to provide the relevant data within 14 days. Stockwell Safety will always verify the identity of anyone making a subject access request before handing over any information.

Disclosing data for other reasons

In certain circumstances, the Data Protection Act allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without the consent of the data subject. Under these circumstances, Stockwell Safety will disclose requested data. However, the we will ensure the request is legitimate, seeking assistance from legal advisers where necessary.

Providing information

Stockwell Safety aims to ensure that individuals are aware that their data is being processed, and that they understand:

1. How the data is being used
2. How to exercise their rights
