Data Protection Act 1998
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 principles that must be followed in relation to the processing of data about individuals.
- We must process data fairly and lawfully.
- We must collect and process data for a specified purpose. In essence, we cannot collect data for one reason and then use it for something else.
- The data we hold must be adequate for its purpose but not excessive or irrelevant.
- Any data we hold must be accurate and kept up-to-date.
- We must not keep data for longer than necessary.
- We must process data in accordance with the rights of the Data Subject under the Act.
- We must ensure data is kept securely and must guard against its accidental loss.
- 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.
How we use your data?
All personal data provided by you is treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act. This means that confidentiality will be protected and that appropriate security measures are taken to prevent unauthorised disclosure.
Why does WEC UK hold data about people?
We need to collect data for a variety of reasons, including for basic functions such as being able to contact you. There are legal or tax reasons, such as having to hold details of donations through the Gift Aid scheme.
We will not disclose your personal data to any third party without your express consent, except where we are required by law.
We will retain your personal data only as long as necessary for its purposes as described. Please note that even if you leave we may still have to retain some data for particular periods.
