Rules of Data Protection
WIT, as a Data Controller, has certain key responsibilities in relation to the information which we keep on computer or in a structured manual file about individuals. These are summarised in terms of eight "Rules" which we must follow, and which are listed below:
- Obtain and process the information fairly
- Keep it only for one or more specified and lawful purposes
- Process it only in ways compatible with the purposes for which it was given to you initially
- Keep it safe and secure
- Keep it accurate and up-to-date
- Ensure that it is adequate, relevant and not excessive
- Retain it no longer than is necessary for the specified purpose or purposes
- Give a copy of his/her personal data to any individual, on request
