Overview of Data Protection
UK GDPR and The Data Protection Act 2018 governs how personal data should be processed by organisations and applies to anything we do with personal data, such as collecting, accessing, sharing, analysing, storing and archiving it etc. The College is a Data Controller which means the College is responsible for compliance with the Act.
There are six key principles of UK GDPR
- Data is processed in a lawful, fair transparent manner
- Collected for a specific purpose(s) and not used for a separate purpose(s)
- Limited to what is necessary
- Accurate and up to date
- Stored for no longer than necessary
- Stored in a secure manner that protects from unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage
There are also eight key principles in the Data Protection Act:
- Personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully
- It shall be obtained for specified purposes
- Shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive
- It shall be accurate and up-to-date
- It shall not be kept longer than necessary
- It shall be processed in accordance with the rights of the data subject
- Measures shall be taken to protect processing, and to prevent loss and damage
- It shall not be transferred outside the EEA (European Economic Area) unless there is an adequate level of protection in that country
In additional, Bury College will be responsible for and aim to demonstrate compliance with this legislation in accordance with the accountability principle of UK GDPR.
