AHCPBG   Data Protection Policy

 

AHCPBG   needs to collect and use certain types of information about people with whom it deals in order to operate. These include current, past and prospective employees, suppliers, clients/customers, and others with whom it communicates. In addition, it may occasionally be required by law to collect and use certain types of information of this kind to comply with the requirements of government departments for business data, for example. This personal information must be dealt with properly, however it is collected, recorded and used – whether on paper, in a computer, or recorded on other material – and there are safeguards to ensure this in the Data Protection Act 1998. 

 

We regard the lawful and correct treatment of personal information as very important to successful operations, and to maintaining confidence between those with whom we deal and ourselves. We ensure that our organisation treats personal information lawfully and correctly. 

 

To this end we fully endorse and adhere to the Principles of Data Protection Law, as enumerated in the Data Protection Act 1998. Specifically, the Principles require that personal information: 

  1. Shall be processed fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be processed unless specific conditions are met; 
  2. Shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes; 
  3. Shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed; 
  4. Shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; 
  5. hall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes; 
  6. Shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under the Act; 
  7. Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data. 
  8. Shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data.

  • the right to correct, rectify, block or erase information which is regarded as wrong information. 
  • take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to safeguard personal information; 
  • ensure that personal information is not transferred abroad without suitable safeguards. 
  • ensure that appropriate measures are put in place to safeguard any personal data that is processed on its behalf by other organisations. 

 

In addition, AHCPBG   will ensure that:
