What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation is a regulation within the EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union and the European Economic Area. It’s an important component of human rights law.
Under the GDPR and Data Protection Acts 1988-2018, this Department, as a Data Controller(You), has a legal responsibility to:
- obtain and process personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
- keep it only for one or more specified and explicit lawful purpose(s)
- process it only in ways compatible with the purpose of which it was given initially
- keep data accurate, relevant and not excessive
- retain it no longer than is necessary for the specified purpose or purposes
- keep personal data safe and secure
The Data Protection Acts 1988-2018 are designed to protect people’s privacy. The legislation confers rights on individuals in relation to the privacy of their personal data as well as responsibilities on those persons holding and processing such data.
