Designed by our GDPR and data protection experts
Everyone responsible for using personal data in organisations, businesses and the government must follow six strict ‘data protection principles’. They must make sure the information is:
- used fairly, lawfully and transparently
- used for specified, explicit purposes
- used in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to only what is necessary
- accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- kept for no longer than is necessary
- handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised processing, access, loss, destruction or damage
As an employer, it is your obligation to equip your employees with the necessary information to securely handle data.
