Data Protection Policy
​
Introduction
Touchworks Ltd (the Company) regards the lawful and correct processing of personal and sensitive data as an integral part of its purpose. The Company believes this is vital for maintaining the confidence of members, volunteers, employees and other stakeholders about whom we process data, and ourselves.
Policy Statement
This Data Protection Policy explains how the Company will meet its legal obligations concerning confidentiality and data security standards. The requirements within the policy are primarily based upon the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), which is the key piece of legislation covering data security and confidentiality of personal and sensitive personal data in the European Union.
-
The Company will fully implement all aspects of the EU GDPR.
-
The Company will ensure all employees and others handling personal data are aware of their obligations and rights under the EU GDPR.
-
The Company will implement adequate and appropriate physical and technical measures and organisational measures to ensure the security of all data contained in or handled by its systems.
The main focus of this policy is to provide guidance about the protection, sharing and disclosure of personal data, but it is important to stress that maintaining confidentiality and adhering to data protection legislation applies to anyone handling personal data or personal sensitive data on behalf of the Company.
Registration with the Information Commissioner
The Digital Economy Act 2017 requires every data controller (i.e. organisation) in the UK to pay a fee to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and outline the categories of data they hold about people, and what they do with it.
The Company is registered with the ICO to:
‘...process personal information to enable us to provide health services to our patients, to maintain our accounts and records.
Type/classes of information processed.
We process information relevant to the above reasons/purposes. This information
may include:
-
personal details
-
family details
-
lifestyle and social circumstances
-
goods and services
-
employment and education details
We also process sensitive classes of information that may include:
-
physical or mental health details
-
sexual life
-
racial or ethnic origin
Who the information is processed about.
We may process personal information about our:
-
patients
-
customers and clients
Where necessary or required we share information with:
-
healthcare professionals
-
social and welfare organisations
-
central government
-
family, associates and representatives of the person whose personal data we
-
are processing
-
suppliers and service providers…’
Data Protection Principles
The eight Data Protection principles that lie at the heart of the EU GDPR give the Regulation its strength and purpose. To this end, the Company fully endorses and abides by the principles of data protection. Specifically, the eight principles require that:
-
processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals;
-
collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes;
-
adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed;
-
accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or are rectified without delay;
-
kept in a form which permits identification of the data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals, and;
-
processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
-
Personal data and sensitive personal data must not be used other than for the specific purpose required to deliver a product or service. The individual should always know that their data is being processed. When that data is especially sensitive, consent is required before the data can be processed by the Company.
-
All data collected from people under the age of 16 (unless there are concerns about mental capacity in which case this should be extended) is to be treated as sensitive personal data.
A record can be in computerised and/or in a physical format. It may include such documentation as:
-
Manually stored paper files e.g. membership records, employee records
-
Hand written notes
-
Letters to and from the Company
-
Electronic records
-
Printouts
-
Photographs
-
Videos and tape recordings
Backup data (i.e. archived data or disaster recovery records) also falls under the DPA; however, a search within them should only be conducted if specifically asked for by an individual as an official Subject Access Request.
Rights of Access by Individuals
The EU GDPR gives every living person (or their authorised representative) the right to apply for access to the personal data which organisations hold about them irrespective of when and how they were compiled, i.e. hand written records, electronic and manual records held in a structured file. This is called a Subject Access Request. The EU GDPR treats personal data relating to employees, members and clients alike.
Practical Implications
Understanding and complying with the eight Data Protection Principles is the key to understanding and complying with the Company’s responsibilities as the data controller.
Therefore, the Company will, through appropriate management, and strict application of criteria and controls:
-
Ensure that there are lawful grounds for using the personal data
-
Ensure that the use of the data is fair and meets one of the specified conditions
-
Only use sensitive personal data where we have obtained the individual’s explicit consent (unless an exemption applies)
-
Only use sensitive personal data, if it is absolutely necessary
-
Explain to individuals, at the time their personal data is collected, how that information will be used
-
Only obtain and use personal data for those purposes which are known to the individual
-
Ensure personal data is only used for the purpose it was given. If the Company needs to use the data for other purposes, further consent will be obtained.
-
Only keep personal data that is relevant to the Company
-
Keep personal data accurate and up to date
-
Only keep personal data for as long as is necessary
-
Always adhere to our Subject Access Request Procedure and be receptive to any queries, requests or complaints made by individuals in connection with their personal data
-
Ensure individuals are given the opportunity to 'opt in' to receiving mass communications
-
Take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to safeguard personal data.
