The six data protection principles
We shall adhere to the six principles of data protection, which are:
- fairness, lawfulness and transparency: personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully and in a transparent manner
- purpose limitation: personal data shall be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and shall not be processed in a manner incompatible with that purpose
- data minimisation: personal data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purpose
- accuracy: personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- storage limitation: personal data shall be kept in a form that permits identification for no longer than necessary
- security: personal data shall be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security
Additionally, we will ensure compliance with the accountability principle, meaning we keep records to show we're meeting these standards.
