Data

Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer required. Processing of personal data will always be in accordance with regulations detailed in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

​

What is GDPR?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will replace the Data Protection Act 1998, which was brought into law as a way to implement the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. GDPR seeks to give people more control over how organisations use their personal data, and to ensure that data protection law is almost identical across the EU. The GDPR deems that any data that can be used to identify an individual is classed as personal data. It includes genetic, mental, cultural, economic or social information. The GDPR also brings a new set of ‘digital rights’ for EU citizens to protect against the growing value of personal data in the digital economy. Organisations who fail to comply with GDPR regulations are subject to receive hefty penalties.

​

What counts as personal data under the GDPR?

The EU has expanded the definition of personal data to reflect the types of data organisations now collect about people, and online identifiers such as IP addresses now qualify as personal data. Other data such as economic, cultural or mental health information, are also considered personally identifiable information.

​

Pseudonymised personal data may also be subject to GDPR rules depending on how easy, or hard, it is to identify whose data it is. Anything that counted as personal data under the Data Protection Act also qualifies as personal data under the GDPR.
