Comprehensive policy to publicise your compliance with legal obligations of the UK Data Protection Act 1998 and spells out to staff, how you and they will use all data
About this document
To manage your obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998, you need two documents:
• A privacy policy (not necessary for a land based business)
• A data protection policy
This document is addressed to your staff, so that compliance really happens. Of course, some explanation and education is advised
This data protection policy is suitable for any business or organisation saving data by electronic means; that is, any business that uses a computer
Use this document because it provides an easy way to assure your staff (and customers) that their data is safe in your control. The more data you collect, the more important is this assurance. More importantly, it is also useful because you have a legal obligation to comply with data protection legislation
Note: you are not complying with the data protection legislation merely by having an appropriate privacy policy. Compliance relates to being registered, and how you store and use the data. Telling the World through a privacy policy is only one part.
