GDPR POLICY
WHAT IS GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which goes into effect on 25 May 2018, creates consistent data protection rules across Europe. It applies to all companies that process personal data about individuals in the EU, regardless of where the company is based. Processing is defined broadly and refers to anything related to personal data, including how a company handles and manages data, such as collecting, storing, using and destroying data.
PRINCIPLES OF GDPR
Personal data shall be:
Processed lawfully, fairly and transparently
Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes
Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the processing
Accurate and kept up to date
Kept only for as long as is necessary for processing
Processed in a manner that ensures its security
GDPR DEFINITIONS
DATA SUBJECT : A REAL PERSON WHO IS AN EU CITIZEN
DATA CONTROLLER : HOPKINS WARD ARE THE DATA CONTROLLER. WE ARE THE LEGAL PERSON THAT DETERMINES THE PURPOSE AND MEANS OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
DATA PROCESSOR: A LEGAL ENTITY WHO PERFORMS PROCESSING ON BEHALF OF A CONTROLLER. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DATA PROCESSOR TO INFORM THE CONTROLLER OF ALL OTHER DATA PROCESSORS THAT ARE RECEIVING PERSONAL INFORMATION OF DATA SUBJECTS
PROCESSING : ANY KIND OF ACTIONS PERFORMED ON PERSONAL DATA INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COLLECTION, STORAGE, STRUCTURING, ALTERATION, RETRIEVAL AND TRANSMISSION
PERSONAL DATA : ANY DATA OR INFORMATION THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY USED TO IDENTIFY A DATA SUBJECT. THIS CAN BE IN THE FORM OF PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED, BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, ON A CRM SYSTEM, EMAILS OR ELSEWHERE
CONSENT : CONSENT FROM A DATA SUBJECT IS AN INDICATION THAT A DATA SUBJECT IS FREELY GIVING SPECIFIC AND INFORMED PERMISSION FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA AFTER A CONTROLLER HAS UNAMBIGIOUSLY INDICATED WHAT PROCESSING WILL BE PERFORMED
DATA BREACH : A BREACH OF SECURITY IS AN EVENT LEADING TO THE ACCIDENTAL OR UNLAWFUL ACTION ON PERSONAL DATA SUCH AS DESTRUCTION, LOSS, ALTERATION, UNAUTHORISED ACCESS, UNAUTHORISED TRANSMISSION OF PERSONAL DATA
Consent
Where processing is based on consent, the controller shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of his or her personal data.
If the data subject’s consent is given in the context of a written declaration which also concerns other matters, the request for consent shall be presented in a manner which is clearly distinguishable from the other matters, in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. 2Any part of such a declaration which constitutes an infringement of this Regulation shall not be binding.
The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Prior to giving consent, the data subject shall be informed thereof. 4It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.
When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.
Notification of a personal data breach to the supervisory authority
In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. 2Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay.
The processor shall notify the controller without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach.
The notification referred to in paragraph 1 shall at least:
describe the nature of the personal data breach including where possible, the categories and approximate number of data subjects concerned and the categories and approximate number of personal data records concerned;
communicate the name and contact details of the data protection officer or other contact point where more information can be obtained;
describe the likely consequences of the personal data breach;
describe the measures taken or proposed to be taken by the controller to address the personal data breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
Where, and in so far as, it is not possible to provide the information at the same time, the information may be provided in phases without undue further delay.
1The controller shall document any personal data breaches, comprising the facts relating to the personal data breach, its effects and the remedial action taken. 2That documentation shall enable the supervisory authority to verify compliance with this Article.
Communication of a personal data breach to the data subject
When the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller shall communicate the personal data breach to the data subject without undue delay.
The communication to the data subject referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall describe in clear and plain language the nature of the personal data breach and contain at least the information and measures referred to in points (b), (c) and (d) of Article 33(3).
The communication to the data subject referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required if any of the following conditions are met:
the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organisational protection measures, and those measures were applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, in particular those that render the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it, such as encryption;
the controller has taken subsequent measures which ensure that the high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects referred to in paragraph 1 is no longer likely to materialise;
it would involve disproportionate effort. In such a case, there shall instead be a public communication or similar measure whereby the data subjects are informed in an equally effective manner.
If the controller has not already communicated the personal data breach to the data subject, the supervisory authority, having considered the likelihood of the personal data breach resulting in a high risk, may require it to do so or may decide that any of the conditions referred to in paragraph 3 are met.
