Protection Principles
In
terms of the Data Protection Act 2018, we are the ‘data controller’, and as
such determine the purpose for which, and the manner in which, any personal data
is, or is to be, processed. We must ensure that we have;-
We require
members to complete and sign an application form for membership in which we
state the use to which data will be put. We require donors to complete and sign
a donor form in which we state the use to which personal data will be put and
the use to which the material/information we receive from them is put. We
require people on our mailing list to agree to their data retention.
2.
Processed
for limited purpose
We
will not use data for a purpose other than those agreed. If data held by us is
requested by an external organisation for any reason, it will only be provided
if individuals agree. External organisations must state the purpose of
processing, agree not to copy the data for further use and agree to abide by The
Data Protection Act 1998 and the Buckley Society Data Protection Policy.
3.
Adequate,
relevant and not excessive
The
Society will monitor the data held for operating purposes, ensuring we hold
neither too much nor too little data in respect of the individuals about whom
the data is held. If data given or obtained is considered excessive for such
purpose, it will be immediately deleted or destroyed.
We
will take regular steps to ensure that personal information we keep about data
subjects is kept accurate and up to date. All amendments will be made
immediately and data no longer required will be deleted or destroyed. It is the
responsibility of individuals and organisations to ensure the data provided to
us is accurate and up-to-date. Completion of a membership/donor application form
(provided by us) will be taken as an indication that the data contained therein
is accurate. Individuals should notify the Society of any changes to enable
records to be updated accordingly. It is the responsibility of the Society to
act upon notification of changes to data, amending it where relevant.

discourage the retention of data for longer than it is required. All personal
data will be deleted or destroyed by us after one year of non-membership has

fulfil efficient administration.

authorised users to access personal data held therein. Passwords on computers
are changed frequently. All personal and financial data is kept securely. When
Society Committee members are using the laptop computers, care will always be
taken to ensure that personal data on screen is not visible to strangers.
8.

Personal

without the explicit consent of the individual.

information on the Internet, which can be accessed from anywhere in the globe.
