Privacy Notice – transparency of data protection

Justification for personal data

We will process personal data in compliance with all six data protection principles.
We will document the additional justification for the processing of sensitive data, and will ensure any biometric and genetic data is considered sensitive.

A data subject may request that any information held on them is deleted or removed, and any third parties who process or use that data must also comply with the request. An erasure request can only be refused if an exemption applies.

Privacy by design and default

When relevant, and when it does not have a negative impact on the data subject, privacy settings will be set to the most private by default.
