Coddenham Parish Council
Data Protection Essentials
The Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) set out six data protection principles to provide clear guidance on the main responsibilities of organisations and individuals when processing data, as well as the kinds of practices which will respect and help reinforce peoples' data rights.
Coddenham Parish Council abides by these principles when we work with your data by:
1. processing data fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner;
2. only using your data for the purpose for which it was collected for:
3. only retaining adequate, and relevant data by not retaining excessive data;
4. ensuring the data we hold is accurate and up to date;
5. not keeping your data for longer than is necessary;
6. processing your data securely.
Accountability
The regulatory principle of accountability requires Coddenham Parish Council to be proactive and to take responsibility for how we process data and comply with the six data protection principles.
Coddenham Parish Council demonstrates this compliance by having implemented appropriate measures by adopting policies & procedures, regularly reviewing them and undertaking internal audits.
