8. Data Security

8.1 We implement appropriate technical measures and adopt relevant policies and processes, as an organisation, in order to protect the security and confidentiality of personal information. These measures include access controls (e.g. secure passwords), encryption, 2-factor authentication, and regular security assessments. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Special category data and data relating to children (under the age of 18) and vulnerable adults (“Sensitive Data”) that is collected and processed in accordance with this policy shall be stored subject to additional reviews by our internal team to ensure that we are satisfied that the storage and processing of that data is appropriate. In particular, Sensitive Data shall be subject to the following additional safeguards:

~We shall review where Sensitive Data is stored periodically and at least every three (3) months to ensure that it is appropriately secured and protected.

We shall maintain robust processes that govern the access to and retrieval of Sensitive Data, which shall include:

~Who can access Sensitive Data, and how much access they will need at any given point in time in order to discharge our duties to you or to any lawful authority;

~What Sensitive Data is permitted to be used for (which shall be restricted only to that use which is reasonably necessary for us to discharge our contractual and/or statutory duties);

~What processing takes place when Sensitive Data is retrieved, including guidelines about what copies might be made, what they will be used for and where they will be stored.

In the event that there was to be any data breach of any kind (either suspected or known), we will undertake to:

~Immediately take action to assess and mitigate the extent of any such breach.

~Take steps to promptly assess what data has been, or may have been, compromised.

Inform data subjects of the data breach, using clear and jargon-free language.

~Take any measures that may be necessary in order to prevent compromised data being used by an unauthorised third party (e.g. recommending to data subjects that they change passwords that may have been compromised).

~Where appropriate, we will keep data subjects informed of any change to the level of risk we assess exists as a result of any such breach.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
