GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION POLICY

Coloured Linen Hire Ltd is committed to a Policy of protecting the rights and privacy of individuals, including Management, Staff, and others, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into force on 25th May 2018.
The new regulatory environment demands higher transparency and accountability in how the Company manages and use personal data. It also accords new and stronger rights for individuals to understand and control that use.
The GDPR contains provisions that the the Company will need to be aware of as data controllers, including provisions intended to enhance the protection of Clients and individual’s Personal data.
COMPLIANCE:
This Policy applies to all management, and staff of the Company.
Any breach of this Policy or of the Regulation itself will be considered an offence and the Company’s disciplinary procedures will be invoked. As a matter of best practice, other agencies and any individuals working with the Company and who have access to Client or Personal information, will be expected to read and comply with this Policy.
It is expected that any person or department who are responsible for dealing with external bodies will take the responsibility for ensuring that such bodies sign a contract which among other things will include an agreement to abide by this Policy.
This Policy will be updated as necessary to reflect best practice in data management, and control and to ensure compliance with any changes or amendments to the GDPR and other relevant legislation.
DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES:
The Company is committed to processing data in accordance with its responsibilities under the GDPR.
Article 5 of the GDPR requires that personal data shall be:
• Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to individuals;
• collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed;
• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay;
• kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
• Personal data may be stored for longer periods in so far as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes as required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals; and
• processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
GENERAL PROVISIONS:
• This Policy applies to all personal data processed by the Company.
• The Responsible Person shall take responsibility for the Company’s ongoing compliance with this Policy.
• This Policy shall be reviewed at least annually.

Where consent is relied upon as a lawful basis for processing data, evidence of opt-in consent shall be kept with the personal data.
Where communications are sent to individuals based on their consent, the option for the individual to revoke their consent should be clearly available and systems should be in place to ensure such revocation is reflected accurately in the Company’s records.
TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES:
The Company will put appropriate technical and organisational measures in place against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data, and against accidental loss or destruction of data.
All members of staff are responsible for ensuring that any personal data which they hold is kept securely and not disclosed to any unauthorised third parties.
The Company will ensure that all personal data is accessible only to those who have a valid reason for using it.
