Privacy Policy

Your personal data – what is it?

“Personal data” is any information about a living individual which allows them to
be identified from that data (for example a name, photographs, videos, email
address, or address). Identification can be directly using the data itself or by
combining it with other information which helps to identify a living individual
(e.g. a list of staff may contain personnel ID numbers rather than names but if
you use a separate list of the ID numbers which give the corresponding names
to identify the staff in the first list then the first list will also be treated as
personal data). The processing of personal data is governed by legislation
relating to personal data which applies in the United Kingdom including the
General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR) and other legislation relating to
personal data and rights such as the Human Rights Act.
