ACCOUNTABILITY PRINCIPLES FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

(LEAL) will abide by these accountability principles in the course of processing personal data and shall ensure that adequate systems and processes, including training is in place to create an environment where the processing of personal data is conducted in accordance with the fundamental rights of data subjects.

  • PRINCIPLE
    APPLICATION
  • LAWFULNESS, FAIRNESS AND TRANSPARENCY

    This involves the processing of data in accordance with one of the following principles:


    1. ON THE BASIS OF CONSENT

    Where the data subject has provided express consent – we may process your data for the specific purpose for which you have submitted your data and for no other purposes, unless you have been consulted.


    2. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PERFORMING A CONTRACT

    (LEAL) may collect and process personal data per contract and for the purposes of performing the contract. Therefore, if personal data is held for contract purposes, (LEAL) may contact the data subject on occasion to request an update the personal data that has provided to ensure that contractual obligations can be fulfilled.


    3. FOR THE PURPOSE OF FULFILLING LEGAL OBLIGATIONS

    (LEAL) may process personal data where there is a legal obligation to do so in which (LEAL) acting either as a Controller or Processor is subject to a legal obligation.


    4. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING VITAL INTERESTS

    In the event that (LEAL) processes personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or those of another, it will ensure that the processing is absolutely necessary and complies with our legal obligations under GDPR and national law.


    5. FOR THE PURPOSE OF CARRYING OUT A TASK IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

    (LEAL) may process personal data where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Group.


    6. FOR THE PURPOSES OF PURSUING THE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS OF A CONTROLLER OR PROCESSOR

    (LEAL) may process personal data where the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by a controller or processor or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require protection of personal data. Wherever a third party is involved in the processing of personal data, the data subject will be made aware before personal data is shared with the third party.

    Once the named principles (above) have been satisfied, LEAL will ensure that the data subject is aware of the processing, the purpose for which their data is being processed, who is processing their personal data.

  • PURPOSE LIMITATION

    (LEAL) will only process personal data based on the conditions named above and will ensure that all personal data processed is processed solely for the purposes as communicated to the data subject. This will be for a limited purpose and will be expressly communicated

  • DATA MINIMISATION

    (LEAL) will only process the personal data that is absolutely necessary to conduct its business functions. In addition, all data stored will be kept to the minimum requirement for operational purposes.

  • DATA ACCURACY

    (LEAL) will ensue that all personal data that is processed is kept is kept accurately, in its latest and most updated form. The Group will provide data subjects with an opportunity at regular intervals to update their personal data, when personal data is held.

  • STORAGE LIMITATION

    (LEAL) will ensure that personal data is stored for no longer than is necessary to conduct a business function or for record keeping per legal requirement. Data storage systems will ensure that ‘dormant’ personal data (such as the personal data held from a contract after the expiry or termination of a contract – kept for legal reasons such as in the event of a claim, etc.), is secure and encrypted and access is limited to key personnel.

  • INTEGRITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

    (LEAL) will treat all personal data with the utmost regard. No personal data will be shared with third parties without providing notice and obtaining the consent of the data subject. Appropriate data security measures will be implemented to ensure that no unauthorised access to personal data is granted.
