Data Protection

This legislation is designed to cover the collecting, storing, processing and distribution of personal data. It gives rights to individuals about whom information is recorded.

Policy Statement

Any personal data we collect and use is treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. We, the London Borough of Enfield, and any third party service provider contracted by us to provide a service to our customers will only collect and use personal data for the purpose(s) pertinent to its collection and use, and this will be stated at all times upon collection.

The London Borough of Enfield will endeavour to ensure that all personal data will be processed in accordance with the Principles and Rights as defined within the Data Protection Act 1998. Any disclosure(s) of data will be in accordance with our Notification “Z5492012” registered with the Information Commissioner, which can be viewed at www.dataprotection.gov.uk

Information provided by customers via our on-line transactional services will only be used for the purpose(s) stated on that particular form. Any personal information collected in emails will only be used for the purpose(s), which we reasonably believe it was provided for.

Changes

If this Data Protection policy needs to change in any way, then the London Borough of Enfield will update it as required. By regularly reviewing this policy we ensure that customers are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with others.

The Data Protection Act 1998 is designed to cover the collecting, storing, viewing, distribution, disposal and any other processing of personal data. The Act requires data controllers to follow eight key principles in the processing of personal data. It gives rights to individuals about whom information is recorded.
This applies to all individuals whether they are an employee, elected member or a member of the public. Each individual has the right to access personal data, prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress and prevent processing for the purposes of direct marketing.

They also have rights in relation to automated decision taking, to take action for compensation if they suffer damage by any contravention of the Act by the data controller, to rectify, block, erase or destroy inaccurate data and to make a request to the Information Commissioner for an assessment to be made of the data controller if they feel that the Act has been contravened.
