Data Protection Information

Introduction

PIP ASSIST will protect your personal data and sensitive personal data, using them only for the purposes for which you supplied it.

Policy Statement

This Data Protection Policy explains how PIP ASSIST discharges its legal obligations concerning confidentiality and data security standards. The requirements within the policy are based upon the Data Protection Act 2018.

Data Protection Principles

The principles require that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner; 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 kept up-to-date; kept in a form which permits identification of the data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; 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.

Rights of access by individuals

Data Protection law gives everyone (or their authorised representative) the right to apply for access to the personal data which organisations hold about them. This is called a “Subject Access Request”. PIP ASSIST will comply with subject access requests within the legislative time limits. We must act on the subject access request without undue delay and at the latest, within one month of receipt.
