Privacy by Design
The Plytek Group has adopted the principle of privacy by

The data protection impact assessment will include.
- Consideration of how personal data will be processed and for what purposes
- Assessment of whether the proposed processing of personal data is both necessary and proportionate to the purpose(s)
- Assessment of the risks to individuals in processing the personal data
- What controls are necessary to address the identified risks and demonstrate compliance with legislation
Use of techniques such as data minimisation and pseudonymisation should
be considered where applicable and appropriate.

Breach
Notification
It’s The Plytek Group’s policy to be fair

breach is known to have occurred which is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals,
the relevant Data Protection Authority (DPA) will be informed within 72 hours.
This will be managed in accordance with our Information
