variety of legislation controlling how such activities may be carried out and

relevant GDPR legislation.
We have a Data Protection regime in place to
oversee the effective and secure processing of your personal data. We shall not
disclose the information you entrust us with to third parties except where we
have a statutory or contractual duty to do so (including to your employer, if
sponsored), where you have given prior approval or where an official third-party
data processing agreement exists.
The purpose of this policy is to set out the relevant legislation and to
describe the steps The Plytek Group is
taking to ensure that it complies with it.

then this information must be provided within a reasonable period after the
data are obtained and definitely within one month.
Privacy by Design
The Plytek Group has adopted the principle of privacy by
design and will ensure that the definition and planning of all new or
significantly changed systems that collect, or process personal data will be
subject to due consideration of privacy issues, including the completion of one
or more data protection impact assessments.
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.
Transfer
of Personal Data
Transfers of personal data outside the European Union will not occur by The Plytek Group
Breach
Notification
It’s The Plytek Group’s policy to be fair
and proportionate when considering the actions to be taken to inform affected
parties regarding breaches of personal data. In line with the GDPR, where a
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
Security Incident Response Procedure which sets out the overall process of
handling information security incidents.
