Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the European Union and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
 

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We will notify you via email

      • Within 7 business days
      • Within 72 hours any breaches will be sent to the Information Commissioner's Office (UK).
        https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/report-a-breach/

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

SPAM

The GDPR is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

Data portability

Your right to data portability only applies to personal data. This means that it does not apply to genuinely anonymous data. However, pseudonymous data that can be clearly linked back to an individual (eg where that individual provides the respective identifier) is within the scope of the right.

The right to data portability entitles you as the individual to:

• receive a copy of their personal data; and/or
• have their personal data transmitted from one controller to another controller.

You have the right to receive your personal data and store it for further personal use. This allows you to manage and reuse their personal data. For example, you want to retrieve your contact list from a webmail application to build a wedding list or to store their data in a personal data store.

What are the limits when transmitting personal data to another controller?

You have the right to ask Sweet Victory Products ltd to transmit your personal data directly to another controller without hindrance.  If it is technically feasible

The time limit for such a request for information is one month to the date the request was created.

Right to Erasure .

Under Article 17 of the GDPR individuals have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.

The GDPR specifies two circumstances where you should tell other organisations about the erasure of personal data:

• the personal data has been disclosed to others; or
• the personal data has been made public in an online environment (for example on social networks, forums or websites).

When does the right to erasure not apply?

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary for one of the following reasons:

• to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
• to comply with a legal obligation;
• for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research historical research or statistical purposes where erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of that processing; or
• for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The GDPR also specifies two circumstances where the right to erasure will not apply to special category data:

• if the processing is necessary for public health purposes in the public interest (eg protecting against serious cross-border threats to health, or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of healthcare and of medicinal products or medical devices); or
  
  
• if the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine (eg where the processing is necessary for the working capacity of an employee; for medical diagnosis; for the provision of health or social care; or for the management of health or social care systems or services). This only applies where the data is being processed by or under the responsibility of a professional subject to a legal obligation of professional secrecy (eg a health professional).

We may require ID.

If we have doubts about the identity of the person making the request we can ask for more information. However, it is important that you only request information that is necessary to confirm who they are. The key to this is proportionality. You should take into account what data you hold, the nature of the data, and what you are using it for.

You will be notified without undue delay and within one month that we need more information from you to confirm your identity. We reserve the right not to comply with the request until we have received the additional information.
