Privacy and personal data protection policy<\/span><\/h3>

The General Data Protection Regulation<\/span><\/h3>

The General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (GDPR) is one of the most significant pieces of legislation affecting the way that Skala Skips carries out its information processing activities. Significant fines are applicable if a breach is deemed to have occurred under the GDPR, which is designed to protect the personal data of citizens of the European Union. It is Skala Skips\u2019s policy to ensure that our compliance with the GDPR and other relevant legislation is always clear and demonstrable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Definitions<\/span><\/h3>

Personal data<\/b> is defined as: <\/span>\u201cany information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (\u2018data subject\u2019); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Processing<\/b> means: <\/span>\u201cany operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Controller<\/b> means: \u201c<\/span>the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Principles relating to processing of personal data<\/span><\/h3>

There are several fundamental principles upon which the GDPR is based.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

These dictate that personal data shall be:<\/span><\/p>

  1. Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (\u2018lawfulness, fairness and transparency\u2019).<\/span><\/li>
  2. Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes (\u2018purpose limitation\u2019).<\/span><\/li>
  3. Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (\u2018data minimisation\u2019).<\/span><\/li>
  4. Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date (\u2018accuracy\u2019)<\/span><\/li>
  5. Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed (\u2018storage limitation\u2019).<\/span><\/li>
  6. 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 (\u2018integrity and confidentiality\u2019).<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    In addition, the controller shall be responsible for and be able to demonstrate compliance with all these principles (\u2018accountability\u2019).<\/span><\/p>

    Skala Skips ensures that it complies with all these principles both in the processing it currently carries out and as part of the introduction of new methods of processing such as new IT systems.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Data Collected and means of collection\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

    Information can be obtained in various ways, including but not limited to:<\/span><\/p>

    1. Information data subjects provide us through our website, email, or physical documents submitted to us.<\/span><\/li>
    2. Information that we collect directly from our clients, employees, or third parties via telephone or in-person consultations.<\/span><\/li>
    3. Information that we collect through regulatory authorities or financial institutions as part of compliance and due diligence processes.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
