How we manage your personal data
Introduction
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from May 2018, protects the rights of individuals by setting out certain rules as to what organisations can and cannot do with the information they hold about people. A key element of this is the requirement to process individuals’ data lawfully and fairly. GDPR sets out requirements for when and how each organisation can process data about you, which we must comply with by law. The principles of the GDPR state that personal information must be:
- 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, kept up-to-date, with every reasonable step taken to ensure that inaccurate personal data is erased or rectified without delay.
- Kept in a form that permits identification of 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 for the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
Cambridge Supervision Training (CST) takes these directives seriously, subscribing to the GDPR requirements.
We ensure that we only record and use information that we need for legitimate purposes and that personal data is collected, handled, stored and shared only to the extent that is necessary and in a secure manner, in accordance with data protection legislation.
We undertake to be responsible for, and able to demonstrate compliance with, the above principles.
This document outlines what personal data we collect, how we use it and with whom we share it. It also includes guidance on your individual rights.
If we make any material changes, we will notify you via email or a notice on our website www.cambridgesupervisiontraining.org
