Privacy Policy

Framework Training Privacy Statement

Principles

1. An organisation that processes personal data (Data Controller/ the controller) is required to handle personal data in accordance with the data protection principles. A data controller may choose to use another organisation to process personal data on its behalf – a data processor. The data controller remains responsible for ensuring its processing complies with the DPA, whether it processes in-house or engages a data processor. Where a data processor is used the data controller must ensure that suitable security arrangements are in place in order to comply with the seventh data protection principle.

2. The seventh data protection principle provides that: “Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data”.

3. Where processing of personal data is carried out by a data processor on behalf of a data controller, the data controller is not to be regarded as complying with the seventh principle unless – (a) the processing is carried out under a contract – (i) which is made or evidenced in writing, and (ii) under which the data processor is to act only on instructions from the data controller, and (b) the contract requires the data processor to comply with obligations equivalent to those imposed on a data controller by the seventh principle”.

4. The DPA requires the controller to have a written contract with their chosen processor. The contract must ensure that Framework Training Ltd:

a. may only use and disclose the personal data in accordance with their instructions; and

b. must take appropriate security measures to protect the data.

In summary, there are legal obligations that a Data Processor such as Framework Training Ltd is obliged to undertake when processing data on behalf of a client. However, the Data Protection Act and the Information Commissioners Office do not stipulate what measures should be undertaken. Instead they state:

“Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.”

From May 2018 GDPR comes into force and defines specific legal obligations for the Data Processor and Data Controller. Articles 28-36 specify that The Processor must:

1. only act on the written instructions of the controller;

2. ensure that people processing the data are subject to a duty of confidence;

3. take appropriate measures to ensure the security of processing;

4. only engage sub-processors with the prior consent of the controller and under a written contract;

5. assist the controller in providing subject access and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under the GDPR;

6. assist the controller in meeting its GDPR obligations in relation to the security of processing, the notification of personal data breaches and data protection impact assessments;

7. delete or return all personal data to the controller as requested at the end of the contract; and

8. submit to audits and inspections, provide the controller with whatever information it needs to ensure that they are both meeting their Article 28 obligations, and tell the controller immediately if it is asked to do something infringing the GDPR or other data protection law of the EU or a member state.

Framework Training Ltd’s commitment to Clients

Keeping data secure

2. Ensuring that access to the data is limited to approved staff members

3. Limiting access to staff members to prevent accidental destruction or damage to the data

4. Securing the database behind appropriate security systems to prevent unauthorised access.

Duty of confidence

Framework Training Ltd must obtain a commitment of confidentiality from anyone it allows to process the personal data, unless they are already under such a duty by law.

Using sub-processors

1. Framework Training Ltd maintains appropriate contractual agreements covering the same strict data protection requirements with sub-processors who may have access to this data (namely CRM, Website and Email hosting);

2. if another processor is employed under the controller’s prior general written authorisation, Framework Training Ltd should let the controller know of any changes it has made and give the controller a chance to object to them;

3. if Framework Training Ltd employs another processor, then it must impose the contract terms that are required by Article 28.3 of the GDPR on the sub-processor; and

4. if Framework Training Ltd employs another processor, then the original processor will still be liable to the controller for the compliance of the sub- processor.

End of contract provision
