What is data protection? When you give your personal details to an organisation or individual, they have a duty to keep these details private and safe. This process is known as data protection. We refer to organisations or individuals who control the contents and use of your personal details as 'data controllers'. Most of us give information about ourselves to groups such as Government bodies, banks, insurance companies, medical professionals and telephone companies to use their services or meet certain conditions. Organisations or individuals can also get information about us from other sources. Under data protection law, you have rights regarding the use of these personal details and data controllers have certain responsibilities in how they handle this information.

When do these rights apply? You have the right to data protection when your details are: – held on a computer; – held on paper or other manual form as part of a filing system; and – made up of photographs or video recordings of your image or recordings of your voice.

What is the aim of these rights? Data protection rights will help you to make sure that the information stored about you is: – factually correct; – only available to those who should have it; – only used for stated purposes.
