This policy aims to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. The Regulation sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply. All personal data must be:

 

• processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject;

• collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes;

• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed;

• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, is erased or rectified without delay;

• kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the Regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject;

• 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.

 

The Regulation seeks to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject.

The Regulation states that processing of personal data shall be lawful if at least one of the following applies:

 

• the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

• processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

• processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

• processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

• processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

• processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

​

make:good collects and processes personal data sets - this may include personal data received directly from data subjects (for example, contact details used when a data subject communicates with us) and data received from third parties.

 

make:good only processes personal data for the specific purposes (or for other purposes expressly permitted by the Regulation). The purposes for which we process personal data will be informed to data subjects at the time that their personal data is collected.

 

make:good will only collect and process personal data for and to the extent necessary for the specific purpose(s) informed to data subjects as above.

 

make:good shall ensure that all personal data collected and processed is kept accurate and up-to-date. The accuracy of data shall be checked when it is collected and at regular intervals thereafter. Where any inaccurate or out-of-date data is found, all reasonable steps will be taken without delay to amend or erase that data, as appropriate.

 

make:good shall not keep personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the purposes for which that data was originally collected and processed. When the data is no longer required, all reasonable steps will be taken to erase it without delay.

 

make:good shall ensure that all personal data collected and processed is kept secure and protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

 

The Regulation sets out the following rights applicable to data subjects:

 

• The right to be informed;

• The right of access;

• The right to rectification;

• The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’);

• The right to restrict processing;

• The right to data portability;

• The right to object;

• Rights with respect to automated decision-making and profiling.

 

Data subjects may request that make:good ceases processing the personal data it holds about them. If a data subject makes such a request, make:good shall retain only the amount of personal data pertaining to that data subject that is necessary to ensure that no further processing of their personal data takes place.

 

 In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of the applicable restrictions on processing it (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).

 

make:good processes personal data using automated means via PCs and websites. Where data subjects have given their consent to process their personal data in such a manner or the processing is otherwise required for the performance of a contract between make:good and the data subject, data subjects have the legal right under the Regulation to receive a copy of their personal data and to use it for other purposes (namely transmitting it to other data controllers, e.g. other organisations).

 

Data subjects have the right to object to make:good processing their personal data based on legitimate interests (including profiling), direct marketing (including profiling), and processing for scientific and/or historical research and statistics purposes.

 

Where a data subject objects to make:good processing their personal data based on its legitimate interests, make:good shall cease such processing forthwith, unless it can be demonstrated that make:good’s legitimate grounds for such processing override the data subject’s interests, rights and freedoms; or the processing is necessary for the conduct of legal claims.
