Personal Data is defined by the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, “UK Data Protection Legislation”) as any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier.
Put simply, Personal Data is any information about a Data Subject that enables them to be identified. Personal Data covers information such as a Data Subject’s name and contact details, but it also covers identification numbers, electronic location data, and other identifiers.
Definitions
Automated Decision-Making (ADM) means when a decision is made which is based solely on Automated Processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects or significantly affects an individual. The UK GDPR prohibits Automated Decision-Making (unless certain conditions are met) but not Automated Processing.
Consent means agreement which must be freely given, specific, informed and be an unambiguous indication of the Data Subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear positive action, signify agreement to the Processing of Personal Data relating to them.
Controller means the person or organisation that determines when, why and how to process Personal Data. They are responsible for establishing practices and policies in line with the UK GDPR. We are the Controller of all Personal Data relating to our customers and Personal Data used in our business for our own commercial purposes.
Data Subject means an individual, identified or identifiable natural person about whom we hold Personal Data. Data Subjects may be nationals or residents of any country and may have legal rights regarding their Personal Data.
Data Privacy Manager (DPM) means the Company Data Protection Officer or such other person appointed by the Company who is responsible for data protection compliance.
UK GDPR means the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 as modified by Schedule 1 to the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/419). Personal Data is subject to the legal safeguards specified in the UK GDPR. The UK GPDR is supplemented by, and must be read in conjunction with, the Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA 2018”). The DPA 2018 sets out separate data protection rules for law enforcement authorities, extends data protection to some other areas such as national security and defence, and sets out the Information Commissioner’s functions and powers.
Personal Data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (Data Subject).
Personal Data Breach means any act or omission that compromises the security, confidentiality, integrity or availability of Personal Data or the physical, technical, administrative or organisational safeguards that we or our third-party service providers put in place to protect it. The accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or unauthorised access, disclosure or acquisition, of Personal Data is a Personal Data Breach.
Process or Processing means 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, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, dissemination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
