    Study Notes

    Data Protection Principles

    • Everyone responsible for developing systems storing personal data must follow the six data protection principles.
    • These principles are: lawfulness, fairness, and transparency; purpose limitation; data minimisation; accuracy; storage limitation; and integrity and confidentiality.
    • Stronger legal protection under the Data Protection Act 2018 is considered to be provided by "legitimate interest" as a lawful basis for processing personal data.
    • This is often used where the organisation has a clear reason for processing data beyond simply fulfilling a contract.
    • However, it needs to be carefully considered to ensure it is proportionate and does not outweigh individuals' rights.

    Individual Rights under Data Protection Act 2018

    • Individuals have several rights concerning their personal data under the Data Protection Act 2018. These include:
      • Right to access
      • Right to rectification
      • Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
      • Right to restriction of processing
      • Right to data portability
      • Right to object

    More Sensitive Information

    • More sensitive information under the Data Protection Act 2018 refers to data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data for unique identification, data concerning health, sex life, or sexual orientation.
    • Additional safeguards are required when handling this kind of information.

    Handling Personal Data Accuracy and Relevance

    • Personal data should be handled ensuring it is accurate and relevant.
    • Organisations need to take reasonable steps to maintain accuracy and ensure data is relevant to the intended purpose of processing.
    • This includes having processes in place for updating information and deleting outdated data.

    Maximum Time for Providing Data

    • Organisations typically have one month to respond to data subject access requests.
    • However, they can take up to three months in complex situations, like large data sets, if they provide notification within the initial month.

    Withholding Information

    • Organisations can withhold information in specific cases when:
      • There is a legal obligation to withhold the information.
      • Public interest issues are at stake.
      • It would potentially harm other individuals' rights.

    Charging for Providing Information

    • Organisations can charge an administrative cost for providing information when:
      • The request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
      • The cost is proportionate to the effort required.

    British Airways Fine 2019

    • British Airways was fined £183.4 million in 2019 for a data breach affecting 500,000 customers.
    • The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) found that the airline had not taken adequate security measures to protect personal data.

    Data Protection Legislation Requirements for Large Companies in Case of Security Breaches

    • Data protection legislation requires large companies to implement procedures that allow them to report data breaches to the relevant authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.
    • They need to be able to demonstrate compliance with data protection legislation in a verifiable manner.
    • This requires setting up robust internal processes and ensuring appropriate technical and organizational measures are in place.
