Your data protection rights under The Data Protection Act 1998
The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organisations — including Additions Contractors Ltd — must collect, handle and store personal information.
These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.
To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully.
The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. These say that personal data must:
- Be processed fairly and lawfully
- Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes
- Be adequate, relevant and not excessive
- Be accurate and kept up to date
- Not be held for any longer than necessary
- Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
- Be protected in appropriate ways
- Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or territory also ensures an adequate level of protection
How your data is used
Additions Contractors Ltd uses your data to facilitate the processing and payment of any monies owed to you during the course of you working via us or one of our end clients. This information is stored on our secure server and is shared with legitimate Government Bodies, such as HMRC, the Department of Work and Pensions and our pension provider The Peoples Pension.
Right to have your data erased
The UK Data Protection Act introduces a right for individuals to have personal data erased. This right to erasure is also known as “the right to be forgotten”. This right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. Additions Contractors Ltd are governed by HMRC to keep all personal and pay records for 6 years from the end date of the tax year you were paid.
If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.
