Hardly a week goes by without headlines of lost laptops and memory sticks containing confidential staff and customer data. Are you aware of the rules protecting your employees’ personal data?
Data Protection legislation places obligations on your business to protect the confidential information you hold about your employees and customers. Failing to comply with these obligations can lead to substantial fines from the Information Commissioner.
At Backhouse Solicitors we can advise you on how to stay compliant, including how to respond to a written request from an individual to see information held on them, a so called Subject Access Request. We can also train your staff on how they should protect your customer’s data.
The benefits for you:
- Following the rules properly helps prevent data breaches and fines
- You avoid adverse publicity and harm to your reputation from data breaches
