DATA SECURITY

Horsham & Shipley Community Project has identified the following potential key risks:

  • breach of confidentiality (information being given out inappropriately);
  • individuals being insufficiently informed about the use of their data;
  • misuse of personal information by trustees or session leaders;
  • failure to up-date records promptly;
  • poor IT security; and
  • direct, or indirect, inadvertent, or deliberate unauthorised access.

In order to ensure the safety of the data held, Horsham & Shipley Community Project has identified and put into place the following safeguards:

 Hardcopy security

Only the necessary information is held in paper form by session leaders.  This is the data which would be required in case of an emergency – emergency contact details and health details.  That data is held by the session leaders in closed folders so that it is not generally visible, but is readily accessible to him/her if needed in an emergency.

Paper-based data that is no longer required is securely and properly destroyed.

This information is always stored securely, all access to personal data and sensitive personal data is restricted to those who have a legitimate requirement for access.

We will only request and store personal information that is necessary and used for a specific purpose.  We do not transfer data to third parties without the express consent of the individual concerned.

The responsibility to maintain data security is included in the data protection training which session leaders are required to undertake.

Access to data is immediately withdrawn if the session leader ceases their work with the organisation.

 Technical security

All electronic data is stored on a password protected computer and files containing personal data are individually password protected.

Virus protection software is regularly updated, and general software updates are completed promptly.

Personal data is never transferred using portable storage devices.

All electronic data is backed up to Dropbox with access only to the Data Controllers.

Asking to see the data we hold on you (subject access requests):
