Data subjects for the purpose of this policy include living clients, living journalists, other living editorial and media contacts and all other living individuals about whom we hold personal data. A data subject need not be a UK national or resident. All data subjects have legal rights in relation to their personal information.

DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

Anyone processing personal data must comply with the eight enforceable principles of good practice. These provide that personal data must be:

• Processed fairly and lawfully.
• Processed for limited purposes and in an appropriate way.
• Adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purpose.
• Not kept longer than necessary for the purpose.
• Processed in line with data subjects 'rights.
• Not transferred to people or organizations situated in countries without adequate protection.

FAIR AND LAWFULPROCESSING

• The Act and the GDPR are not intended to prevent the processing of personal data, but to ensure that it is done fairly and without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject.
• For personal data to be processed lawfully, it must be processed on the basis of one of the legal grounds set out in the Act and the GDPR. These include, among other things, the data subject's consent to the processing, or that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject, for the compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject, or for the legitimate interest of the data controller or the party to whom the data is disclosed.
• When we collect and process personal data, we do so only in the pursuit of and in accordance with the real and present legitimate interests of our business and taking into consideration the fundamental rights and freedoms of the relevant data subjects, in particular:
• our collection and processing of personal data is limited to the specific purposes set out in the Schedule or to any other purposes specifically permitted by the Act or the GDPR;
• we always endeavor to notify data subjects of our collection and processing of personal data in accordance with this policy; and
• data subjects have the right to request that we not collect and process their personal data at any time in accordance with this policy.
• When sensitive personal data is being processed, additional conditions must be met. When processing personal data as data controllers in the course of our business, we will ensure that those requirements are met.

PROCESSING FOR LIMITED PURPOSES

• In the course of our business, we may collect and process the personal data set out in the Schedule. This may include data we receive directly from a data subject (for example, by completing forms or by corresponding with us by mail, phone, email or otherwise) and data we receive from other sources (including, for example, social media accounts, publisher websites, business partners and others).
• We will only process personal data for the specific purposes set out in the Schedule or for any other purposes specifically permitted by the Act or the GDPR. We will always endeavor to notify those purposes to the data subject when we first collect the data or as soon as possible thereafter.

NOTIFYING DATA SUBJECTS

• If we collect or process personal data, we will always endeavor to inform them about:
• The source from which we obtained their personal data;
• The purpose or purposes for which we intend to process that personal data;
• The types of third parties, if any, with which we will share or to which we will disclose that personal data; and
• The means, if any, with which data subjects can limit or prevent our use and disclosure of their personal data.
• We will also inform data subjects whose personal data we process that we are the data controller with regard to that data.

ADEQUATE, RELEVANT AND NON-EXCESSIVE PROCESSING

We will only collect personal data to the extent that it is required for the specific purpose notified to the data subject.

ACCURATE DATA

We will ensure that personal data we hold is accurate and kept up to date. We will check the accuracy of any personal data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or out-of-date data.

TIMELY PROCESSING

We will not keep personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which they were collected. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy, or erase from our systems, all data which is no longer required.

• We will put in place organizational and technical measures to maintain the security of all personal data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. Personal data will only be transferred to a data processor if he agrees to comply with those organizational and technical measures, or if he puts in place adequate measures himself.
• We will maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data, defined as follows:
• Confidentiality means that only people who are authorized to use the data can access it.
• Integrity means that personal data should be accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.
• Availability means that authorized users should be able to access the data if they need it for authorized purposes. Personal data will normally be stored on our central computer system instead of individual PCs.

• Security procedures include:
• Entry controls. Rhino Rugby staff can only access the company’s facilities with a key and an alarm code. Guests are accompanied and may only use guest WiFi which prevents access to internal company systems.
• Secure lockable cupboards. Cupboards should be kept locked if they hold confidential information of any kind. (Personal information is always considered confidential.)
• Methods of disposal. Paper documents should be shredded. Digital storage devices should be physically destroyed when they are no longer required.
