INTRODUCTION TVC Parts takes the safeguarding of personal data very seriously. This policy describes how TVC Parts meets its obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation in relation to the processing of personal data.
Personal data protection principles We adhere to the principles relating to Processing of Personal Data set out in the GDPR which require Personal Data to be: (a) Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner (Lawfulness, Fairness and Transparency). (b) Collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes (Purpose Limitation). (c) Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is Processed (Data Minimisation). (d) Accurate and where necessary kept up to date (Accuracy). (e) Not kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is Processed (Storage Limitation). (f) Processed in a manner that ensures its security using appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful Processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage (Security, Integrity and Confidentiality). (g) Not transferred to another country without appropriate safeguards being in place (Transfer Limitation). (h) Made available to Data Subjects and Data Subjects allowed to exercise certain rights in relation to their Personal Data (Data Subject’s Rights and Requests). We are responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with the data protection principles listed above (Accountability).
12.3 Training and audit
We are required to ensure all TVC Parts Personnel have undergone adequate training to enable them to comply with data privacy laws. We must also regularly test our systems and processes to assess compliance.
You must undergo all mandatory data privacy related training and ensure your team undergo similar mandatory training.
You must regularly review all the systems and processes under your control to ensure they comply with this Data Protection Policy and check that adequate governance controls and resources are in place to ensure proper use and protection of Personal Data.
12.4 Privacy By Design and Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
We are required to implement Privacy by Design measures when Processing Personal Data by implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures (like Pseudonymisation) in an effective manner, to ensure compliance with data privacy principles.
You must assess what Privacy by Design measures can be implemented on all programs/systems/processes that Process Personal Data by taking into account the following:
(a) the state of the art;
(b) the cost of implementation;
(c) the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing; and
(d) The risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of Data Subjects posed by the Processing.
Data controllers must also conduct DPIAs in respect to high risk Processing.
You should conduct a DPIA (and discuss your findings with the DPCO) when implementing major system or business change programs involving the Processing of Personal Data including:
(e) use of new technologies (programs, systems or processes), or changing technologies (programs, systems or processes);
(f) Automated Processing including profiling and ADM;
(g) large scale Processing of Sensitive Data; and
(h) Large scale, systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area.
A DPIA must include:
(i) a description of the Processing, its purposes and the Data Controller’s legitimate interests if appropriate;
(j) an assessment of the necessity and proportionality of the Processing in relation to its purpose;
(k) an assessment of the risk to individuals; and
(l) The risk mitigation measures in place and demonstration of compliance.
12.5 Automated Processing (including profiling) and Automated Decision-Making Generally, ADM is prohibited when a decision has a legal or similar significant effect on an individual unless: (a) a Data Subject has Explicitly Consented; (b) the Processing is authorised by law; or (c) The Processing is necessary for the performance of or entering into a contract. If certain types of Sensitive Data are being processed, then grounds (b) or (c) will not be allowed but such Sensitive Data can be Processed where it is necessary (unless less intrusive means can be used) for substantial public interest like fraud prevention. If a decision is to be based solely on Automated Processing (including profiling), then Data Subjects must be informed when you first communicate with them of their right to object. This right must be explicitly brought to their attention and presented clearly and separately from other information. Further, suitable measures must be put in place to safeguard the Data Subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests. We must also inform the Data Subject of the logic involved in the decision making or profiling, the significance and envisaged consequences and give the Data Subject the right to request human intervention, express their point of view or challenge the decision. A DPIA must be carried out before any Automated Processing (including profiling) or ADM activities are undertaken.
12.6 Sharing Personal Data
Generally we are not allowed to share Personal Data with third parties unless certain safeguards and contractual arrangements have been put in place.
You may only share the Personal Data we hold with another employee or agent if the recipient has a job-related need to know the information and the transfer complies with any applicable cross-border transfer restrictions.
You may only share the Personal Data we hold with third parties, such as our service providers if:
(a) they have a need to know the information for the purposes of providing the contracted services;
(b) sharing the Personal Data complies with the Privacy Notice provided to the Data Subject and, if required, the Data Subject’s Consent has been obtained;
(c) the third party has agreed to comply with the required data security standards, policies and procedures and put adequate security measures in place;
(d) the transfer complies with any applicable cross border transfer restrictions; and
(e) A fully executed written contract that contains GDPR approved third party clauses has been obtained.
