Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Just IT needs to collect, use and share personal information about employees, workers, secondees, contractors, job applicants, learners, candidates, customers and clients in order to deliver services, exercise its responsibilities and duties of care as an employer and provider of education and fulfil its legal and contractual obligations. In doing so Just IT must comply with the UK Data Protection Act, 1998, GDPR, 2018, and equivalent legislation. These laws requires Just IT to protect personal information and control how it is used in accordance with the legal rights of the data subjects – the individuals whose personal data is held.

All employees, workers, secondees, contractors, job applicants, learners, candidates, customers and clients and other data subjects are entitled to know:

  • What information Just IT holds and processes about them and why.
  • How to gain access to it.
  • How to keep it up to date or request its deletion.
  • What Just IT is doing to comply with its legal obligations under privacy law.

2. Purpose

This policy and its supporting procedures and guidance aim to ensure that Just IT complies with its obligations as a Data Controller under the UK Data Protection Act, 1998 and GDPR, 2018, and processes all personal data in compliance with the Data Protection Principles which are set out in the Act.

In summary, these state that personal data shall:

  • Be obtained and processed fairly and lawfully and shall not be processed unless certain conditions are met.
  • Be obtained for a specified and lawful purpose and shall not be processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose.
  • Be adequate, relevant and not excessive for those purposes.
  • Be accurate and kept up to date.
  • Not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose.
  • Be processed in accordance with the data subjects’ rights.
  • Be kept safe from unauthorised access, accidental or deliberate loss or destruction.
  • Not be transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area, unless that country has equivalent levels of protection for personal data.

In order to manage these risks, this policy sets out responsibilities for all managers, staff and contractors and anyone else that can access or use personal data in their work for Just IT.

The policy also sets out a framework of governance and accountability for data protection compliance across Just IT. This incorporates all policies and procedures that are required to protect Just IT information by maintaining:

  • Confidentiality: protecting information from unauthorised access and disclosure
  • Integrity: safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and preventing its unauthorised amendment or deletion.
  • Availability: ensuring that information and associated services are available to authorised users whenever and wherever required.

3. Objectives

Just IT will apply the Data Protection Principles to the management of all personal data throughout the information life cycle by adopting the following policy objectives.

We will:

3.1 Apply “privacy by design” principles when developing and managing information systems containing personal data.

This means that we will:

  • Use proportionate privacy impact assessment to identify and mitigate data protection risks at an early stage of project and process design for all new or updated systems and processes that present privacy concerns and in managing upgrades or enhancements to systems used to process personal data.
  • Adopt data minimisation: we will collect, disclose and retain the minimum personal data for the minimum time necessary for the purpose.
  • Anonymise personal data wherever necessary and appropriate, for instance when using it for statistical purposes.

3.2 Process personal data fairly and lawfully

This means that we will:

  • Only collect and use personal data in accordance with the conditions set down under the Data Protection Act and GDPR legislation.
  • Ensure that if we collect someone’s personal data for one purpose, we will not reuse their data for a different purpose that the individual did not agree to or expect.
  • Treat people fairly by using their personal data for purposes and in a way that they would reasonably expect.

3.3 Seek informed consent when it is appropriate to do so

This means that we will seek the consent of individuals to collect and use their personal data

  • Whenever the law requires us to do so, or
  • Where their consent will be specific, informed and freely given.

In some circumstances, it is not appropriate to seek an individual’s consent to process their data. For instance:

  • Where we are required to process personal data by law, for instance to comply with Home Office immigration rules, or
  • Where we disclose personal data to the police to assist a criminal investigation and seeking the individual’s consent would frustrate the purpose of the investigation by tipping off a suspect.
  • Where we need to process someone’s personal data to fulfil a contract or our legitimate purposes, such as conducting examinations and assessments, and the individual cannot reasonably refuse or withdraw consent.

We will explain:

  • What personal data collection is voluntary and why and the consequences of not providing it.
  • What personal data collection is mandatory and why we are entitled or obliged to process their data, for instance as a condition of employment or enrolment on a programme of study.

3.4 Inform data subjects what we are doing with their personal data

This means that, at the point that we directly collect personal data (i.e. not through a 3rd party data provider), we will explain in a clear and accessible way;

  • What personal data we collect.
  • For what purposes.
  • Why we need it.
  • How we use it.
  • How we will protect their personal data.
  • To whom we may disclose it and why.
  • Where relevant, what personal data we publish and why.
  • How data subjects can update their personal data that we hold.
  • How long we intend to retain it.

We will publish this information, tailored for employees, workers, secondees, contractors, job applicants, learners, candidates, customers, clients and other groups of people on our website and where appropriate in printed formats. We will review the content of these Privacy Notices regularly to ensure they comply with the latest legislation and expectations. We will provide simple and secure ways for our students, staff and other data subjects to update the information that we hold about them such as home addresses. Where we process personal data to keep people informed about Just IT activities and events we will provide in each communication a simple way of opting out of further marketing communications.

In this way we will provide accountability for our use of personal data and demonstrate that we will manage people’s data in accordance with their rights and expectations.

3.5 Uphold individual’s rights as data subjects

This means that we will uphold their rights to:

  • Access a copy of the information comprising their personal data, responding to requests for their own personal data (subject access requests) in a fair, friendly and timely manner.
  • Request that their data is deleted, responding to this request in a fair, friendly and timely manner.
  • Object to processing that is likely to cause or is causing unwarranted and substantial damage or distress.
  • Prevent processing for direct marketing.
  • Object to decisions being taken by automated means.
  • Have inaccurate personal data rectified, blocked, erased or destroyed in certain circumstances.
  • Claim compensation for damages caused by a breach of the UK Data Protection Act.

3.6 Protect personal data

This means that we will:

  • Control access to personal data so that staff, contractors and other people working on Just IT business can only see such personal data as is necessary for them to fulfil their duties.
  • Require all Just IT employees, workers, secondees, contractors and others who have access to personal data in the course of their work to complete basic data protection training, supplemented as appropriate by procedures and guidance relevant to their specific roles.
  • Set and monitor compliance with security standards for the management of personal data as part of our wider framework of information security policies and procedures
  • Provide appropriate tools for employees, workers, secondees, contractors and others to use and communicate personal data securely and when working away from Just IT when their duties require this, for instance through provision of secure virtual private network, encryption and cloud solutions.
  • Take all reasonable steps to ensure that all suppliers, contractors, agents and other external bodies and individuals who process personal data for Just IT enter into our Data Processor Agreements and comply with auditable security controls to protect the data, in compliance with our Procedures for approving, monitoring and reviewing personal data processing agreements.
  • Maintain Data Sharing Agreements with partners and other external bodies with whom we may need to share employees, workers, secondees, contractors, learners, candidates and others personal data to deliver shared services or joint projects to ensure proper governance, accountability and control over the use of such data.
  • Ensure that our learners and candidates are aware of how privacy law applies to their use of personal data in the course of their studies and how they can take appropriate steps to protect their own personal data and respect the privacy of others.
  • Manage all subject access and third party requests for personal information about employees, workers, secondees, contractors, learners and other data subjects in accordance with our Procedures for responding to requests for personal data.
  • Make appropriate and timeous arrangements to ensure the confidential destruction of personal data in all media and formats when it is no longer required for Just IT business.

3.7 Retain personal data only as long as required

This means that we will:

  • Apply the Just IT records retention policies relevant to each professional service function.
  • Keep records locally only as long as required in accordance with these policies and then;
  • Destroy them securely in a manner appropriate to their format, or
  • Transfer them by arrangement for longer term storage or archival preservation.

Some Just IT records containing personal data are designated for permanent retention as archives for historical and statistical purposes. When managing access to archives containing personal data we will:

  • Apply exemptions to public rights of access to information as appropriate in accordance with the data subjects’ rights to privacy.
  • Redact personal data, or
  • Withhold specific categories of record, such as employee records, for the lifetime of the employee and their identifiable next of kin.
