  5. Fair and lawful processing
    1. The Act is not intended to prevent the processing of personal data, but to ensure that personal data is processed fairly and without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject.
    2. For personal data to be processed lawfully, the data must be processed on the basis of one of the legal grounds set out in the Act. 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 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.
  6. Processing for limited purposes

  11. Dealing with subject access requests

    Data subjects may make a formal request for the information we hold about them. This request must be made in writing and may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing the information we hold on the data subjects.

  12. Data security
    1. We will take appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data.
    2. We will put in place procedures and technologies 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 procedures and policies, or if he puts in place adequate measures himself.
    3. We will maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data, defined as follows:
      1. Confidentiality means that only people who are authorised to use the data can access it.
      2. Integrity means that personal data should be accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.
      3. Availability means that authorised users should be able to access the data if they need it for authorised purposes. Personal data should therefore be stored on the Transpaygo Limited’s central computer system instead of individual PCs.
    4. Security procedures include:
      1. Entry controls. Any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas should be reported.
      2. Secure lockable desks and cupboards. Desks and cupboards should be kept locked if they hold confidential information of any kind. Personal information is always considered confidential.
      3. Methods of disposal. Paper documents should be shredded. Digital storage devices should be physically destroyed when they are no longer required.
      4. Equipment. Data users must ensure that individual monitors do not show confidential information to passers-by and that they log off from their PC when it is left unattended.
  13. Disclosure and sharing of personal information
    1. We may share personal data we hold with selected third parties including, business associates, clients, contractors, payment and delivery services, credit reference agencies, banks and other financial institutions, debt collection, tracing agencies, credit reference agencies, government agencies, regulatory bodies, others professional advisers, current, past or prospective employers and service providers for the Specific Purposes.
    2. We may also disclose personal data we hold to third parties:
      1. in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose personal data we hold to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
      2. if we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data we hold will be one of the transferred assets; or
      3. if we are under a duty to disclose or share a data subject's personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply any contract with the data subject or other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety of our employees, contractors, clients, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
