Data Protection

Haringey Council holds personal information about its residents for a number of reasons. The main reason is to ensure that we provide you with efficient and effective services. All the information we hold about you is protected under the Data Protection Act 1998.

What is the Data Protection Act 1998?

The Data Protection Act is the legal framework that ensures your personal information is used fairly and lawfully.

By law, all organisations that hold information about you must follow the eight principles set out in the Act. These principles make sure your rights are protected and state that all information must:

• Be processed fairly and lawfully and only if certain conditions are met.
• Be obtained for specified and lawful purposes.
• Be adequate, relevant and not excessive.
• Be accurate and where necessary kept up to date.
• Not be kept any longer than necessary.
• Be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects.
• Be kept secure.
• Not be transferred abroad, unless to countries with adequate data protection laws.

For further information about Data Protection, please see the documents in the Attached Files section below. (SAR = Subject Access Request - ie a request for protected information or data about an individual).
