3YOURMIND Data Protection Policy

Why this policy exists

This data protection policy ensures that 3YOURMIND:

• Complies with data protection law and follow good practice
• Protects the rights of their staff, customers and partners
• Is open about how it stores and processes individuals’ data
• Protects itself from the risks of a data breach

EU GDPR

The EU General Data Protection Regulation describes how organisations — including 3YOURMIND— must collect, handle and store personal information. These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or in other formats. To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully. The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles.

These principles state that personal data must:

• Be processed fairly and lawfully
• Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes
• Be adequate, relevant and not excessive
• Be accurate and kept up to date
• Not be held for any longer than necessary
• Be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
• Be protected in an appropriate manner
• Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or territory also ensures an adequate level of protection

People, Risks and Responsibilities

Data Protection Policy scope

Data Storage

These rules describe how and where data should be safely stored. Questions about storing data safely can be directed to the IT manager or data controller.

When data is stored on paper, it must be kept in a secure place where unauthorised people cannot see it. These guidelines also apply to data that is usually stored electronically but has been printed out for some reason:

• When not required, the paper or files should be kept in a locked drawer or filing cabinet.
• Employees must make sure paper and printouts are not left where unauthorised people could see them, like at the printer.
• Data printouts must be shredded and disposed of securely when no longer required.
• When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorised access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts:
• Data must be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly and never shared between employees.
• If data is stored on removable media (like a CD or DVD), these must be kept locked away securely when not being used.
• Data should only be stored on designated drives and servers, and should only be uploaded to an approved cloud computing services.
• Servers containing personal data should be sited in a secure location, away from general office space.
• Data is backed up frequently. Those backups should be tested regularly, in line with the company’s standard backup procedures.
• Data are not saved to not approved devices such as laptops, USB-sticks or other mobile devices like tablets or smartphones.
• All servers and computers containing data are protected by approved security software and a firewall.

Personal Data Use

Personal data is of no value to 3YOURMIND unless the business can make use of it. However, it is when personal data is accessed and used that it can be at the greatest risk of loss, corruption or theft:

• When working with personal data, employees will ensure the screens of their computers are always locked when left unattended.
• Personal data will not be shared informally.
• Data must be encrypted before being transferred electronically. The IT manager can explain how to send data to authorised external contacts.
• Personal data should never be transferred outside of the European Economic Area.
• Employees should not save copies of personal data to their own computers. Always access and update the central copy of any data.

Data Accuracy

The law requires 3YOURMIND to take reasonable steps to ensure data is kept accurate and up to date. The more important it is that the personal data is accurate, the greater the effort 3YOURMIND should put into ensuring its accuracy.

It is the responsibility of all employees who work with data to take reasonable steps to ensure it is kept as accurate and up to date as possible.

• Data will be held in as few places as necessary. Staff should not create any unnecessary additional data sets.
• Staff should take every opportunity to ensure data is updated. For instance, by confirming a customer’s details when they call.
• 3YOURMIND will make it easy for data subjects to update the information 3YOURMIND holds about them. For instance, via the company website.
• Data must be updated as inaccuracies are discovered. For instance, if a customer can no longer be reached on their stored telephone number, it must be removed from the database.
• It is the marketing manager’s responsibility to ensure marketing databases are checked against industry suppression files every six months.

Subject Access Requests

All individuals who are the subject of personal data held by 3YOURMIND are entitled to:

• Ask what information the company holds about them and why.
• Ask how to gain access to it.
• Be informed how to keep it up to date.
• Be informed how the company is meeting its data protection obligations.
• Ask 3YOURMIND to delete all their personal data (right to be forgotten)
• Ask for machine readable copy of their personal data

If an individual contacts the company requesting this information, this is called a subject access request.

Subject access requests from individuals should be made by email, addressed to the data controller at datasecurity@3yourmind.com. The data controller can supply a standard request form, although individuals do not have to use this.

The data controller will provide the relevant data within a reasonable time frame. The data controller will always verify the identity of anyone making a subject access request before handing over any personal information.

Disclosing Data for other Reasons

In certain circumstances, the GDPR allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without the consent of the data subject. Under these circumstances, 3YOURMIND will disclose requested data. However, the data controller will ensure the request is legitimate, seeking assistance from the board and from the company’s legal advisers where necessary.

Providing Information

3YOURMIND aims to ensure that individuals are aware that their data is being processed, and that they understand:

• How the data is being used.
• How to exercise their rights.

To these ends, the company has a privacy statement, setting out how data relating to individuals is used by the company.
