The EU European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) standardises data protection laws and processing across the EU; affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.
The UK Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA”) is the UK's implementation of the GDPR which came into force across the European Union on 25th May 2018 and brought with it the most significant changes to data protection law in two decades. The GDPR also gives member states limited opportunities to make provisions for how the law applies in their country; these are covered by the DPA. All references to data protection law relate to the GDPR, and consequently to the DPA, unless otherwise stated.
OX365 Limited (‘OX365’ ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) are committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process, and to provide a compliant and consistent approach to data protection. We have a robust and effective data protection program in place which complies with existing law and abides by the data protection principles laid out in the GDPR. We recognise our obligations in updating and expanding this program to meet the demands of the UK’s Data Protection Act and the GDPR.
OX365 are dedicated to safeguarding the personal information under our remit and operate a data protection regime that is effective, fit for purpose and demonstrates an understanding of, and appreciation for, the GDPR. Our objectives for data protection compliance are summarised in this statement and include the development and implementation of new data protection roles, policies, procedures, controls and measures to ensure maximum and ongoing compliance.
