Website security

An encrypted website and web browsers work together to encrypt information you exchange with the site. The key used for the encryption is contained in the site’s security certificate. This protects your login information, credit card numbers, addresses, and other secure data.

Right of access requests must be in writing. There should be a clear responsibility on all employees to pass on anything which might be a subject access request to the appropriate person without delay.

Provision for verifying identity

Where Alastair Derrick, who will managing the access procedure, does not know the individual personally he will request proof of identity before handing over any information.

Charging

The access request information will be provided the free of charge. However, a ‘reasonable fee’ will be charged when a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive. A reasonable fee may be charged to comply with requests for further copies of the same information but does not mean that we will charge for all subsequent access requests.
