Data Protection Policy
Personal information must be handled properly under the Data Protection
Act 1998 (‘the Act’). The Act regulates the way that we handle ‘personal
data’ that we collect in the course of carrying out our functions and
gives certain rights to people whose ‘personal data’ we may hold. We consider
that the correct treatment of personal data is integral to our successful
operations and to maintaining trust of the persons we deal with. We fully
appreciate the underlying principles of the Act and support and adhere
to its provisions. We are registered with the Information Commissioner
to process personal data. We are named as a data controller under the
register kept by the Information Commissioner in accordance with section
19 of the Act. Information covered by the Act The Act uses the term ‘personal
data’. For information held by the Arts Council, personal data essentially
means any recorded information held by us and from which a living individual
can be identified. It will include a variety of information including
names, addresses, telephone numbers, photographs of people and other personal
details. It will include any expression of opinion about a living individual
or any indication of our intentions about that individual. Data protection
principles We will comply with the eight enforceable data protection principles
by making sure that personal data is: fairly and lawfully processed processed

be transferred has adequate protection for the individuals Conditions

we process any personal data: the individual has consented to the processing

vital interests of the individual the processing is necessary to carry
out public functions eg. administration of justice the processing is necessary
in order to pursue our legitimate interests Under the Act, one of a set
of additional conditions must be met for ‘sensitive personal data’. We
do not propose to collect ‘sensitive personal data’. This includes information
about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and other
beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health condition,
sex life, criminal proceedings or convictions. Individuals’ rights We
will ensure that individuals are given their rights under the Act including:
the right to obtain their personal information from us except in limited
circumstances the right to ask us not to process personal data where it
causes substantial unwarranted damage to them or anyone else the right
to claim compensation from us for damage and distress caused by any breach
of the Act Legal requirements While it is unlikely, Arts Gateway MK may
be required to disclose your user data by a court order or to comply with
other legal requirements. We will use all reasonable endeavours to notify
