Principles of data protection

There are a number of fundamental principles upon which the GDPR is based. These are as follows:

Personal data shall be:

• processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’);
• collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall, in accordance with Article 89(1), not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes (‘purpose limitation’);
• adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (‘data minimisation’);
• accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay (‘accuracy’);
• kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by this Regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject (‘storage limitation’);
• processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures (‘integrity and confidentiality’).
• Freesnaps will ensure that it complies with all of these principles both in the processing it currently carries out and as part of the introduction of new methods of processing such as new IT systems.

Storage of your personal data, sharing your data and international transfers

All personal data held by Freesnaps is stored on secure information systems and servers based inside the UK. We generally do not transfer personal data outside of the UK however, if we do, those transfers of personal data outside the UK or EEA (European Economic Area) will be carefully reviewed prior to the transfer taking place to ensure that they fall within the limits imposed by the GDPR. Freesnaps will always inform data subjects when any international transfer (outside of the UK or EEA) of their data will be taking place, and will outline the legal basis for this process.

Personal data held by Freesnaps is only held for as long as necessary to perform the requirements of service delivery to out customers.

We do not share personal data with partner organisations or customers. If we do need to share information in the future, we will always tell you the organisations and individuals which we intend to share your data before you provide your personal data. Any data collated for the purposes of our services will only be used for that purpose.
