LEEC LIMITED

On 25^th May 2018, the UK introduced a raft of new data protection legislation, parts of the EU regulation and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation); Data Protection Act 2018 and e-privacy regulations as well as Fees Regulations.

To be compliant with the new legislation and avoid the inevitable fines regime, I have reviewed current measures in place for the Company and its associated companies. I have drafted new texts to take the new requirements into account. The suggested text is in a different font and colour purely for ease of reference.

The Company is aware of the requirement for a “Notification” in place with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), also known as “paying the Fee”. Also, the need for consideration of other companies in the group who hold personal data and/or special category data.

PRIVACY NOTICE “leec.co.uk”

A “Privacy Notice” is now the term for a “Privacy Policy”. This should go on the website under its own tab “Privacy & Cookies”. It is the main Privacy Notice for the company. Others will appear on the footer of emails and forms that collect data. The text below has been drafted utilising the ICO guidance on the matter.

“PRIVACY & COOKIES

LEEC Limited is based at Private Road Number 7, Colwick Industrial Estate, Nottingham, NG4 2AJ.  The company can be contacted through the website where we have a contact page and our contact details. We may process “personal data” and/or “special category personal data”, (as defined in UK data protection legislation), as part of our contracted services, internal processes and for administration. Information is kept while it remains relevant to the reason for collection and/or if there is a statutory retention period. All feasible security measures are in place, whether the data is processed electronically or on paper. 

Data may be shared with third parties as part of the contracted services, for administrative purposes and/or if we are required by law to do so.  We cannot accept any liability for any processing conducted by any third party outside our remit. 

As required by law, a cookie audit has been conducted on our website.  Cookies are internet files utilised by websites. Our website does not utilise cookies which would be considered intrusive. Our site does however link to social media sites such as “X”, formerly known as Twitter, and YouTube, which may place cookies on your system. We also utilise a Google security feature called “reCaptcha” which may place cookies on your system. These cookies are utilised by these systems, and we have no control over their use.     

None of the above affects your rights under the legislation, in particular your right to access the data we may hold on you. If you wish to request a copy of your data, please submit it in writing/email to the Company. Please include enough information to enable us to identify you and search for appropriate data.
