At Mini Parcels Logistics Ltd (Mini Parcels) we take Data Protection seriously and have updated all of our relevant policies, procedures and documents to ensure we meet the requirements of the Data Protection Laws (Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR and EU GDPR).
This Privacy Notice will inform you what personal information we collect from you, how we use it, how long we hold it for, who we share it with, and how we look after it.
Data Protection Principles
Article 5 of the UK GDPR sets out seven key principles which lie at the heart of the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
An organisation has to advise Data Subjects what data processing will be done and what is processed must match up with how it has been described. There must be a lawful basis for all processing and that must be explained. The transparent way for an organisation to comply with this principle is by making a PRIVACY NOTICE available.
Purpose limitations – specific, explicit and legitimate
Personal data can only be obtained for “specified, explicit and legitimate purposes” and personal data can only be used for a specific processing purpose that the Data Subject has been made aware of and no other, without further consent unless there is another legal basis to do so.
Data minimisation
Personal data collected about a Data Subject should be “adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary”‘ in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. In other words, no more than the minimum amount of personal data should be processed or kept for specific processing.
Accurate and up to date
Personal data must be accurate and where necessary kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, is erased or rectified without delay.
Not kept for longer than is necessary
Personal data must be kept in a form that permits identification of Data Subjects for no longer than necessary and data no longer required should be removed.
Security (organisational and technical)
The UK GDPR requires Data Controllers and Data Processors to handle personal data in a manner ensuring appropriate organisational and technical security of the personal data including protection against unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage.
Accountability
The UK GDPR requires Data Controllers and Data Processors to be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate compliance with its obligations under the provisions of the Data Protection Laws.
