Data Protection
The Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998 regulates the use of personal information within all organisations, including The New Art Gallery Walsall (TNAGW). It also creates a legal right for individuals to request access to their personal information. The DPA states that any organisation which processes personal information must be open about how that information is used and must comply with eight data protection principles. These eight rules require personal data to be:

  1. Processed fairly and lawfully
  2. Processed only for specified and lawful purposes
  3. Adequate, relevant and not excessive
  4. Accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date
  5. Not kept longer than necessary
  6. Processed in accordance with an individual’s rights under the Act
  7. Kept secure
  8. Not transferred to non-European Economic Area (EEA) countries without adequate protection

 

The DPA also gives individuals rights to:

  • Gain access to their data
  • Seek compensation for damage or distress caused by their data not being processed in accordance with the Act
  • Prevent their data being processed in certain circumstances
  • Opt out of having their data used for direct marketing at any time

Under the DPA, you can ask to see any personal information that we hold about you.
