4.6.7 DUCRAY LENOIR’s compliance with this principle is more fully contained in its Information Security Policy.

4.7 Accountability and compliance

4.7.1 DUCRAY LENOIR will at all times promote good governance and demonstrate its accountability in respect of data protection principles.

4.7.4 DUCRAY LENOIR intends to carry out regular DPIAs as well as reviews of its policies, procedures, technical and organisational measures and to update the same in order to always better safeguard the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects.

4.7.5 In that respect, DUCRAY LENOIR encourages its customers and the public at large to provide and to communicate to it regular feedbacks on the manner in which it treats and protects personal data.

4.7.6 All such feedbacks are to be addressed to DUCRAY LENOIR’s Data Protection Officer whose contact details are set out at paragraph 3.3 above.

5.1 DUCRAY LENOIR wishes to most unequivocally inform Data Subjects at large that they have the following rights regarding data processing, and the data that is recorded by DUCRAY LENOIR about them:

a. to make subject access requests regarding the nature of information held and to whom it has been disclosed;
b. to prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress;
c. to prevent processing for purposes of direct marketing;
d. to be informed about the mechanics of automated decision-taking process that will significantly affect them;
e. not to have significant decisions that will affect them taken solely by automated process;
f. to sue for compensation if they suffer damage by any contravention of the GDPR and/or the DPA;
g. to act to rectify, block, erase, including the right to be forgotten, or destroy inaccurate data;

5.2 DUCRAY LENOIR will further ensure that Data Subjects may exercise the aforesaid rights as follows: -Data Subjects may make data access requests; and -Data Subjects have the right to complain to DUCRAY LENOIR in relation to the processing of their personal data, the handling of a request and appeals on how complaints have been handled by DUCRAY LENOIR.

6.1 DUCRAY LENOIR understands ‘consent’ to mean that it has been explicitly and freely given, and is a specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the Data Subject’s wishes that, by statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her. The Data Subjects can withdraw their consent at any time.

6.2 As and when required as per either the GDPR or the DPA, consent requests will be separate from other terms and conditions and will not be a precondition of signing up to a service unless it is necessary for that service.

6.3 When requesting Data Subjects to give their consent to a particular processing operation, DUCRAY LENOIR will not use pre-ticked opt-in boxes. Only unticked opt in boxes or similar active opt-in methods will be used.

6.4 Furthermore, DUCRAY LENOIR will at all times give Data Subjects granular options to consent separately to different types of processing wherever appropriate.

6.5 Also, DUCRAY LENOIR will always keep records of consents given by Data Subjects in order to show what they have consented to, including what they were told, and when and how they consented.

6.6 DUCRAY LENOIR also understands ‘consent’ to mean that the Data Subject has been fully informed of the intended processing and has signified his or her agreement, while in a fit state of mind to do so and without pressure being exerted upon them. Consent obtained under duress or on the basis of misleading information will not be a valid basis for processing.

6.7 At no point in time will DUCRAY LENOIR imply that consent has been given. Consent will not be inferred from non-response to a communication

6.8 For the processing of Sensitive Personal Data or Special Categories Personal Data, DUCRAY LENOIR will invariably request and obtain explicit written consents of Data Subjects prior to processing the same unless an alternative legitimate basis for processing exists under either the GDPR or the DPA.

7.1 All the employees of DUCRAY LENOIR are responsible for ensuring that any personal data that DUCRAY LENOIR holds and for which they are responsible, is kept securely and is not under any conditions disclosed to any third party unless that third party has been specifically authorised by DUCRAY LENOIR to receive that information. In that respect, DUCRAY LENOIR has entered into confidentiality agreements such as Non-Disclosure Agreements with its employees.

7.2 All personal data will be accessible only to those employees of DUCRAY LENOIR who need to use it. All personal data will be treated by DUCRAY LENOIR with the highest security and will be kept:

  • in a lockable room with controlled access; and/or
  • in a locked drawer or filing cabinet; and/or
  • if computerised, password protected; and/or
  • stored on (removable) computer media which are encrypted.

7.3 Upmost care will be taken to ensure that PC screens and terminals at DUCRAY LENOIR are not visible except to authorised employees of DUCRAY LENOIR.
7.4 Manual records will not be left where they can be accessed by unauthorised personnel and will not be removed from business premises without explicit authorisation. As soon as manual records are no longer required for day-to-day client support, they will be removed from secure archiving.

7.5 Personal data will only be deleted or disposed of in line with DUCRAY LENOIR’s Retention of Records Procedure. Manual records that have reached their retention date will be shredded and disposed of. Hard drives of redundant PCs will be removed and immediately destroyed before disposal.

7.6 As the processing of personal data ‘off-site’ presents a potentially greater risk of loss, theft or damage to personal data, DUCRAY LENOIR staff will, in exceptional circumstances and only for the legitimate interests of DUCRAY LENOIR’s business, have to be specifically authorised to process data off-site.

8.1 DUCRAY LENOIR will ensure that personal data is not disclosed to unauthorised third parties without the consent of the Data Subject concerned save and except if the information is required for one or more of the following purposes:
a. the furtherance of the legitimate interests of DUCRAY LENOIR and its business activities;

i. the protection of the vital interests of an individual.

9.2 DUCRAY LENOIR may store data for longer periods if the personal data will be processed solely for:
a. archiving purposes in the public interest;
b. scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes; and/or
c. any of the reasons set out in paragraph 8.1 above; subject to the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the Data Subjects concerned.

9.3 Where personal data needs to be disposed of, DUCRAY LENOIR will do so securely in accordance with the principle set out in paragraph 4.6 above, thereby protecting the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects.

10.1 As a rule, personal data lawfully collected by DUCRAY LENOIR from a particular jurisdiction (‘the Original Jurisdiction’) shall not be transferred to a jurisdiction other than the Original Jurisdiction (‘Other Jurisdiction’) unless DUCRAY LENOIR is satisfied that there is an appropriate level of protection for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subjects in the Other Jurisdiction similar to the level of protection afforded in the Original Jurisdiction (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Adequacy Test’).

10.2 In carrying out the Adequacy Test, DUCRAY LENOIR will consider the following factors:

  • the nature of the information being transferred to the Other Jurisdiction;
  • the data protection laws of the Original Jurisdiction and the data protection laws, codes of practice and international obligations if any, of the Other Jurisdiction;
  • how the information will be used on the Other Jurisdiction and for how long;
  • the security measures that are to be taken as regards the data in the Other Jurisdiction; and
  • whether the data protection supervisory authority of the Original Jurisdiction approves or prohibits such transfer of data to the Other Jurisdiction.

10.3 Should DUCRAY LENOIR not be satisfied by the level of data protection afforded in the Other Jurisdiction after carrying out the Adequacy Test, DUCRAY LENOIR will not transfer the data to the Other Jurisdiction unless:

a. the Data Subject concerned has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers for the Data Subject due to the absence of appropriate safeguards;
b. the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the Data Subject concerned and DUCRAY LENOIR or the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the Data Subject’s request;
c. the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in the interest of the Data Subject concerned between DUCRAY LENOIR and another natural or legal person;
d. the transfer is necessary for important reasons of public interest;
e. the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims involving and/or impacting on DUCRAY LENOIR; and/or
f. the transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the Data Subject or of other persons, where the Data Subject is physically or legally incapable of giving consent.

11.1 DUCRAY LENOIR has established a data inventory and data flow process as part of its approach to address risks and opportunities throughout its GDPR and DPA compliance project.

11.2 DUCRAY LENOIR’s data inventory and data flow relate to:
a. its business processes that use personal data;
b. its sources of personal data;
c. the categories of Data Subjects whose data are processed by it;
d. the categories of personal data it processes;
e. its data processing activities;
f. the documents it uses for its compliance with the GDPR and DPA;
g. the recipients and potential recipients of the personal data it processes;
h. the roles of its Data Protection Officer and other employees are responsible for all data protection issues; and
i. any data transfers.

11.3 DUCRAY LENOIR is aware of risks associated with the processing of particular types of personal data and the level of risks to individuals associated with the processing of their personal data.

11.4 Consequently, DPIAs will be carried out every year in relation to the processing of personal data by DUCRAY LENOIR, and in relation to processing undertaken by other organisations on behalf of DUCRAY LENOIR.

11.5 DUCRAY LENOIR shall manage the risks identified by the DPIAs in order to reduce the likelihood of a non-conformance with this General Data Protection Policy.

11.6 Where a type of processing, in particular using new technologies and considering the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, DUCRAY LENOIR shall, prior to the processing, carry out a DPIA of the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data. A single DPIA may address a set of similar processing operations that present similar high risks.

11.7 Where, as a result of a DPIA it is clear that DUCRAY LENOIR is about to commence processing of personal data that could cause damage and/or distress to Data Subjects, the decision as to whether or not DUCRAY LENOIR may proceed must be escalated for review to its Data Protection Officer and/or its Board of Directors as the case may be. The latter shall, if there are significant concerns, either as to the potential damage or distress, or the quantity of data concerned, escalate the matter to the supervisory authority.
