Is my personal information safe with VetRecruit?
The Data Protection Act gives individuals the right to know what information is held about them and provides a framework to ensure that personal information is handled properly.
The Act works in two ways. Firstly, it states that anyone who processes personal information must comply with eight principles, which make sure that personal information is:
| - | | Fairly and lawfully processed |
| - | | Processed for limited purposes |
| - | | Adequate, relevant and not excessive |
| - | | Accurate and up-to-date |
| - | | Not kept for longer than is necessary |
| - | | Processed in line with your rights |
| - | | Secure |
| - | | Not transferred to other countries without adequate protection |
The second area covered by the Act provides individuals with important rights, including the right to find out what personal information is held on computer and most paper records.
VetRecruit Ltd takes great care to handle your personal details in accordance with the Data Protection Act. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information. Should you feel at any time you are being denied access to personal information you are entitled to, or feel your information is incorrect or has not been handled properly, please contact us by email or letter and we will do our very best to rectify the situation.
