Privacy Policy


Background


On 25 May 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force. The regulations now operate across the EU and supplement the existing Data Protection Act (DPA). More about the GDPR and its relationship to the DPA can be found on the website of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/ The ICO is the body responsible for implementing the legislation.

The general thrust of the GDPR gives extra duties to organisations, such as RACB, which hold personal data [1] and extra safeguards to those members of the public, such as RACB drivers, whose personal data is held. Organisations holding personal data are called Data Controllers [2].

The purpose of this Personal Data Collection, Handling, Processing and Storage Statement is to explain how the RACB obtains and manages personal data for which it is Data Controller as well as to set out its general approach to compliance with the GDPR.

This Statement should be read in conjunction with the Risborough Area Community Bus (RACB) General Data Protection Policy and has been produced to enable subscribers to the RACB website to be aware of how RACB will collect, handle, process and store their personal data.
