The Premises Studios
The Premises Studios Ltd GDPR Statement May 2018:
Company Registration Number 03241995. Address: 209 Hackney Rd London E2 8JL.
The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on the 25th May 2018 and will impact every organisation which holds or processes personal data. It will introduce new responsibilities, including the need to demonstrate compliance, more stringent enforcement and substantially increased penalties than the current Data Protection Act (DPA) which it will supersede.
In essence, the GPDR puts into practice its six underlying principles to protect the individual and the personally identifiable information (PII) or data.
- Lawfulness, fairness and transparency. Lawful: Processing must meet the tests described in GDPR [article 5, clause 1(a)]. Fair: What is processed must match up with how it has been described. Transparency: Explain to the subject what data processing will be done.
- Purpose limitations: Define what it is being used for and not be used for other purposes.
- Data minimisation: Only store what is required.
- Accuracy: The data is accurate
- Storage limitations: No longer than necessary.
- Integrity and confidentiality: It is held securely and, if stored online or in the cloud, it is encrypted by default.
The Premises Studios Ltd is committed to high standards of information security, privacy and transparency. We place a high priority on protecting and managing data in accordance with accepted standards.
The Premises Studios has been working to meet the GDPR requirements.
To date, the company has:
- Trained all management staff on what GDPR entails and ensured that they understand what data on individuals should be held or not.
- Reviewed all client data held by and on behalf of the company.
- Ensured that the data held is necessary and accurate.
- Ensured that the data is behind several strong security walls at all points and that the cloud servers provide adequate encryption.
- Reviewed all passwords and security on all computers and ensured that all passwords are strong enough to protect data as far as reasonably possible.
- Committed to regular password changes to ensure breaches do not occur.
- The Premises Studios will perform regular data reviews to identify what data is no longer needed and will delete it if necessary.
