immediately <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Data Protection Officer who shall take appropriate<br />

POLICIES & PROCEDURES<br />

The <strong>College</strong> will make a charge <strong>of</strong> £10 (or such o<strong>the</strong>r charge as is<br />

permitted from time <strong>to</strong> time by <strong>the</strong> Data Protection Act 1998) on each<br />

occasion that access is requested and this fee should accompany <strong>the</strong><br />

Access <strong>to</strong> Personal Data form. In accordance with <strong>the</strong> 1998 Act, <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> reserves <strong>the</strong> right <strong>to</strong> refuse repeated requests where a reasonable<br />

period has not elapsed between requests.<br />

The <strong>College</strong> will normally respond <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> request for access <strong>to</strong> personal<br />

data within 40 days (including bank holidays and weekends) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

request or payment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fee, whichever is <strong>the</strong> later.<br />

The provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1998 Act and individuals’ access rights will not<br />

come in<strong>to</strong> effect fully until 23 Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2007. The Freedom <strong>of</strong><br />

Information Act 2000 gives individuals extended rights <strong>of</strong> access in<br />

certain circumstances <strong>to</strong> information which is not held on computer or in<br />

a relevant filing system.<br />

example, <strong>the</strong> names and contact details at <strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> members <strong>of</strong> <strong>staff</strong><br />

on a website may constitute a transfer <strong>of</strong> personal data world wide.<br />

Accordingly, <strong>the</strong> consent form signifies an individual’s consent <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

inclusion <strong>of</strong> such data on an authorised <strong>College</strong> website. If an individual<br />

be given <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bursar.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r personal data, even if it would o<strong>the</strong>rwise constitute fair processing,<br />

must not, unless certain exemptions apply or protective measures are<br />

taken, be disclosed or transferred outside <strong>the</strong> EEA <strong>to</strong> a country or terri<strong>to</strong>ry<br />

which does not ensure an adequate level <strong>of</strong> protection for <strong>the</strong> rights and<br />

freedoms <strong>of</strong> data subjects.<br />
