Privacy Notice – Bradford UNESCO City of Film

CHANGES TO DATA PROTECTION LEGISLATION

New data protection legislation will come into force on the 25th May 2018 and will replace the current UK Data Protection Act. The new General Data Protection Regulation provides a modernised, accountability-based compliance framework for data protection in Europe. It is intended to strengthen privacy rights in relation to personal information.

The new accountability principle in Article 5(2) of the GDPR requires data controllers to demonstrate that they comply with the good practice principles set out in the Regulation and states explicitly that this is their responsibility.

This Notice sets out most of your rights under the new laws.

Further information about the new law can be found on the Information Commissioners website: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-reform/overview-of-the-gdpr/
