(B)  u4c Data Protection Policy

Please read carefully before downloading or using u4c Tutorials, u4c Resource files, u4c Wand© files or u4c Intropack files.

  1. Introduction

This Policy sets out the obligations of u4c4seconds Limited (“u4c4s”) regarding data protection and the rights of u4Intropack applicants, u4c Membership applicants, u4c Members, u4Third-Party User Licence (TPUL) applicants, u4Third-Party User Licence (TPUL) holders  (“data subjects”) in respect of their personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (“the Regulation”).

The Regulation defines “personal data” as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a data subject); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

This Policy sets out the procedures that are to be followed when dealing with personal data.  The procedures and principles set out herein must be followed at all times by u4c4s, its employees, agents, contractors, or other parties working on behalf of u4c4s.

u4c4is committed not only to the letter of the law, but also to the spirit of the law and places high importance on the correct, lawful, and fair handling of all personal data, respecting the legal rights, privacy, and trust of all individuals with whom it deals.

  1. The Data Protection Principles

This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the Regulation.  The Regulation sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply.  All personal data must be:

  1. processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject;
  2. collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes;
  3. adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed;
  4. accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, is erased or rectified without delay;
  5. kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed; personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the Regulation in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject;
    1. processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

The Regulation seeks to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting the rights of the data subject.  The Regulation states that processing of personal data shall be lawful if at least one of the following applies:

  1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  3. processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  4. processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
    1. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
    2. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
  1. u4c4collects and processes the personal data set out in Part 21 of this Policy.  This may include personal data received directly from data subjects (for example, contact details used when a data subject communicates with us) and data received from third parties (for example, when a u4c Third-Party User Licence applicant may provide information to identify or confirm a u4c Qualifying Member for the purpose of confirming an application by the u4c Third-Party applicant).
  2. u4c4only processes personal data for the specific purposes set out in Part 21 of this Policy (or for other purposes expressly permitted by the Regulation).  The purposes for which we process personal data will be informed to data subjects at the time that their personal data is collected, where it is collected directly from them, or as soon as possible (not more than one calendar month) after collection where it is obtained from a third party.
  1. Adequate, Relevant and Limited Data Processing

u4c4will only collect and process personal data for and to the extent necessary for the specific purpose(s) informed to data subjects as under Part 4, above.

  1. Accuracy of Data and Keeping Data Up To Date

u4c4shall ensure that all personal data collected and processed is kept accurate and up-to-date.  The accuracy of data shall be checked when it is collected and at regular intervals thereafter.  Where any inaccurate or out-of-date data is found, all reasonable steps will be taken without delay to amend or erase that data, as appropriate.

  1. Timely Processing

u4c4shall not keep personal data for any longer than is necessary in light of the purposes for which that data was originally collected and processed.  When the data is no longer required, all reasonable steps will be taken to erase it without delay.

  1. Secure Processing

u4c4shall ensure that all personal data collected and processed is kept secure and protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.  Further details of the data protection and organisational measures which shall be taken are provided in Parts 22 and 23 of this Policy.

    2. The information set out above in Part 12.1 shall be provided to the data subject at the following applicable time:
      1. Where the personal data is obtained from the data subject directly, at the time of collection;

        2. If the personal data is to be disclosed to another party, before the personal data is disclosed; or
        3. In any event, not more than one month after the time at which u4c4s obtains the personal data.
  2. Data Subject Access
    1. A data subject may make a subject access request (“SAR”) at any time to find out more about the personal data which u4c4holds about them. u4c4is normally required to respond to SARs within one month of receipt (this can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex and/or numerous requests, and in such cases the data subject shall be informed of the need for the extension).
    2. All subject access requests received must be forwarded to E W Dougherty, u4c4s’s data protection officer at PO Box 24739 – 00502, Nairobi, Kenya, email address edwin@u4c4seconds.com.
    3. u4c4does not charge a fee for the handling of normal SARs. u4c4reserves the right to charge reasonable fees for additional copies of information that has already been supplied to a data subject, and for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly where such requests are repetitive.
  3. Rectification of Personal Data
    1. If a data subject informs u4c4that personal data held by u4c4is inaccurate or incomplete, requesting that it be rectified, the personal data in question shall be rectified, and the data subject informed of that rectification, within one month of receipt the data subject’s notice (this can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests, and in such cases the data subject shall be informed of the need for the extension).
    2. In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of any rectification of that personal data.
  4. Erasure of Personal Data
    1. Data subjects may request that u4c4erases the personal data it holds about them in the following circumstances:
      1. It is no longer necessary for u4c4to hold that personal data with respect to the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed;
      2. The data subject wishes to withdraw their consent to u4c4holding and processing their personal data;
      3. The data subject objects to u4c4holding and processing their personal data (and there is no overriding legitimate interest to allow u4c4to continue doing so) (see Part 18 of this Policy for further details concerning data subjects’ rights to object);
      4. The personal data has been processed unlawfully;
      5. The personal data needs to be erased in order for u4c4to comply with a particular legal obligation.
    2. Unless u4c4has reasonable grounds to refuse to erase personal data, all requests for erasure shall be complied with, and the data subject informed of the erasure, within one month of receipt of the data subject’s request (this can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests, and in such cases the data subject shall be informed of the need for the extension).
    3. In the event that any personal data that is to be erased in response to a data subject request has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of the erasure (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).
  5. Restriction of Personal Data Processing
    1. Data subjects may request that u4c4ceases processing the personal data it holds about them.  If a data subject makes such a request, u4c4shall retain only the amount of personal data pertaining to that data subject that is necessary to ensure that no further processing of their personal data takes place.
    2. In the event that any affected personal data has been disclosed to third parties, those parties shall be informed of the applicable restrictions on processing it (unless it is impossible or would require disproportionate effort to do so).
  6.  Data Portability
    1. u4c4processes personal data using automated means for the purpose of registration, administration and service delivery to u4c Intropack applicants, u4c Membership applicants or u4c Third-Party User Licence applicants.
    2. Where data subjects have given their consent to u4c4to process their personal data in such a manner or the processing is otherwise required for the performance of a contract between u4c4s and the data subject, data subjects have the legal right under the Regulation to receive a copy of their personal data and to use it for other purposes (namely transmitting it to other data controllers, e.g. other organisations).
    3. To facilitate the right of data portability, u4c4shall make available all applicable personal data to data subjects in the following format:
      1. First name, second name, corporate (or organisation) name, email address, physical address (if known), postal address with details (if known) and date of collection of such data.
      1. Where technically feasible, if requested by a data subject, personal data shall be sent directly to another data controller.

All requests for copies of personal data shall be complied with within one month of the data subject’s request (this can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex requests in the case of complex or numerous requests, and in such cases the data subject shall be

    4. In the event that u4c4uses personal data for the purposes of automated decision-making and those decisions have a legal (or similarly significant effect) on data subjects, data subjects have the right to challenge to such decisions under the Regulation, requesting human intervention, expressing their own point of view, and obtaining an explanation of the decision from u4c4s.
      1. The right described in Part 19.1 does not apply in the following circumstances:
        1. The decision is necessary for the entry into, or performance of, a contract between u4c4and the data subject;
        2. The decision is authorised by law; or
        3. The data subject has given their explicit consent.

Please read carefully before downloading or using u4c Tutorials, u4c Resource files, u4c Wand© files or u4c Intropack files.

                    u4c4seconds Ltd fully supports the principle of equal opportunities in employment and opposes all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of disability. No applicant or employee shall receive less favourable treatment because of disability.

                    It is in the interest of u4c4seconds Ltd and those who work for it to ensure that all available human resource talents and skills are considered when employment opportunities arise. 

                    u4c4seconds Ltd is committed to maintaining and managing a diverse work force. 

                    PURPOSE 

                    To ensure that u4c4seconds Ltd complies with the Equality Act 2010 and to ensure that disabled people falling within the definition of the Act are treated equally and fairly. 

                    To ensure we recruit and retain the best people for u4c4seconds Ltd. 

                    SCOPE 

                    The Disability Discrimination Policy covers all staff and job applicants. This also covers employees who become disabled during their employment. Where relevant it also covers staff employed by outside agencies working on u4c4seconds Ltd’s premises. 

                    POLICY GUIDELINES 

                    Recruitment, training and promotion are carried out in line with u4c4seconds Ltd Codes of Practice. Clear job descriptions and person specifications are used (where appropriate) to enhance objective assessments and to ensure that decisions are made solely on objective and job related criteria. 

                    u4c4seconds Ltd will endeavour to give training and guidance to all relevant Staff, to ensure that the risk of possible discriminatory attitudes affecting decisions are minimised and that there is an understanding of the relevant provisions of the Equality Act 2010. 

                    u4c4seconds operates a Grievance Procedure to enable grievances, including those relating to unfair discrimination on grounds of disability, to be formally heard. 

                    All reasonable and necessary changes will be investigated and any justified changes will be made to the workplace and to employment arrangements so that disabled people are not at any substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled people. This covers all areas of employment, including recruitment, promotion and training. 

                    In recruitment and selection, u4c4seconds Ltd will modify selection techniques, where appropriate, and make any other reasonable changes to ensure that disabled people can be considered equally with non-disabled candidates. 

                    u4c4seconds Ltd will ensure that disabled people will receive equal treatment in training and development, and, where appropriate, will supply additional training. 

                    A flexible approach will be adopted and, where possible and justified, consideration to reallocation of duties, time off for rehabilitation, assessment or treatment or other appropriate measures to ensure equal opportunity. 

                    Every endeavour will be made to ensure that contract workers are not discriminated against because of their disability and will ensure that any contract workers and other agencies that may be used are aware of this policy. 

                    u4c4seconds Ltd actively encourages promotion of this policy in its internal and external recruitment by ensuring that advertisements, job descriptions and person specifications do not discriminate. We welcome applications from disabled people. u4c4seconds Ltd will ensure that all new employees are aware of this policy as part of their induction and will regularly review and monitor this policy to ensure its implementation and effectiveness.

If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

                    8.4. Each of the clauses of this Licence operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.
