In line with the continuing development of the FoCP website, the FoCP committee feels that it is appropriate to publish our policy with respect to our data handling and your rights under the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998. Seeking to protect the fundamental rights and freedom of persons, in particular their right to privacy in respect to processing of personal data, the Act strengthens regulations concerning the automated processing of data. It also gives you the right to see any data we hold on you and to have it corrected if it is not accurate.It gives us the responsibility of handling your data securely and ensures that we do not disclose it to other people or organisations without meeting legal conditions that protect your privacy. For example, in some circumstances we may need to ask your permission first.
One of the main issues of the Act is concerned with whether a member of the FoCP has given consent to the use and release of personal details under specific circumstances. In this matter, those who have joined the FoCP are assumed to have done so in support of the stated objectives of the Group and are thus deemed to have given implicit permission to the Friends for the use of their data in support of these objectives. The FoCP constitution states:
Our playground provides a clean, bright and safe area for children up to the age of 14. You can find the Playground more or less in the centre of the Park, at the top of the hill above the Reg Driver Visitor Centre.
