Data protection law
The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organizations, including Exporta Publishing & Events Ltd, must collect, handle, and store personal information. These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper, or on other materials. To comply with the law, personal information collected must be stored safely, not disclosed unlawfully, and used fairly. The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles, which state that personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully, obtained only for specific, lawful purposes, be adequate, relevant, and not excessive, be accurate and kept up to date, not be held for any longer than necessary, be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects, be protected in appropriate ways, and not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless that country or territory also ensures an adequate level of protection.
