SECURITY

The security of your personal information is very important to CEP. CEP protects all personal data it holds and ensures CEP has appropriate organisational and technical measures in place to prevent unauthorised access or unlawful processing of personal data and to prevent data being lost, destroyed or damaged.

CEP will keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary. In working out how long CEP needs to keep your personal data CEP takes into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential for harm to arise from its unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which CEP processes it, and as to whether those purposes may be achieved by other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Since retention periods will differ for different types of personal data please contact CEP for further details.

All information you provide to CEP is stored on CEP secure servers. Where CEP has given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of CEP’s site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. CEP asks you not to share a password with anyone. 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although CEP will do its best to protect your personal data, CEP cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to its site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once CEP has received your information, CEP will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

All the personal data is processed in the UK however for IT hosting and maintenance your information may be situated outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

You might find links to third party websites on CEP’s website. These websites should have their own privacy policies, which you should check. CEP does not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies whatsoever as CEP has no control over them.

YOUR RIGHTS

You benefit from a number of rights in respect of the personal data CEP holds about you. These rights apply for the period in which CEP processes your personal data. More information is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office website (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/invidual-rights/). CEP has summarised the rights which may be available to you below:

  • Transparency over how CEP uses your personal information (right to be informed).
  • To request a copy of the personal information CEP holds about you, which will be provided to you within one month (right of access).
  • An update or amendment of the personal information CEP holds about you (right of rectification).
  • To ask CEP to stop using personal information (right to restrict processing).
  • Ask CEP to remove your personal information from CEP’s records (right to be forgotten). 
  • Request CEP to remove your personal information for marketing purposes (right to object).
  • To obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes (right to portability) or to transfer it to another party.
  • Not to be subject to a decision based on automated processing.

You can contact CEP about any of these rights at the address above. To protect your privacy, CEP may ask you to prove your identity before it agrees to respond to any request. 

CEP will provide the information free of charge unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive or repetitive, in which case CEP is entitled to charge a reasonable fee. CEP may also charge you if you request more than one copy of the same information.

CEP will provide the information you request as soon as possible and in any event within one month of receiving your request. If the request contains a large amount of data, CEP reserves the right to provide the data within three months of the initial request. If CEP needs more information to comply with your request CEP will let you know.

In some circumstances CEP may not be able to do what you have asked, for example if there is a statutory or contractual requirement for CEP to process your data.

If you are not satisfied with the way in which CEP deals with your request, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office at their website www.ico.org.uk.
