1. Introduction

 

The UK Data Protection Bill will be enacted under the Data Protection Act 2018. It will expressly incorporate the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016 into UK law and ensure continuity with the GDPR. The Act will regulate areas where the GDPR provides the flexibility to be applied at a national level. It will also include legislation regarding processing for purposes of law enforcement (in aid of the EU Law Enforcement Directive) as well as by intelligence agencies and provide for an Information Commissioner (the UK supervisory authority). The present Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998 will be repealed completely when DPA 2018 becomes effective.

 

The Fair Processing Notice (FPN) was written in accordance with the EU GDPR regulations of 2016. The FPN will be reviewed once DPA 2018 comes into force to ensure it is in line in accordance with the Act.

 

 

 

2. What do you think the purpose of this Fair Processing Notice is about?

 

 

Fair processing refers to the requirements that must be fulfilled in order for any process that involves personal information or specific categories of personal data to be legal. Transparency and accessibility of information to people regarding how an organization will process their personal information is an essential aspect of Data Protection Legislation. The most popular method to disclose this information is through the form of a Fair Processing Notice (FPN).

 

 

 

The FPN will be part of our plan to make processes we use to process data to fulfill our obligations in healthcare open to the public.

 

 

 

The FPN provides you with information about the data we collect and keep on you. We also explain the legal reason for obtaining and holding the information, the things you do with that information, how we safeguard it safe (confidential) as well as whom we may give it to and what rights you have with regard to the information we collect.
