Data Protection
|
The ubiquity of the Internet has
precipitated a critical mass of familiarity
with its workings among most business
people. This factor has made the issue
of Data Protection suddenly assume
huge importance.
The Employment Practices Data Protection
Code aids employers in complying with
the Data Protection Act 1998 in such
activities as recording workers' activities
by CCTV camera, keeping telephone
call recordings and using automated
checking software to collect information
about workers, such as their e-mailing
habits.
In addition, on 1st January 2005
the right of access to information
comes into force bringing new responsibilities
for public authorities under the Freedom
of Information Act 2000.
By no means all UK companies are
up to speed with their obligations
in these areas.
Company Law International can advise
on all aspects of companies' responsibilities
with regard to Data Protection - from
the development of a Data Protection
policy and associated employee guidelines,
their review as legislation changes
and comes into force, as well as consultation
in the event of disputes or claims.
