Corporate Data Protection Policy

Agilysis is fully committed to transparency in how it handles personal data. The company takes all the essential measures ensure that information it holds remains private and secure and is processed with total confidentiality.

The lawful basis upon which Agilysis handles personal data is the Data Protection Act 1988 (DPA).

Agilysis only holds personal information supplied to it directly by the person concerned, or in the case of organisations with which Agilysis has an existing commercial relationship by professional colleagues of the person concerned.

Agilysis never has and never will store any sensitive personal data in the meaning of the DPA, except about its own employees for diversity and equality monitoring purposes.

Agilysis never has and never will store any information about persons under the age of 16.

Agilysis will not supply personal data to any third parties; with the sole exception of RoadSafe (a charitable company registered in England) who provide the secretariat for the Prince Michael International Road Safety Awards.

These principles are enshrined in a series of related procedures which document the flow of personal data and who is responsible for implementing each step.
