24/7 Menu The Data Protection Charter The Data Protection Charter This charter describes how we commit to our duties and responsibilities for the personal and confidential information within our care; how we account for its fair use and how we maintain security and confidentiality. We allocate overall responsibility for our privacy practices and oversight to the most senior managers within the firm. We ensure data protection officer oversight of all data related operations throughout the Hill Dickinson group. The nominated data protection officer and representatives at each of our locations act as the primary point of contact for the group data protection officer / local regulator. We publish a privacy notice to demonstrate transparency in the routine processing of personal information. We endeavour to make individuals aware of where, when and why their information is being used, by whom and what for. We maintain an awareness and accountability culture towards data protection. We know what information we hold, who can access it, how it is controlled and how secure it is. We evidence our compliance towards the protection and confidentiality of information and continually review and improve our practices. We manage risks and implement corrective actions which are sustainable, balanced and effective. We evaluate privacy risks during business change activities which affect systems, processes, products and services that involve the use or sharing of information. We ensure safe, suitable and lawful working practices with other parties through strong contractual relationships, information sharing agreements and audit activities. We implement the most appropriate security controls, adopt robust governance mechanisms and instil best practice codes of conduct. We work collaboratively with our people, our clients and our business partners to build a unified approach towards data protection.
