DATA PROTECTION
More information about the Data Protection Act 2018 and your rights can be found on the Information Commissioner's Office website.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (European Directive 95/46/EC), strengthening the rights that EU individuals have over their data, and creating a uniform data protection law across Europe.
Under the direction of HQ Infantry and the MoD; RHQ, The Mercian Regiment comply with applicable GDPR regulations as a data controller.
GDPR ‘LEAD’
The designated GDPR lead is the Regimental Secretary. You can contact the Regimental Secretary through our 'Contact Us' pages.
WHERE DO WE STAND?
We are committed to address EU data protection requirements applicable to us as a data controller.
DATA CONTROL
Our ability to fulfil our obligations as data controller of our ‘customer’s’ personal data is part of our compliance with GDPR. Our responsibility is to contact all parties we hold personal data on and ensure agreements and procedures contain appropriate provisions for personal data we store. We pledge to balance the risks and responsibilities as a data controller.
THIRD-PARTY AUDITS AND CERTIFICATIONS
RHQ, The Mercian Regiment will, as directed, undertake routine ‘independent’ third party audits from HQ Infantry and/or appointed MoD departments responsible for GDPR. The audit is likely to cover internal governance, routine operations, change management and data backups. The audits will confirm we have the appropriate controls and processes in place and that they are actively functioning appropriately.
Third-party audits will offer independent verification that our practices deliver a ‘mandated’ standard of security measures. Furthermore, assuring our system is designed to cover key elements of data processing and integrity. As all ‘customers’ are concerned with their data and its security, RHQ, The Mercian Regiment has integrated controls into our operating procedures. These procedures span the organisation. The key components include:
DATA PORTABILITY
The GDPR includes certain requirements on data controllers for the portability of personal data. RHQ, The Mercian Regiment does not transport or export ‘customer’ data, therefore, Data portability is Not Applicable.
STAY INFORMED
The organisation pledges to ‘Stay abreast’ of updated regulatory guidance as it becomes available and will consider consulting a legal expert to obtain applicable guidance if deemed necessary. All staff are recommended to (routinely) review the Information Commissioner's website, which is the UK representative within the EU working group: Article 29.
