Privacy Guidelines
This code is based on the OECD Fair Information Practices
Collection Limitation Principle
There should be limits to the collection of personal data and any such data
should be obtained by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the
knowledge or consent of the data subject.
Data Quality Principle
Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which they are to be used,
and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete
and kept up-to-date.
Purpose Specification Principle
The purposes for which personal data are collected should be specified not later
than at the time of data collection and the subsequent use limited to the fulfilment
of those purposes or such others as are not incompatible with those
purposes and as are specified on each occasion of change of purpose.
Use Limitation Principle
Personal data should not be disclosed, made available or otherwise used for
purposes other than those specified in accordance with [the Purpose
Specification Principle] except:
with the consent of the data subject; or by the authority of law.
Security Safeguards Principle
Personal data should be protected by reasonable security safeguards against such
risks as loss or unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or
disclosure of data.
Openness Principle
There should be a general policy of openness about developments, practices and
policies with respect to personal data. Means should be readily available of
establishing the existence and nature of personal data, and the main purposes of
their use, as well as the identity and usual residence of the data controller.
Individual Participation Principle
An individual should have the right:
 |
to obtain from a data controller confirmation of whether or
not the data controller has data relating to them |
|
to have communicated to him data relating to him within a reasonable time;
at a charge, if any, that is not excessive; in a reasonable manner; and in a form that is readily intelligible
|
|
to be given reasons if a request is denied |
|
to be able to challenge such denial |
|
to challenge the data and, if successful, to have
the data erased, rectified, completed or amended. |
Accountability Principle
A data controller should be accountable for complying with measures which give
effect to the principles stated above.
