These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.

The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. These say that personal data must:

§ Be processed fairly and lawfully

§ Be adequate, relevant and not excessive

§ Be accurate and kept up to date

§ Not be held for any longer than necessary

§ Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
