Data protection

More and more personal information is being retained on computerised databases. Public authorities ranging from schools and universities to local authorities and the police have the additional burden that their paper files remain subject to the Act. The opportunities to fall foul of the Data Protection and Human Rights Acts are increasing as the law in these areas develops to protect the individual’s privacy. The specialists at BLM can advise not only on the strict requirements of the law but also on best practice in the storage and use of data.

We have extensive experience in advising organisations on compliance with subject access requests and we regularly advise local authorities and police forces in particular.
