The Data Protection
Act (1998) |
| |
Online backups can help
you to comply |
| |
|
| |
Backups performed using
our online backup service are fully compliant
with the Data Protection Act (1998). |
| |
| |
|
| In
the United Kingdom, the legislation
which defines your obligations to
the protection of Personal Information
is the Data Protection Act (1998).
|
|
| |
| Personal information
for the purposes of the Act is data
about living people who can be identified
from that information. Personal information
covers information such as customer
records and records on staff and applies
to information you hold on a computer
as well as to some paper-based records.
It even applies to some CCTV systems.
|
| |
| There
is a requirement for all businesses
to secure user identifiable data against
accidental loss, destruction or damage
and against unauthorised or unlawful
processing - this applies to you even
if your business uses a third party
to process personal information on your
behalf. Our online Server Backup Solution
will help you to meet the requirements.
|
|
| |
| |
|
 |
The Act also states
that you must not transfer data to
countries outside the European Economic
Area (the EU plus Norway, Iceland
and Liechtenstein) that do not have
adequate protection for individual's
personal information. This includes
considering where your backups are
stored. |
| |
Our
online backup solutions are UK based
and therefor your data and that of
your customers is safe and secure
in UK based data vaults.
