Appropriate policy statement for special categories of personal data

This is the appropriate policy document for Harlow District Council that sets out how we will protect special category and criminal convictions personal data.

It meets the requirement at Part 1 Paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Data Protection Act 2018 that an appropriate policy document be in place where the processing of special category personal data is necessary for the purposes of performing or exercising obligations or rights which are imposed or conferred by law on the controller or the data subject in connection with employment, social security or social protection.
