4. DATA PROTECTION LAW AND PRINCIPLES
The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) describes how organisations must collect, handle and store personal information.
These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials
Good Business processes personal data in accordance with the following data protection principles set out in the GDPR:
- Processing personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
- Collecting personal data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes.
- Processing personal data only where it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of processing.
- Keeping accurate personal data and taking all reasonable steps to ensure that inaccurate personal data is rectified or deleted without delay.
- Keeping personal data only for the period necessary for processing.
- Adopting appropriate measures to make sure that personal data is secure, and protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing, and accidental loss, destruction or damage.
Good Business tells individuals the reasons for processing their personal data, how it uses such data and the legal basis for processing in its privacy notices. It will not process personal data of individuals for other reasons.
Where Good Business processes special categories of personal data this is done in accordance with a policy on special categories of data.
Good Business keeps a record of its processing activities in respect of personal data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.

Data collected will be held for as long as is necessary to allow us to make comparisons over time and to assess trends, both at an aggregated level and an individual level
6. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
Those about whom we hold and process personal data, including employees, have a number of rights in relation to their personal data.
Subject access requests
Individuals have the right to make a subject access request. If you make a subject access request, Good Business will tell you:
- whether or not your data is processed and if so why, the categories of personal data concerned and the source of the data if it is not collected from you;
- to whom your data is or may be disclosed;
- for how long your personal data is stored;
- your rights to rectification or erasure of data, or to restrict or object to processing;
- your right to complain to the Information Commissioner if you think Good Business has failed to comply with your data protection rights; and
- whether or not Good Business carries out automated decision-making and the logic involved in any such decision-making.
We will also provide you with a copy of the personal data undergoing processing.
To make a subject access request, you should send the request to david@good.business. We will usually ask for proof of identification before the request can be processed.
We will normally respond to a request within a period of two weeks from the date it is received, and if this is not possible (for example if the request is particularly complex) we will notify you.
If a subject access request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, for example is a repeat of a previous request, we are not obliged to comply with it. Alternatively, we can agree to respond but will charge a fee, which will be based on the administrative cost of responding to the request.
Other rights
You have a number of other rights in relation to your personal data. You can require Good Business to:
- rectify inaccurate data;
- stop processing or erase data that is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing;
- stop processing or erase data if your interests override our legitimate grounds for processing data (where we rely on legitimate interests as a reason for processing data);
- stop processing or erase data if processing is unlawful; and
- stop processing data for a period if data is inaccurate or if there is a dispute about whether or not the individual's interests override our legitimate grounds for processing data.
To ask Good Business to take any of these steps, you should send the request to david@good.business.
Disclosing data for other reasons
In certain circumstances, the law allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without the consent of the data subject.
Under these circumstances we will disclose requested data. However, the data controller will ensure the request is legitimate, seeking assistance from the board and from the company’s legal advisers where necessary.

Good Business will not transfer personal data to countries outside the EEA.
