17 Section Three 3.1 Data Protection Guidelines Principles Data Protection Guidelines consists of eight principles which are guidelines for best practice in handling personal data: Principle 1 Personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully Tell people for which purposes the data is being collected, and if applicable, that the data may be sent outside of Nigeria. Recorded telephone messages are useful tools for enabling these types of message, and can be optional (for example, press 1 to hear the Data Protection message). Notices should be prominent where CCTV is used as these images are covered by the Data Protection guidelines and would be in scope for data subject access requests if the images are not overwritten within 30 days Principle 2 Personal data shall only be used in accordance with the purposes for which it was collected Ensure data collected for one purpose is not then used for a different purpose. This can be covered off by including all likely purposes in the Data Protection fair processing message. The purposes for collecting the data must be reasonable and obviously lawful. Page 16
18 3.1.3 Principle 3 Personal data must be adequate, relevant and not excessive Do not collect data just in case it might be useful Principle 4 Personal data must be accurate and where necessary kept up to date Allow individuals the ability to update their data or to have it updated. This includes marketing communications. It is common practice nowadays for organizations to provide an opt-in approach to marketing ( tick here if you wish to be contacted for marketing purposes ), and to enable the updating of personal data online Principle 5 Personal data must be kept for no longer than is necessary Develop a retention policy for personal data and ensure it is enforced Principle 6 Personal data must be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects Ensure any requests from individuals for a copy of their data are responded to promptly and the data is provided within 7 days. Establish whether or not you require a fee to be paid, and how it should be paid. Provide opt-in tick boxes for marketing communications and ensure this is accurately captured in systems. Many complaints rightly arise from people receiving marketing s or calls when they have not requested them. Page 17
19 3.1.7 Principle 7 Appropriate technical and organizational measures must be established to protect the data To protect systems from hackers, set up firewalls at your network perimeter, store the data itself securely with only specific authorized individuals having access. Do data encryption. Develop an organizational policy for handling personal data (and other sensitive or confidential data) and set up a staff training program accordingly. Consider additional protection when ing personal data over the internet, as is inherently insecure Principle 8 Personal data must not be transferred outside Nigeria unless adequate provisions are in place for its protection If a requirement exists to send or transfer data outside Nigeria, consider the following: Does the receiving country have an adequate Data Protection Guidelines legislation equivalent to that of Nigeria? Is it necessary to send the data as part of the fulfilment of a contract? Has the data subject consented? (Does the fair processing notice include a statement to the effect that it may be transferred outside Nigeria?) Is the data being processed outside of the Nigeria by another office of the same firm which is established within Nigeria? Is there a contract in place between the data controller and the receiving organization providing for adequate protection of personal data? Page 18
