Act Now launches Law Enforcement Data Processing Policy Pack (Part 3 DPA 2018)

LED Policy PackOrganisations with a role in preventing and detecting crime (e.g. councils, police, regulatory bodies etc.) not only have to comply with GDPR but also Part 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) which applies to the processing of personal data for law enforcement purposes. This is a complex task requiring, amongst other things, a set of policies, procedures and notices; a daunting task especially for organisations “starting from scratch”.

Act Now has applied its 16 years of information governance experience to create a policy pack containing essential document templates to help you meet the requirements of the DPA 2018. It will save you hours of drafting and research time. The pack includes, amongst other things, template privacy notices as well as procedures for data security and data breach reporting. Security is a very hot topic after the recent ICO fine notices issued against British Airways and Marriott International.

We have also included template letters to deal with Data Subjects’ rights requests, including subject access. This is another hot topic. On 25thJune 2019, Enforcement Notices (under Part 3 of the DPA) were served by the ICO on the Metropolitan Police, for sustained failures to comply with individuals’ rights in respect of subject access requests.
