WHO HAS ACCESS

All customers have the right to have access to the information held on them, we will also take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we keep is up to date by contacting customers about whether there have been any changes.

First Choice Wines is the “Data Controller” under the new legislation, and in some instances, we outsource to “Data Processors.” Data Processors only act in accordance with our, the Data Controller’s, instructions, and comply with our Privacy Policy. As a Data Controller we are also registered with the Information Commissioner of Jersey.

All staff working at First Choice Wines comply with the new legislation to ensure the security and confidentiality of all personal data being collected and processed, this applies to whether personal data is taken electronically, or in a paper-based format. Staff breaches of data protection legislation may result in disciplinary action. Any staff holding electronic devices comply to having password protection and keeping this device safe and secure at all times.

DATA RETENTION AND THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN

The new legislation introduces a right for individuals to have personal data erased, individuals can make a request for erasure verbally or in writing and we have one month to respond to this request. The right is not absolute and our legal obligations comes above the right to be erased.

We keep personal data for as long as the account remains active, once an account becomes inactive, we endeavour to contact each individual after 12 months of inactivity to consent to the termination of their account and deletion of their personal data.


DATA BREACHES

The new legislation introduces a duty on all organisations to report certain types of personal data breaches to the relevant authority, in our case this would be to the Information Commissioner of Jersey. We are required to inform the Information Commissioner within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible. Also, if a breach is likely to result in a high risk of affecting our customers, we would inform those customers without undue delay.
