Data Protection Act Information

Introduction
 
If your business holds customer details - on paper or/and on a computer - it is a legal requirement that you protect people's privacy by complying with the Data Protection legislation. This data extends beyond personal details (name, address, telephone number, etc) to information such as credit worthiness.

Should you fail to comply with the Data Protection Act the consequences can be disastrous. Heavy fines will be issued and you may be permanently banned from obtaining and holding customer details. A knock on effect will see your customers lose confidence in you should news leak out.

The Data Protection Act 1998
