Your privacy is very important to us at Greenfield Engineering. If you supply personal details to us through this website then you consent to our maintaining, recording, holding and using such personal data in accordance with our ‘Privacy Policy’. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information.
Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
We will collect and use of personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfilment of those purposes. We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.
We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.
Greenfield Engineering needs to gather and use certain information about individuals.
This can include customers, suppliers, business contacts, employees and other people the organisation has a relationship with or may need to contact.
This policy describes how this personal data must be collected, handled and stored to meet the company’s data protection standards – and to comply with the law.
This data protection policy ensures Greenfield Engineering
The Data Protection Act 1998 describes how organisations, such as Greenfield Engineering, must collect, handle and store personal information.
These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.
To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely and not disclosed unlawfully.
The Data Protection Act is underpinned by eight important principles. These say that personal data must:
This policy applies to:
It applies to all data that the company holds relating to identifiable individuals, even if that information technically falls outside of the Data Protection Act 1998. This can include:
This policy helps to protect Greenfield Engineering from some very real data security risks,
Including:
Everyone who works for or with Greenfield Engineering has some responsibility for ensuring data is collected, stored and handled appropriately.
Each team that handles personal data must ensure that it is handled and processed in line with this policy and data protection principles.
However, these people have key areas of responsibility:
These rules describe how and where data should be safely stored. Questions about storing data safely can be directed to the Material Planning and Operations Manager.
When data is stored on paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised people cannot see or access it. When data is no longer required it must be shredded immediately and securely.
These guidelines also apply to data that is usually stored electronically but has been printed out for some reason:
When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorised access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts:
Personal data is of no value to Greenfield Engineering unless the business can make use of it. However, it is when personal data is accessed and used that it can be at the greatest risk of loss, corruption or theft:
The law requires Greenfield Engineering to take reasonable steps to ensure data is kept accurate and up to date.
The more important it is that the personal data is accurate, the greater the effort Greenfield Engineering should put into ensuring its accuracy.
It is the responsibility of all employees who work with data to take reasonable steps to ensure it is kept as accurate and up to date as possible.
All individuals who are the subject of personal data held by Greenfield Engineering are entitled to:
If an individual contacts the company requesting this information, this is called a subject access request. If an individual requests for the personal data to be permanently deleted this is known as right to erasure
‘Subject access requests’ and ‘right to erasure’ from individuals should be made by either email to kerris@greenfieldengineering.co.uk or via contact by phone or in person. ‘Subject Access request’ and ‘Right to Erasure’ forms are available on Greenfield Engineering’s intranet site and a hard copy will be supplied to any individual requesting this information.
In order to fulfil these requests and before handing over or permanently deleting any personal data, Greenfield Engineering will need to verify the identity of anyone making these requests by requesting original photographic identification and a completed form. Once completed these request forms will be stored in a secure location for 7 years before being destroyed.
In accordance with GDPR Legislation, there is no fee for this request, and the data controller will provide the relevant data within 31 days of the request being made.
In certain circumstances, the Data Protection Act allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without consent of the data subject.
Under these circumstances, Greenfield Engineering 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.
Greenfield Engineering aims to ensure that individuals are aware that their data is being processed, and that they understand:
To these ends, the company has a privacy policy, setting out how data relating to individuals is used by the company.
The Company uses closed circuit television (CCTV) images to protect the Company’s property and to provide a safe and secure environment for employees and visitors to the Company’s business premises. This policy sets out the details of how the Company will collect, use and store CCTV images. For more information on your privacy rights associated with the processing of your personal data collected through CCTV images please refer to the Company privacy notice and data protection policy.
The Company’s CCTV facility, unless there are exceptional circumstances, will only record images. There is no audio recording i.e., conversations are not recorded on CCTV.
The Company has felt it is necessary and proportionate to install and use a CCTV system. The data collected from the system will assist in:
Cameras are located at strategic points throughout the Company’s business premises, principally at the entrance and exit points. The Company has positioned the cameras so that they only cover communal or public areas on the Company’s business premises and they have been sited so that they provide clear images. No camera focuses, or will focus on toilets, shower facilities, changing rooms, staff kitchen areas, staff break rooms or private offices.
All cameras are also clearly visible and the appropriate signs are prominently displayed so that employees, clients, customers and other visitors are aware they are entering an area covered by CCTV.
Any person(s) interfering or obstructing the cameras on purpose will be dealt with using our disciplinary policy.
Images produced by the CCTV equipment are intended to be as clear as possible so that they are effective for the purposes set out above. Maintenance checks of the equipment are undertaken on a regular basis to ensure it is working properly and that the media is producing high quality images.
Images may be recorded in constant real-time 24 hours a day throughout the year.
As the recording system records digital images, any CCTV images that are held on the hard drive of a PC or server are deleted and overwritten on a recycling basis and, in any event, once the hard drive has reached the end of its use, it will be erased prior to disposal.
Images that are stored on, or transferred on to, removable media or which are stored digitally are erased or destroyed once the purpose of the recording is no longer relevant. In normal circumstances, this will be a period of 1 month.
However, where a law enforcement agency is investigating a crime, images may need to be retained for a longer period.
Access to, and disclosure of images recorded on CCTV is restricted. This ensures that the rights of individuals are retained. Images can only be disclosed in accordance with the purposes for which they were originally collected.
The images that are filmed are recorded centrally and held in a secure location.
Access to recorded images is restricted to the operators of the CCTV system and to those line managers who are authorised to view them in accordance with the purposes of the system. Viewing of recorded images will take place in a restricted area to which other employees will not have access when viewing is occurring. If media on which images are recorded are removed for viewing purposes, this will be documented.
Disclosure of images to other third parties will only be made in accordance with the purposes for which the system is used and will be limited to:
The Managing Director of the Company (or another senior director acting in their absence) is the only person who is permitted to authorise disclosure of images to external third parties such as law enforcement agencies.
All requests for disclosure and access to images will be documented, including the date of the disclosure, to whom the images have been provided and the reasons why they are required. If disclosure is denied, the reason will be recorded.
Under the UK’s data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals have the right on request to receive a copy of the personal data that the Company holds about them, including CCTV images if they are recognisable from the image.
If you wish to access any CCTV images relating to you, you must make a written request to a director of the company. The Company will usually not make a charge for such a request, but we may charge a reasonable fee if you make a request which is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or is repetitive. Your request must include the date, approximate time, the reason for the request when the images were recorded and the location of the particular CCTV camera, so that the images can be easily located and your identity can be established as the person in the images.
The Company will usually respond promptly and in any case within one month of receiving a request. However, where a request is complex or numerous the Company may extend this period further.
The Company will always check the identity of the employee making the request before processing it.
The senior management team will always determine whether disclosure of your images will reveal third party information, as you have no right to access CCTV images relating to other people. In this case, the images of third parties may need to be obscured if it would otherwise involve an unfair intrusion into their privacy.
If the Company is unable to comply with your request because access could prejudice the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders, you will be advised accordingly.
The Company will ensure that all employees handling CCTV images or recordings are trained in the operation and administration of the CCTV system and on the impact of the laws regulating data protection and privacy with regard to that system.
The Company’s senior management team is responsible for the implementation of and compliance with this policy and the operation of the CCTV system and they will conduct a regular review of the Company’s use and processing of CCTV images and ensure that at all times it remains compliant with the laws regulating data protection and privacy. Any complaints or enquiries about the operation of the Company’s CCTV system should be addressed a director of the company.
The Company will process the personal data collected in connection with the operation of the CCTV policy in accordance with its data protection policy and any internal privacy notices in force at the relevant time. Inappropriate access or disclosure of this data will constitute a data breach and should be reported immediately to a member of the Company’s senior management team in accordance with the Company’s data protection policy. Reported data breaches will be investigated and may lead to sanctions under the Company’s disciplinary procedure.
The act came into effect from October 2015. Greenfield Engineering (SM) Ltd (GFL) is committed to a work environment that is free from human trafficking, forced labour and unlawful child labour. GFL believes that it has a responsibility for promoting ethical and lawful employment practices.
GFL will not knowingly use unlawful child labour or forced labour in any of the products and services it provides, nor will it knowingly accept products or services from suppliers that employ or utilise child labour or forced labour.
This policy sets out the high standards of behaviour and integrity that GFL requires from its employees in relation to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 to prevent slavery and human trafficking. GFL also requires its suppliers and contractors to respect and follow this policy statement as a core term of any contracts that they may have with any member organisation or business supply chains. Human trafficking and slavery are crimes under UK and international law. These crimes exist in countries throughout the world. This policy statement defines GFL’s commitment to ensuring that human trafficking and slavery does not exist within its own business, but also details how we will make efforts to eradicate the same from other businesses with whom it shall maintain a relationship. GFL will take appropriate steps to ensure not only its own compliance but also that these requirements are followed by its suppliers and subcontractors.
Human Trafficking: The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation.
Forced Labour: All work or service, not voluntarily performed, that is obtained from an individual under the threat of force or penalty.
Harmful Child Labour: Consists of the employment of children that is economically exploitative, or is likely to be hazardous to, or interfere with, the child’s education, or to be harmful to the child’s health, or physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or social development.
Upon request, GFL suppliers will certify that the services or materials incorporated into the products they provide GFL comply with the laws regarding human trafficking and slavery of the country or countries in which they are doing business. Failure to provide this evidence can lead to your removal from our supplier list.
Suppliers must be able to demonstrate compliance with this policy at the request and satisfaction of GFL. We would also like to conduct unannounced audits of your operations from time to time, which may include an audit of your personnel recruitment sources.
Any employee or supplier who has knowledge or information regarding a possible violation is encouraged to either report the violation to the Human Resources department immediately or report the information directly to the Managing Director.
Please Note: The Order No. must be quoted on all invoices and any other communications relating to the Purchase Order.
