GDPR

GDPR Statement

In May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaced the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (European Directive 95/46/EC). Since the UK left the EU, UK data protection law has been the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) together with the Data Protection Act 2018. References to GDPR on this page mean the UK GDPR.

Leenix Ltd is (and has always been) committed to ensuring policies and procedures are in place to ensure client data privacy and are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

We welcome the UK GDPR as an important step forward in data protection and as an opportunity for Leenix Ltd to deepen our commitment to data protection.

In accordance with the UK GDPR, Leenix’s ongoing compliance efforts include:

Assessment

Leenix Ltd has carried out risk assessments on our procedures to identify any areas of concern regarding data privacy. This has covered a full review as to how, during the course of our daily business, we collect, use, store and dispose of personal data.

Leenix Ltd is aware that such assessment is an ongoing process.

Contractual Commitments: Customers & Suppliers

Compliance with the UK GDPR requires a partnership between Leenix Ltd and our customers in their use of Leenix services. In so much as Leenix Ltd provides such requested services, we will generally act as a data processor and our customers will generally act as a data controller.

Working together, we hope to explore opportunities to assist our customers meet their GDPR obligation but we encourage our customers to independently familiarise themselves with the UK GDPR. It is the responsibility of the data controller (and not the data processor) to ensure any such request meets their obligations. For example, in the issuing of contractual documentation for requested services.

Leenix Ltd has reviewed its supplier contracts to ensure GDPR compliance throughout its supply chain.

Employee Training

All Leenix Ltd employees have undertaken data privacy and security training and understand their personal responsibilities. This is an ongoing process and we will continue to provide training covering a variety of topics, including data protection, security, privacy and risk evaluation.
