1. The Data Protection Law
The controller acknowledges its obligations as per the data protection law, which provides a number of requirements in terms of processing activities involving personal data. The controller further acknowledges the general principles of processing as well as the rights of a data subject and more information in relation to these provisions are provided within this fair processing notice.
2. The Principles of Processing
a. Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.
In order to provide this online service, the controller collects personal data directly from data subjects who decide to opt in to receiving newsletters or provide feedback to the entity. No personal data is collected from any third party or publically available source. None of the personal data collected for this purpose is classified as “Special Category Data” (the most sensitive data as defined by data protection law). The personal data that is collected for this purpose includes:
The name of the data subject;
The data subject’s email address;
The data subject’s telephone number.
In terms of the lawful basis for processing, the above information is considered necessary for the data subject to receive the information from the controller. The controller is offering a service to data subjects, however as the controller is a public authority (as defined by data protection law), the lawfulness of processing does not relate to the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party.
The data subject’s email address is required in order to receive electronic newsletters until the data subject withdraws consent.

Personal data processed must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose for which it is processed.
The controller maintains that it will only process the personal data, which is detailed in section 2a, and will not process any further personal data that is not necessary in relation to the original reason for processing personal data as specified in section 2a, unless the controller is required to do so by law.
d. Accuracy
Personal data processed must be accurate, kept up-to-date (where applicable) and reasonable steps must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate is erased or corrected without delay.

Where a data subject invokes the right to data portability, the data subject has the right to be given their personal data in a structure, commonly used and machine-readable format suitable for transmission from one controller to another. Upon the request of a data subject, the controller must transmit their personal data directly to another controller unless it is technically unfeasible to do so.
c. Exception to right of portability or access involving disclosure of another individual’s personal data

The accuracy or completeness of the personal data is disputed by the data subject who wishes to obtain restriction of processing for a period in order for the controller to verify the accuracy or completeness;
The processing is unlawful but the data subject wishes to obtain restriction of processing as opposed to erasure;
The controller no longer requires the personal data, however the data subject requires the personal data in connection with any legal proceedings; or
The data subject has objected to processing but the controller has not ceased processing operations pending determination as to whether public interest outweighs the significant interests of the data subject.
h. Right to be notified of rectification, erasure and restrictions
Where any rectification, erasure or restriction of personal data has been carried out, the data subject has a right to ensure that the controller notifies any other person to which the personal data has been disclosed about the rectification, erasure or restriction of processing. The controller must also notify the data subject of the identity and contact details of the other person if the data subject requests this information.
