Protection of Personal Data

We follow a strict protocol for data protection within Canary HLE and as part of that protocol prohibit the transfer of personal information over communication lines, such as email, that may be subject to breach. As the range of our control of personal data is restricted to within Canary HLE, we will not be held responsible for unauthorized distribution, use, damage or destruction of personal data.

In order to further protect personal data, we hold a Data Sharing Agreement (General Data Protection Regulations) with our CompEx Centre licensing body, JTLimited (JTL).

All personal information provided by which you can be identified, will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Any further data collection or storage that is not detailed above, and is not a requirement of the CompEx Certification Body, must be agreed between the holding centre and the candidate under Data Protection Regulations. Information is processed via paper based and electronic registration forms which are completed by candidates, processed by the licensed centre, and forwarded, via courier, to the CompEx Certification Body, JT Limited (JTL).

Application documentation processed by the Licensed CompEx Centre, must meet the data security requirements listed herein. Data collected by the CompEx licensed centre is submitted to JTL (via courier) where it is then held on secure servers and all paperwork is archived under Data Protection Regulations. The CompEx Certification Body (JTL) and Canary HLE will retain a record of candidate personal information for verification, validation, and registration purposes. JTL and Canary HLE will retain this information in accordance with Data Protection law and regulation and will not retain your personal information for longer than required under the Data Protection Regulations.

JTL’s use of CompEx Candidates’ Personal Information

Canary HLE, as part of our affiliation with JTL the CompEx Certification Body, will collect personal client data. JTL, in turn, may use personal client data in the following ways:

  • Internal Record Keeping
  • Verification of Candidates
  • Validation of Certification
  • Information about their products, services, and developments if our client has consented to be contacted for such purposes
  • If it is necessary to contact you, for any reason relating to the provision of certification
  • Use of aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of the development of JTL services

  • If our business is sold or integrated with another business your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business

Removal of personal information

The right to remove personal information does not provide an absolute ‘right to be forgotten’. Individuals have a right to have personal information erased and to prevent processing in specific circumstances:

  • Where the personal information is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected/processed
    • In the case of a CompEx Candidate, when the individual withdraws consent this will result in any current certification with JTL (CompEx Certification Body) being withdrawn
  • The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation

 

There are certain circumstances where the right to removal does not apply and Canary HLE and/or the CompEx Certification Body, (JTL) would provide details as to why upon request.

Access to information

CompEx candidates and certificate holders have the right to request a copy of their information held by JTLimited (JTL) at any time by contacting them at privacy@jtlimited.co.uk. JTL will send a subject access request to complete and return to them. There is no fee applicable to this request, however, a ‘reasonable fee’ will be applied when a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive.
