Privacy Standard (formerly Data protection policy)
June 2019 revision [GDPR version]
A. POLICY STATEMENT
(a)This
Privacy Standard sets out the operational basis on which Ultra CIS
Limited will process personal data.
(b)Everyone
has rights with regard to the way in which their personal data are
handled. During the course of our activities we will collect, store
and process personal data about our clients (umbrella contractors and
subcontractors, ‘own company’ contractors, and umbrella employees
and workers), suppliers and other third parties, and we recognise
that the correct and lawful treatment of this data will maintain
confidence in the organisation and will provide for successful
business operations.
(c)We
recognise the need to treat – and to be seen to treat – personal
data in an appropriate and lawful manner, in accordance with the Data
Protection Act 1998 (‘DPA’) and other regulations, and (with
effect from 25th
May 2018) in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation
(EU) 2016/979 (‘GDPR’) and (when enacted) the Data Protection Act
2018. In this Privacy Standard all such legislation is referred to as
‘Data Protection Legislation’.
(d)All
users of personal data are obliged to comply with this Privacy
Standard when processing personal data on our behalf. Any breach of
this Privacy Standard may result in disciplinary action.
B. INTERPRETATION
(a)DEFINITIONS:
(a.i)Automated
Decision-Making (ADM): when
a decision is made which is based solely on Automated Processing
(including profiling) which produces legal effects or significantly
affects an individual. The GDPR prohibits Automated Decision-Making
(unless certain conditions are met) but not Automated Processing.
(a.ii)Automated
Processing: any
form of automated processing of Personal Data consisting of the use
of Personal Data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to an
individual, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning
that individual’s performance at work, economic situation, health,
personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or
movements. Profiling is an example of Automated Processing.
(a.iii)Company
name: Ultra
CIS Limited.
(a.iv)Company
Personnel: all
employees, workers, contractors, agency workers, consultants,
directors, and others.
(a.v)Consent:
agreement
which must be freely given, specific, informed and be an unambiguous
indication of the Data Subject’s wishes by which they, by a
statement or by a clear positive action, signifies agreement to the
Processing of Personal Data relating to them.
(a.vi)Data
Controller: the
person or organisation that determines when, why and how to process
Personal Data. It is responsible for establishing practices and
policies in line with the GDPR. We are the Data Controller of all
Personal Data relating to our Company Personnel and Personal Data
used in our business for our own commercial purposes.
(a.vii)Data
Subject: a
living, identified or identifiable individual about whom we hold
Personal Data. Data Subjects may be nationals or residents of any
country and may have legal rights regarding their Personal Data.
(a.viii)Data
Privacy Impact Assessment (DPIA): tools
and assessments used to identify and reduce risks of a data
processing activity. DPIA can be carried out as part of Privacy by
Design and should be conducted for all major system or business
change programs involving the Processing of Personal Data.
(a.ix)Data
Protection Officer (DPO): the
person required to be appointed in specific circumstances under the
GDPR. Where a mandatory DPO has not been appointed, this term means
the Data
Compliance Manager
or other voluntary appointment of a DPO or refers to the Company data
privacy team with responsibility for data protection compliance.
(a.x)EEA:
the
28 countries in the EU, and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
(a.xi)Explicit
Consent: consent
which requires a very clear and specific statement (that is, not just
action).
(a.xii)General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): the
General Data Protection Regulation ((EU)
2016/679).
Personal Data is subject to the legal safeguards specified in the
GDPR.
(a.xiii)Personal
Data: any
information identifying a Data Subject or information relating to a
Data Subject that we can identify (directly or indirectly) from that
data alone or in combination with other identifiers we possess or can
reasonably access. Personal Data includes Sensitive Personal Data and
Pseudonymised Personal Data but excludes anonymous data or data that
has had the identity of an individual permanently removed. Personal
data can be factual (for example, a name, email address, location or
date of birth) or an opinion about that person’s actions or
behaviour.
(a.xiv)Personal
Data Breach: any
act or omission that compromises the security, confidentiality,
integrity or availability of Personal Data or the physical,
technical, administrative or organisational safeguards that we or our
third-party service providers put in place to protect it. The loss,
or unauthorised access, disclosure or acquisition, of Personal Data
is a Personal Data Breach.
(a.xv)Privacy
by Design: implementing
appropriate technical and organisational measures in an effective
manner to ensure compliance with the GDPR.
(a.xvi)Privacy
Guidelines: any
Company privacy/GDPR related guidelines which may be provided to
assist in interpreting and implementing this Privacy Standard and
Related Policies.
(a.xvii)Privacy
Notices (also referred to as Fair Processing Notices) or Privacy
Policies: separate
notices setting out information that may be provided to Data Subjects
when the Company collects information about them. These notices may
take the form of general privacy statements applicable to a specific
group of individuals (for example, employee privacy notices or the
website privacy policy) or they may be stand-alone, one time privacy
statements covering Processing related to a specific purpose.
(a.xviii)Processing
or Process: any
activity that involves the use of Personal Data. It includes
obtaining, recording or holding the data, or carrying out any
operation or set of operations on the data including organising,
amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing or destroying it.
Processing also includes transmitting or transferring Personal Data
to third parties.
(a.xix)Pseudonymisation
or Pseudonymised: replacing
information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual with
one or more artificial identifiers or pseudonyms so that the person,
to whom the data relates, cannot be identified without the use of
additional information which is meant to be kept separately and
secure.
(a.xx)Related
Policies: any
other Company’s policies, operating procedures or processes related
to this Privacy Standard and designed to protect Personal Data.
(a.xxi)Sensitive
Personal Data: information
revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or
similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health
conditions, sexual life, sexual orientation, biometric or genetic
data, and Personal Data relating to criminal offences and

Annex E. PERSONAL
DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES
(a)We
adhere to the principles relating to Processing of Personal Data set
out in the GDPR which require Personal Data to be:
(a.i)Processed
lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner (Lawfulness, Fairness
and Transparency).
(a.ii)Collected
only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes (Purpose
Limitation).
(a.iii)Adequate,
relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes
for which it is Processed (Data Minimisation).
(a.iv)Accurate
and where necessary kept up to date (Accuracy).
(a.v)Not
kept in a form which permits identification of Data Subjects for
longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data is
Processed (Storage Limitation).
(a.vi)Processed
in a manner that ensures its security using appropriate technical and
organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful
Processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage
(Security, Integrity and Confidentiality).
(a.vii)Not
transferred to another country without appropriate safeguards being
in place (Transfer Limitation).
(a.viii)Made
available to Data Subjects and Data Subjects allowed to exercise
certain rights in relation to their Personal Data (Data Subject’s
Rights and Requests).
(b)We
are responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with
the data protection principles listed above (Accountability).
Annex F.LAWFULNESS,
FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY
(a)LAWFULNESS
AND FAIRNESS
(a.i)Personal
data must be Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
in relation to the Data Subject.
(a.ii)You
may only collect, Process and share Personal Data fairly and lawfully
and for specified purposes. The GDPR restricts our actions regarding
Personal Data to specified lawful purposes. These restrictions are
not intended to prevent Processing, but ensure that we Process
Personal Data fairly and without adversely affecting the Data
Subject.
(a.iii)The
GDPR allows Processing for specific purposes, some of which are set
out below:
the
Data Subject has given his or her Consent;
the
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the
Data Subject;
to
meet our legal compliance obligations.;
to
protect the Data Subject’s vital interests;
to
pursue our legitimate interests for purposes where they are not
overridden because the Processing prejudices the interests or
fundamental rights and freedoms of Data Subjects. The purposes for
which we process Personal Data for legitimate interests need to be
set out in applicable Privacy Notices or Fair Processing Notices.
(a.iv)You
must identify and document the legal ground being relied on for each
Processing activity.
(b)CONSENT
(b.i)A
Data Controller must only process Personal Data on the basis of one
or more of the lawful bases set out in the GDPR, which include
Consent.
(b.ii)A
Data Subject consents to Processing of their Personal Data if they
indicate agreement clearly either by a statement or positive action
to the Processing. Consent requires affirmative action so silence,
pre-ticked boxes or inactivity are unlikely to be sufficient. If
Consent is given in a document which deals with other matters, then
the Consent must be kept separate from those other matters.
(b.iii)Data
Subjects must be easily able to withdraw Consent to Processing at any
time and withdrawal must be promptly honoured. Consent may need to be
refreshed if you intend to Process Personal Data for a different and
incompatible purpose which was not disclosed when the Data Subject
first consented.
(b.iv)Unless
we can rely on another legal basis of Processing, Explicit Consent is
usually required for Processing Sensitive Personal Data, for
Automated Decision-Making and for cross border data transfers.
Usually we will be relying on another legal basis (and not require
Explicit Consent) to Process most types of Sensitive Data. Where
Explicit Consent is required, you must issue a Fair Processing Notice
to the Data Subject to capture Explicit Consent.
(b.v)You
will need to evidence Consent captured and keep records of all
Consents so that the Company can demonstrate compliance with Consent
requirements.
(c)TRANSPARENCY
(NOTIFYING DATA SUBJECTS)
(c.i)The
GDPR requires Data Controllers to provide detailed, specific
information to Data Subjects depending on whether the information was
collected directly from Data Subjects or from elsewhere. Such
information must be provided through appropriate Privacy Notices or
Fair Processing Notices which must be concise, transparent,
intelligible, easily accessible, and in clear and plain language so
that a Data Subject can easily understand them.
(c.ii)Whenever
we collect Personal Data directly from Data Subjects, including for
human resources or employment purposes, we must provide the Data
Subject with all the information required by the GDPR including the
identity of the Data Controller and DPO, how and why we will use,
Process, disclose, protect and retain that Personal Data through a
Fair Processing Notice which must be presented when the Data Subject
first provides the Personal Data.
(c.iii)When
Personal Data is collected indirectly (for example, from a third
party or publically available source), you must provide the Data
Subject with all the information required by the GDPR as soon as
possible after collecting/receiving the data. You must also check
that the Personal Data was collected by the third party in accordance
with the GDPR and on a basis which contemplates our proposed
Processing of that Personal Data.
Annex G.PURPOSE
LIMITATION
(a)Personal
Data must be collected only for specified, explicit and legitimate
purposes. It must not be further Processed in any manner incompatible
with those purposes.
(b)You
cannot use Personal Data for new, different or incompatible purposes
from that disclosed when it was first obtained unless you have
informed the Data Subject of the new purposes and they have Consented
where necessary.
Annex H.DATA
MINIMISATION
(a)Personal
Data must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in
relation to the purposes for which it is Processed.
(b)You
may only Process Personal Data when performing your job duties
requires it. You cannot Process Personal Data for any reason
unrelated to your job duties.
(c)You
may only collect Personal Data that you require for your job duties:
do not collect excessive data. Ensure any Personal Data collected is
adequate and relevant for the intended purposes.
(d)You
must ensure that when Personal Data is no longer needed for specified
purposes, it is deleted or anonymised in accordance with the
Company’s data retention guidelines.
Annex I.ACCURACY
(a)Personal
Data must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. It must
be corrected or deleted without delay when inaccurate.
(b)You
will ensure that the Personal Data we use and hold is accurate,
complete, kept up to date and relevant to the purpose for which we
collected it. You must check the accuracy of any Personal Data at the
point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. You must
take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or
out-of-date Personal Data.
Annex J.STORAGE
LIMITATION
(a)Personal
Data must not be kept in an identifiable form for longer than is
necessary for the purposes for which the data is processed.
(b)You
must not keep Personal Data in a form which permits the
identification of the Data Subject for longer than needed for the
legitimate business purpose or purposes for which we originally
collected it including for the purpose of satisfying any legal,
accounting or reporting requirements.
(c)The
Company will maintain retention policies and procedures to ensure
Personal Data is deleted after a reasonable time for the purposes for
which it was being held, unless a law requires such data to be kept
for a minimum time. Where
the Company may be considered to be an employment business, it is
required by law to retain candidates’ personal data for at least
one year after we last provided services to them.
(d)You
will take all reasonable steps to destroy or erase from our systems
all Personal Data that we no longer require in accordance with all
the Company’s applicable records retention schedules and policies.
This includes requiring third parties to delete such data where
applicable.
(e)You
will ensure Data Subjects are informed of the period for which data
is stored and how that period is determined in any applicable Privacy
Notice or Fair Processing Notice.
Annex K.SECURITY
INTEGRITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
(a)PROTECTING
PERSONAL DATA
(a.i)Personal
Data must be secured by appropriate technical and organisational
measures against unauthorised or unlawful Processing, and against
accidental loss, destruction or damage.
(a.ii)We
will develop, implement and maintain safeguards appropriate to our
size, scope and business, our available resources, the amount of
Personal Data that we own or maintain on behalf of others and
identified risks (including use of encryption and Pseudonymisation
where applicable). We will regularly evaluate and test the
effectiveness of those safeguards to ensure security of our
Processing of Personal Data. You are responsible for protecting the
Personal Data we hold. You must implement reasonable and appropriate
security measures against unlawful or unauthorised Processing of
Personal Data and against the accidental loss of, or damage to,
Personal Data. You must exercise particular care in protecting
Sensitive Personal Data from loss and unauthorised access, use or
disclosure.
(a.iii)You
must follow all procedures and technologies we put in place to
maintain the security of all Personal Data from the point of
collection to the point of destruction. You may only transfer
Personal Data to third-party service providers who agree to comply
with the required policies and procedures and who agree to put
adequate measures in place, as requested.
(a.iv)You
must maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of the Personal Data, defined as follows:
Confidentiality
means that only people who have a need to know and are authorised to
use the Personal Data can access it.
Integrity
means that Personal Data is accurate and suitable for the purpose for
which it is processed.
Availability
means that authorised users are able to access the Personal Data when
they need it for authorised purposes.
(a.v)You
must comply with and not attempt to circumvent the administrative,
physical and technical safeguards we implement and maintain in
accordance with the GDPR and relevant standards to protect Personal
Data.
(b)REPORTING
A PERSONAL DATA BREACH
(b.i)The
GDPR requires Data Controllers to notify any Personal Data Breach to
the applicable regulator and, in certain instances, the Data Subject.
(b.ii)We
have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data
Breach and will notify Data Subjects or any applicable regulator
where we are legally required to do so.
(c)If
you know or suspect that a Personal Data Breach has occurred, do not
attempt to investigate the matter yourself. Immediately contact the
person or team designated as the key point of contact for Personal
Data Breaches. You should preserve all evidence relating to the
potential Personal Data Breach.
Annex L.TRANSFER
LIMITATION
(a)The
GDPR restricts data transfers to countries outside the EEA in order
to ensure that the level of data protection afforded to individuals
by the GDPR is not undermined. You transfer Personal Data originating
in one country across borders when you transmit, send, view or access
that data in or to a different country.
(b)You
may only transfer Personal Data outside the EEA if one of the
following conditions applies:
(b.i)the
European Commission has issued a decision confirming that the country
to which we transfer the Personal Data ensures an adequate level of
protection for the Data Subjects’ rights and freedoms;
(b.ii)appropriate
safeguards are in place such as binding corporate rules (BCR),
standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, an
approved code of conduct or a certification mechanism, a copy of
which can be obtained from the DPO;
(b.iii)the
Data Subject has provided Explicit Consent to the proposed transfer
after being informed of any potential risks; or
(b.iv)the
transfer is necessary for one of the other reasons set out in the
GDPR including the performance of a contract between us and the Data
Subject, reasons of public interest, to establish, exercise or defend
legal claims or to protect the vital interests of the Data Subject
where the Data Subject is physically or legally incapable of giving
Consent and, in some limited cases, for our legitimate interest.

ensure proper use and protection of Personal Data.
(d)PRIVACY
BY DESIGN AND DATA PROTECTION IMPACT ASSESSMENT (DPIA)
(d.i)We
are required to implement Privacy by Design measures when Processing
Personal Data by implementing appropriate technical and
organisational measures (like Pseudonymisation) in an effective
manner, to ensure compliance with data privacy principles.
(d.ii)You
must assess what Privacy by Design measures can be implemented on all
programs/systems/processes that Process Personal Data by taking into
account the following:
the
state of the art;
the
cost of implementation;
the
nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing; and
the
risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of
Data Subjects posed by the Processing.
(d.iii)Data
controllers must also conduct DPIAs in respect to high risk
Processing.
(d.iv)You
should conduct a DPIA (and discuss your findings with the DPO) when
implementing major system or business change programs involving the
Processing of Personal Data including:
use
of new technologies (programs, systems or processes), or changing
technologies (programs, systems or processes);
Automated
Processing including profiling and ADM;
large
scale Processing of Sensitive Data; and
large
scale, systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area.
(d.v)A
DPIA must include:
a
description of the Processing, its purposes and the Data Controller’s
legitimate interests if appropriate;
an
assessment of the necessity and proportionality of the Processing in
relation to its purpose;
an
assessment of the risk to individuals; and
the
risk mitigation measures in place and demonstration of compliance.
(e)AUTOMATED
PROCESSING (INCLUDING PROFILING) AND AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING
(e.i)Generally,
ADM is prohibited when a decision has a legal or similar significant
effect on an individual unless:
a
Data Subject has Explicitly Consented;
the
Processing is authorised by law; or
the
Processing is necessary for the performance of or entering into a
contract.
(e.ii)If
certain types of Sensitive Data are being processed, then grounds
(a)(ii) or (a)(iii) will not be allowed but such Sensitive Data can
be Processed where it is necessary (unless less intrusive means can
be used) for substantial public interest like fraud prevention.
(e.iii)If
a decision is to be based solely on Automated Processing (including
profiling), then Data Subjects must be informed when you first
communicate with them of their right to object. This right must be
explicitly brought to their attention and presented clearly and
separately from other information. Further, suitable measures must be
put in place to safeguard the Data Subject’s rights and freedoms
and legitimate interests
(e.iv)We
must also inform the Data Subject of the logic involved in the
decision making or profiling, the significance and envisaged
consequences and give the Data Subject the right to request human
intervention, express their point of view or challenge the decision.
(e.v)A
DPIA must be carried out before any Automated Processing (including
profiling) or ADM activities are undertaken.
(e.vi)Where
you are involved in any data Processing activity that involves
profiling or ADM, you must comply with the Company’s guidelines on
profiling or ADM.
(f)DIRECT
MARKETING
(f.i)We
are subject to certain rules and privacy laws when marketing to our
customers.
(f.ii)For
example, a Data Subject’s prior consent is required for electronic
direct marketing (for example, by email, text or automated calls).
The limited exception for existing customers known as “soft opt in”
allows organisations to send marketing texts or emails if they have
obtained contact details in the course of a sale to that person, they
are marketing similar products or services, and they gave the person
an opportunity to opt out of marketing when first collecting the
details and in every subsequent message.
(f.iii)The
right to object to direct marketing must be explicitly offered to the
Data Subject in an intelligible manner so that it is clearly
distinguishable from other information.
(f.iv)A
Data Subject’s objection to direct marketing must be promptly
honoured. If a customer opts out at any time, their details should be
suppressed as soon as possible. Suppression involves retaining just
enough information to ensure that marketing preferences are respected
in the future.
(g)SHARING
PERSONAL DATA
(g.i)Generally
we are not allowed to share Personal Data with third parties unless
certain safeguards and contractual arrangements have been put in
place.
(g.ii)You
may only share the Personal Data we hold with another employee, agent
or representative of our group (which includes our subsidiaries and
our ultimate holding company along with its subsidiaries) if the
recipient has a job-related need to know the information and the
transfer complies with any applicable cross-border transfer
restrictions.
(g.iii)You
may only share the Personal Data we hold with third parties, such as
our service providers if:
they
have a need to know the information for the purposes of providing the
contracted services;
sharing
the Personal Data complies with the Privacy Notice provided to the
Data Subject and, if required, the Data Subject’s Consent has been
obtained;
