What is the Data Protection Act? 

The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and this Policy protects the privacy and security of personal data (‘Personal Data’) relating to our employees, vendors, suppliers, service providers, customers, professional advisers and other business associates (together our ‘Commercial Partners’) when conducting business with  us and regulates how we handle and treat such information. 

Failure to comply with the DPA could cause reputational damage and could result in severe civil penalties being imposed upon us or our Commercial Partners. 

What is Personal Data and how do we use it? 

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes a person’s name, postal address, email address and telephone number, whether personal or work-related. It also includes sensitive personal data such as information on an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, 
religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership (or non-membership), physical or mental health or condition, sexual life, genetic or biometric information. In the course of our business, we may collect, hold and use personal data relating to, amongst others, our colleagues, employees of our Commercial Partners, and applicants for employment with Arco. 

Our Policy 

We want to create an environment of confidence and trust that encourages people generally and, our customers and Commercial Partners in particular, to share personal data with us as appropriate for our business needs. 

We expect all colleagues and all Commercial Partners to comply with their obligations under the DPA and any applicable contracts or data processing agreements. We do not tolerate any breach of the DPA or any other local, national or international laws or regulations in relation to data protection or privacy (as we would not tolerate any other breach of applicable rules and laws). 

This Policy and any Guidance are intended to ensure that we maintain the highest standards. 

Application of this Policy 

This Policy applies to Arco and all Arco colleagues. All our colleagues must read, apply and comply with their obligations under this Policy and Guidance. 

This Policy is also relevant to our Commercial Partners when conducting business with us; for example this Policy is reflected in our Supplier Code of Conduct. We will not work with Commercial Partners who are not committed to complying with applicable laws and standards.
