Data controller notification
Dear Sir or Madam
Failure to notify is a criminal offence. Offences are triable either in the Magistrates' Court or the Crown Court In England or Wales. In Scotland offences are triable in the Sheriffs' Court or High Court of Justiciary. On conviction an offender is liable to a maximum fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale of fines contained in the Criminal Justice Act 1982 (As amended) and the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975. At present this is £5,000.00p in the Magistrates' and Sheriffs' Court (Scotland) or an unlimited fine in the Crown Court and High Court of Justiciary (Scotland).
If you are registered under the 1984 Act. 1998 Act or exempt.
There is no reason to contact us.
The Data Protection Act 1998 requires every Data controller who is processing personal data to notify unless exempt. (Data controller means a person who determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data are, or are to be, processed).
What is notification? The Data Protection Commissioner maintains a public register of data controllers. www.dpr.gov.uk Each register entry includes the name and address of the data controller and a general description of the processing of personal data by the data controller.
Individuals can consult the register to find out what processing of personal data is being carried out by a particular data controller.
Am I exempt? If you keep details of individuals, companies, employees, credit details, customer lists, CCTV, accounts, membership details etc. On computer then you must register.
(Personal details Included in this category are classes of data which identify the data subject and their personal characteristics. Examples are names, addresses, contact details, age, sex, date of birth, physical description, identifiers issued by public bodies, eg NI number).
If you were registered under the 1984 Act. You may have been registered under the 1984 Act with one or more register entries. If you had a single entry you need to notify when your 1984 entry expires unless you are exempt. When you notify we need to know your previous registration number to ensure that no reminders to notify are sent to you.
Under the 1998 Act a data controller may only have one register entry. You can choose to notify at any time before your last entry expires. When you notify, all your remaining 1984 entries will be removed from the register. This is why we ask you to provide a list of all your previous registration numbers in this section. You can wait until your last entry is due to expire and than notify.
How do I contact you? Due to manpower restraints we are unable to offer a manned telephone service. You can write with your query or email us at:
dpars@fsmail.net
How do I notify? Fill in the enclosed notification form and return it to us with the correct fee.
Please allow up to 60 days for notification
