The key principles of data protection

When processing personal data, organisations must comply with the seven core principles of UK GDPR:

1. Lawfulness, fairness and transparency

Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a way that is clear and transparent to individuals.

2. Purpose limitation

Personal data should only be collected for specified, legitimate purposes and not used for unrelated activities.

3. Data minimisation

Organisations should only collect and retain the personal data that is necessary for their intended purpose.

4. Accuracy

Personal information must be accurate, complete and kept up to date.

5. Storage limitation

Personal data should only be retained for as long as necessary and in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.

6. Integrity and confidentiality

Appropriate technical and organisational measures must be in place to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

7. Accountability

Businesses must be able to demonstrate compliance with data protection legislation through policies, procedures and effective governance.

These principles form the foundation of UK data protection law and sit at the heart of regulatory expectations.
