Data protection, rights and access: Personal versus sensitive personal data

The Data Protection Act defines both personal data and sensitive personal data. Data users must ensure that the necessary conditions are satisfied for the processing of personal data and in addition that the extra, more stringent, conditions are satisfied for the processing of sensitive personal data. At GCU our Assistant Head (Data Complaince) can help and advise you.
