Magnox Ltd is committed to safeguarding and respecting your privacy. We take privacy, security and complying with data protection and privacy laws seriously.

Magnox Ltd is the ‘data controller’, for the purposes of data protection law. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal data about you. This notice applies to individuals who provide information to Magnox Ltd. This may include visitors to Magnox Ltd sites and contractors working at or with Magnox Ltd, including agency supplied workers, managed service workers and contractors. It does not apply to employees.

This notice sets out how we as the controller, collect and use your personal information; why we use it, with whom we share it, the rights to which you may be entitled and your choices about our use of your personal information.

This notice will be changed from time to time but if we change anything important (for example, the information we collect, how we use it or why) we will highlight those changes to you. If you have any questions please get in touch with our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or Data Protection Officer, Magnox Ltd, Wylfa Site, Cemaes Bay, Anglesey, LL670DH.

It is important that you read this notice, together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal information about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information.

Data Protection principles

We will comply with data protection law. This says that the personal information we hold about you must be:

  1. Used lawfully, fairly and in a transparent way.
  2. Collected only for valid purposes that we have clearly explained to you and not used in any way that is incompatible with those purposes.
  3. Relevant to the purposes we have told you about and limited only to those purposes.
  4. Accurate and kept up to date.
  5. Kept only as long as necessary for the purposes we have told you about.
  6. Kept securely.

What we collect, how we collect it and why we collect information about you?

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

There are "special categories" of more sensitive personal data which require a higher level of protection.

We collect certain types of information from and/or about you throughout our interaction with you and from third party service providers. This information may include for example, your name, address, contact details, curriculum vitae, and medical information. We use this information for the activities we have listed in the table enclosed.

Please note that we will not necessarily hold, use or share all of the types of personal data as described in this notice in relation to you. The specific types of data about you that we will hold, use and share will depend on the nature of your relationship with. For example, if you are a visitor to our sites then we will not be holding your CV.

Who do we share your personal data with?

There are certain circumstances where we may share your data with third parties. We will only do so where we have an appropriate legal ground under data protection law which permits us to do so.

Some examples of when your personal information may be shared with third party organisations are as follows:

  • we may share information about you with service providers and they may process personal data for us. They are always required to meet our standards on processing security. We do not allow our third party service providers to use personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
  • we may share your information with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA)
  • if we're required to do so by law, or under any regulatory code or practice we follow, or if we are asked to do so by any public or regulatory authority – for example the Police; or Office for Nuclear Regulation (“ONR”) or to defend any legal claims; and/or
  • if your personal data is made anonymous and aggregated, as in such circumstances the information will cease to be personal data.

Transferring data outside of the UK

An overseas transfer of personal data takes place when the data is transmitted or sent to, viewed, accessed or otherwise used in, a different country. Data protection law restricts transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) because the law in those countries might not provide the same level of protection to personal data as the law in the EEA.

We do not transfer your HR-related personal data to countries outside the EEA.

We will only transfer data to jurisdictions outside the scope of the EU and UK data protection laws where the appropriate safeguards required by these laws are in place.

How long will the data be kept?

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

At the end of that retention period, your data will be deleted. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal requirements.

Monitoring

We monitor your usage of our IT and communication systems, such as email, internet, telephone , etc. This is to protect confidential business information and intellectual property and to monitor for inappropriate behavior or use of systems. We also use CCTV and entry and exit gates on Magnox Ltd sites and premises.

Your rights

You may have certain rights in relation to your information including a right to access or to correct the information we hold on you. Some of these rights will only apply in certain circumstances however, such as the right to be forgotten or the right to request that we move your information to another company. They will generally not be available if there are outstanding contracts between us, if you continue to be employed as a contractor on one of our sites, if we required by law to keep the information or if the information is relevant to a legal dispute. If you would like to exercise, or discuss, any of these rights, please get in touch with our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or Data Protection Officer, Magnox Ltd, Wylfa Site, Cemaes Bay, Anglesey, LL670DH.

  • You can ask us to confirm if we are processing your information

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also require that our suppliers protect such information from unauthorised access and disclosure.
