The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority

This policy may also be referred to as our "Information Charter".

When we need to handle personal information about you, this is how we look after that information.

When we ask you for personal information, we promise:

• to make sure you know why we need it;
• only to ask for what we need, and not to collect too much or irrelevant information;
• to protect it and make sure nobody has access to it who shouldn't;
• to let you know if we share it with other organisations to give you better services (which we don't at the moment) – and you can say no;
• to make sure we don't keep it any longer than necessary; and not to make your personal information available for commercial use without your permission.

In return, we ask you to:

• give us accurate information; and
• tell us as soon as possible if there are any changes, such as a new address.

This helps us to keep your information reliable and up to date.

You can get more details on:

• how to find out what information we hold about you and how to ask us to correct any mistakes;
• agreements we have with other organisations for sharing information;
• circumstances where we can pass on your personal information without telling you, for example to prevent and detect crime or to produce anonymised statistics; our instructions to staff on how to collect, use or delete your personal information;
• how we check the information we hold is accurate and up to date; and
• how to make a complaint.

None of the above affects our policy of being open and transparent, or our commitment to Freedom of Information and Data Protection.
