R3’s COMMITMENT TO DATA PROTECTION
AND CONFIDENTIALITY

R3’s data destruction/erasure processes have been specifically designed to meet the obligations imposed by law upon all R3 customers that process and store personal data regarding their own customers, members or subscribers.
They have also been designed to address any customer concerns regarding third party confidential information (or intellectual property rights) that may continue to reside upon any redundant IT equipment coming into R3’s possession.

Data Protection

The key obligations imposed upon organisations under the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998 (“the DPA”) include:-

Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for any longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes; and
Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

Confidential Information

Organisations also have a duty to ensure that third party confidential information in their possession is kept in strictest confidence and not made available to other interested parties (whether by accident or otherwise).

R3’s processes and its commitment to customers

R3’s rigorous data destruction and erasure processes ensure that its customers do not breach the provisions of the DPA or their duties of confidence owed to third parties – thus avoiding heavy fines or claims for damages.
R3’s customers can be assured that personal data/confidential information contained within any storage media (hard drive etc.) to be recycled by R3 will be irrevocably destroyed/erased as a result of R3’s data destruction/erasure processes.
