The purpose of data protection legislation is to ensure that personal data is not processed without the knowledge and, except in certain cases, the consent of the data subject, to ensure that personal data which is processed is accurate, and to enforce a set of standards for the processing of such information.
Unlike the previous Act, the 1998 Act covers data held in manual files as well as computer files, although not all the provisions apply immediately to existing manual files. It is, however, Yorkshire property Deals and Lettings policy that as far as is possible all records will comply with the provisions of the Act.
