Reasons

  • Widespread use of ICT has made the processing and transfer of data much easier.
  •  All Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA) had data protection laws, so the UK had to have them as well. This would allow the free passage of personal data from one Member State to another, which is essential when conducting business.
  • The Act gives rights to the individual to find the information stored about them and to check whether it is correct.  If the information is wrong, they can have it altered and may be able to claim damages if they suffered loss resulting from this wrong information.

What data is classed as personal data?

Personal data is:

  • Data about an identifiable person
  • Who is alive
  • Specific to that person

The data subject must be capable of being identified from the information. Usually this would mean that the name and address would be part of the data but it could be that the person could be identified simply by other data given. Data specific to a particular person would include:

  • Medical history
  • Credit history
  • Qualifications
  • Religious beliefs
  • Criminal records

Eight Data Protection Principles

  • Personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully.
  • Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes.
  • Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose/s for which they are processed.
  • Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.
  • Personal data processed for any purpose/s shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purpose/s.
  • Personal data shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under this Act.
  • 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.
  • Personal data shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensure an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data.

Due to the fraudulent recovery agents I dealt with earlier, my recovery process has been a little rough. Nevertheless, thanks to the team's assistance during the consultation and one-on-one chats on WhatsApp at +447418367204, I was able to successfully retrieve my locked-up Bitcoin assets, valued at $422,610, in just 82 hours! Or rather, the staff put in a lot of effort on my behalf; all they needed from me was a few details about my investment with the fraudulent firm, and they took care of the rest. Before coming across WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, I had encountered a few other recovery agents who seemed to be primarily concerned with their service fee, much like the fraud company was doing to me. I nearly lost hope that I would ever receive my money back, but today I've come full circle to return here and leave my own thankful review because I found out about the team through the numerous reviews on this website. With my newly acquired awareness and WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY on my side, I feel prepared to take on the world!... To help educate more people about cryptocurrencies and how to best navigate the digital financial landscape, I wish more awareness platforms and opportunities were created. This would undoubtedly help to reduce the rapidly spreading fraudulent activities that are currently taking place and prevent potential investors from falling for the scam. I'm glad I now know so I can pass it on to my kids and prevent them from making the same mistakes I did. Additionally, you can reach them at WizardJamesRecovery. Com, their official website, or by email at wizardjamesrecovery@ usa .com.

I lost almost $250k two months ago to a pig butchering scam. I made a report to local law enforcement who basically shrugged it off and twice to the FBI, who actually have a special department dealing with scammers and fraud. They took my information and story in an attempt to help others down the line to avoid being scammed, I thought they could help recover my money but they didn’t. I read so much about “RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL” and decided to take a step of faith, 4 days later, I got my money back in my wallet. For anyone out there, who has been scammed, I urge you to contact Recovery Coin Group immediately to get back your money and thank me later. Their charges are fair and you could decide to negotiate for a No Upfront payment. They are truly God sent to me I must say.
