What does our Privacy Policy cover?

Stockton Business Centre needs to collect and use certain types of information about people with whom it deals in order to perform its functions. This information includes current, past and prospective, suppliers, clients, customers, service users and others with whom it communicates. We are required by law to collect and use certain types of information to fulfil our statutory duties and also to comply with the requirements of government departments. This personal information must be dealt with properly however it is collected, recorded and used – whether on paper, in a computer, or on other material – and there are safeguards to ensure this in the Data Protection Act 1998. Stockton Business Centre regards the lawful and correct treatment of personal information as critical to successful operations and to maintaining confidence between those with whom we deal and ourselves. We must ensure that, as an organisation, we treat personal information lawfully and correctly. To this end we fully endorse and adhere to the Principles of data protection as enumerated in the Data Protection Act 1998.
