People who make a complaint

When NE WebWorks receive a complaint from a person, we generate a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.

We only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide. We do compile and publish statistics showing information like the number of complaints we receive, but not in a form which identifies anyone.

Depending upon the complaint, we may have to disclose the complainant’s identity to
whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis.

We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for two years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘need to know’ principle.

Similarly, where enquiries are submitted to us we will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues and to check on the level of service we provide.
When we act against someone, we may publish the identity of the defendant in our Annual Report or elsewhere. Usually we do not identify any complainants unless the details have
already been made public.

Access to personal information

NE WebWorks tries to be as open as possible when people request access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’ under the Data Protection Act 1998. If we do hold information about you we will:

  • Give you a description of it;
  • Tell you why we are holding it;
  • Tell you who it could be disclosed to; and
  • Let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form.

To make a request to NE WebWorks for any personal information we may hold you need to put the request in writing addressing it to Head Office, which can be found on our website, or writing to the address provided below:

If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with the specific information you need over the telephone.
If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by, once again, contacting our Head Office.

Disclosure of personal information

In many circumstances, we will not disclose personal data without consent. However, when a complaint is investigated. We will need to share personal information with the organisation concerned and with other relevant bodies.
