Title: How the Capture Redress Scheme Independent Panel and the Panel Chair Will Process Your Personal Data

The Capture Redress Scheme (CRS) operates with a clear commitment to handling personal data responsibly, securely, and in line with applicable law. If you are considering making a claim or engaging with the independent panel and its chair, understanding how your information will be processed can help you feel confident about the process and your rights. Below is a concise overview of how your personal data will be treated throughout the scheme.

What kinds of personal data might be collected
– Identity information: name, contact details, date of birth, nationality, and any identifiers required to verify who you are.
– Claim information: details about the incident or events you are reporting, dates, locations, and descriptions of harm or loss.
– Evidence and supporting documents: correspondence, medical records, witness statements, and any other documents that substantiate your claim.
– Communications data: notes from meetings or mediation sessions, emails, letters, and phone call summaries related to your case.
– Data from third parties: information supplied by healthcare professionals, employers, or other organisations involved in the claim, where relevant and with your consent or as required by law.
– Legal and compliance data: information necessary to ensure compliance with statutory duties, policy requirements, and governance.

How your data is used
– To administer your claim: processing submissions, verifying eligibility, and determining whether your claim falls within the scheme’s scope.
– To assess and investigate: reviewing evidence, consulting with relevant parties, and facilitating any necessary inquiries or clarifications.
– To support the independent panel’s decision-making: providing the panel with the information they need to assess claims fairly and transparently.
– To communicate with you: sending updates, requests for additional information, and decisions related to your claim.
– To ensure governance and accountability: maintaining records for auditing, reporting, and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.
– To protect rights and safety: identifying and managing risks, safeguarding sensitive information, and ensuring data security.

Lawful bases for processing
– Contractual necessity: handling information to perform or consider your claim under the scheme’s terms.
– Legal obligation: processing data to comply with statutory duties, regulatory requirements, or court orders.
– Public interest or official authority: processing data for purposes such as safeguarding, accountability, and governance relevant to the scheme’s remit.
– Consent: where applicable and appropriate, especially for particular types of data or optional disclosures.

What data is shared and with whom
– Internal teams: the independent panel and associated administrative staff who support the case handling, under strict access controls.
– Third-party service providers: entities that support processing, anonymisation, storage, or analysis, engaged under data-processing agreements.
– External stakeholders: where necessary to verify information, consult experts, or comply with regulatory requirements (for example, healthcare or investigative professionals), and only with appropriate safeguards.
– Law enforcement or regulatory bodies: disclosures may occur where required by law or approved by the panel in pursuit of legal obligations or to protect stakeholders.

How your data is stored and safeguarded
– Secure storage: records are kept in systems with robust security measures, including encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, and regular security assessments.
– Retention and disposal: data retention periods are defined by policy and legal requirements; data is securely disposed of when no longer needed or upon request where appropriate.
– Access control: least-privilege access is enforced, with authentication, logging, and monitoring of data access to detect and deter unauthorised activity.
– Data minimisation and pseudonymisation: where possible, data is minimised and, where feasible, pseudonymised to reduce risk.

Your rights and choices
– Access and review: you can request a copy of your personal data held by the CRS and understand how it is being used.
– Correction: you may request corrections if you believe information is inaccurate.
– Erasure or restriction: subject to applicable laws and scheme requirements, you may request the deletion or restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
– Objections: you may object to processing in specific contexts, especially where processing is based on legitimate public interest or consent.
– Data portability: where applicable, you may request a transfer of data in a machine-readable format.
– Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it, recognising this may affect the handling of your claim.

How decisions are made and data relates to the decision
– The independent panel uses the information you provide, along with any evidence gathered, to make a decision about your claim.
– All data considered by the panel is treated in line with the scheme’s confidentiality and data protection policies.
– You may have the right to request a copy of the decision materials and the rationale, subject to any confidentiality constraints.

Data protection governance
– Policies: the CRS maintains data protection policies, procedures, and training to ensure staff and panel members handle information responsibly.
– Oversight: data protection officers or designated governance bodies monitor compliance and address concerns or breaches promptly.
– Breach response: in the unlikely event of a data breach, there are established procedures to contain, assess, and mitigate impact, including notifying affected individuals where required.

How to contact the CRS about your data
– Privacy enquiries: if you have questions about how your personal data is processed, you can contact the designated data protection or privacy team within the CRS.
– Complaints: if you believe your data rights have not been respected, you have the right to raise a complaint with the CRS and, if appropriate, with the relevant supervisory authority.

Key takeaways
– Your personal data is handled with a focus on security, privacy, and legal compliance.
– The independent panel and its chair will use your data to assess and adjudicate your claim, supported by trusted, privacy-conscious processes.
– You have rights to access, rectify, or limit the use of your information, and you can seek clarification or raise concerns through the CRS privacy channels.
