Antrica (Division of Zilica Ltd) Data Protection Policy Effective date: 25th May 2018 Last Reviewed: 22nd July 2026 |
- Introduction
This Policy sets out the obligations of Zilica Ltd (Antrica), a company registered in England under number 4888553, whose registered office is at 8 Hasting Close, Bray, SL6 2DA, UK (“the Company”), regarding data protection and the rights of data subjects in respect of their personal data under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
The UK GDPR defines “personal data” as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
This Policy sets the Company’s obligations regarding the collection, processing, transfer, storage, and disposal of personal data. The procedures and principles set out herein must be followed at all times by the Company, its employees, agents, contractors, or other parties working on behalf of the Company.
The Company is committed not only to the letter of the law, but also to the spirit of the law and places high importance on the correct, lawful, and fair handling of all personal data, respecting the legal rights, privacy, and trust of all individuals with whom it deals.
- The Data Protection Principles
This Policy aims to ensure compliance with the UK GDPR. The UK GDPR sets out the following principles with which any party handling personal data must comply. All personal data must be:
- 2.1 Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject.
- 2.2 Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. Further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes.
- 2.3 Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed.
- 2.4 Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is processed, is erased, or rectified without delay.
- 2.5 Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organisational measures required by the UK GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject.
- 2.6 Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

- 4.2.5 The processing relates to personal data which is clearly made public by the data subject;
- 4.2.6 The processing is necessary for the conduct of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity;

- 4.2.8 The processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of an employee, for medical diagnosis, for the provision of health or social care or treatment, or the management of health or social care systems or services on the basis of UK law or pursuant to a contract with a health professional, subject to the conditions and safeguards referred to in Article 9(3) of the UK GDPR;
