The Promise is intended to help strengthen public trust and confidence in the way organisations handle their personal information.  It is a clear statement from the very top of an organisation that it values the personal information entrusted to it and will put the appropriate resources in place to look after it.

“We take our responsibilities under data protection legislation seriously and signing up to the promise affords us a unique opportunity to demonstrate our commitment on privacy matters to our employees and customers alike” says Paul Leadbeater, Director, Security Screening Department. “The Promise emulates the importance we place on safeguarding the personal information we hold.”
