Principles

We protect personal data, also known as personal information, in line with laws and company policies.
We all have a responsibility to collect, use and (where required) disclose personal data in a way that keeps it secure and protected, preserving people’s rights to privacy

We will

Use and protect personal data, in line with applicable laws, and our internal privacy policies and guidance; and
Never give out anyone’s personal data without making sure there is a lawful reason to do so.

What happens when…

To raise money for a Rolls-Royce community charity, we’re holding a ball. We have organised a photo booth and photographer for the evening. We want to show people what a fun place it is to work so is it ok to share the photos from the ball on social media?

You need to be careful when sharing personal data, like photos, on social media as there are laws to protect our privacy. Many people do not like pictures shared online. Before the event ask your manager if it’s the right thing to do. You can also contact the Data Privacy team about the risks and how to stay inside the law.

When my manager was asking people to sign a get-well card for a colleague I overheard her talking about the details of their illness. It made me feel uncomfortable, knowing something so personal, and I’m not sure it’s right.

Personal data should never be shared without consent, or a legal reason. Even in the same company or team, only necessary personal information should be disclosed. Your manager means well, but unless they have consent to share this information they may have breached privacy laws and Rolls-Royce policy.
