Assessment Practice

Assessment Practice

  1. The display screen equipment regulations apply to people using computers for their work but not necessarily to those using them at home, unless the employee works at home. The DSE regulations apply to any form of display screen. This means that employees working with PCs, laptops tablets and smartphones are all covered by these regulations.
  2. Activities that are permissible from the investigatory powers act are:
    • Interception - This relates to the accessing of communications including telephone, email and any type of messaging, during transmission
    • Interference - This relates to the accessing of electronic equipment, including digital devices and smartphone to obtain communication data
    • Retention - This means that all internet connection records have to be archived for 12 months.
  3. The CD&PA gives creatives the ability to decide what others do with their work. For example, they can decide to sell it or allow it to be used with a credit. The creator gives people the right to share, use and build on their work. Open source software is an example of a Creative Commons licence.

    4. The Data Subjects right and the DPA 2018 include:

  • Be informed about how the data is being used
  • Access personal data
  • Have incorrect data updated
  • Have data erased
  • Stop or restrict the processing of the data
  • Data portability (allowing the data subject to get and reuse the data for different services)
  • Object to how the data is processed in certain circumstances

    5. Article 8 of the European Convention on human rights protects people from being 'snooped'         on by digital corporations. The Human Rigths Act 1998 enshrines this into law with the                exception being if that personal is threat to 'national security'.
