What is GDPR?
- The General Data Protection Regulation is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and European Economic Area
- Came into force on 25th May 2018
What are GDPR principles?
1) Lawfulness, fairness and transparency.
2) Purpose limitation.
3) Data minimisation.
4) Accuracy.
5) Storage limitation.
6) Integrity and confidentiality (security)
7) Accountability..
What are GDPR requirements?
It gives individuals the right to know what information is held about them, and provides a framework to ensure that personal information is handled properly.
a) The Data Protection Act 2018 controls how your personal information is used by organisations, businesses or the government.
b) The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK’s implementation of the General Protection Regulation (GDPR).
o Everyone responsible for using personal data has to follow strict rules called ‘data protection principles’. They must make sure the information is:
o Used fairly, lawfully and transparently,
o Used for specified, explicit purposes,
o Used in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to only what is necessary,
o Accurate and where necessary kept to date,
o Kept for no longer than is necessary,
o Handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised processing, access, loss, destruction or damage
c) There is stronger legal protection for more sensitive information, such as race, ethnic background, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, genetics, biometrics, health and sex life or orientation.
d) Under the Data Protection Act 2018 we have a rights to find out what information the government and other organisation store about us. These include rights to: be informed about how your data is being used, access personal data, have incorrect data updated, have data erased, stop or restrict the processing of your data, data portability, object to how your data is protect
How do you ensure information security on your project?
- marking all relevant documents as Public Private or Restricted
- issuing documents only through secured platform – Aeconex
- disposing printed documents in specific bins only (disposal of security information on the clients offices)
- only dealing with people wo are security cleared
- renewal of my security clearance when required.
- changing my password every 6 month
- locking my laptop every time when leaving my desk
How long you need to keep data for?
- 6 year if the contract is written under hand
- 12 years for contract signed by deed
- RICS recommends 15 years as this is max a claim against professional negligence can be made
What are BIM levels?
Level 0 BIM - Level 0 means that the project promotes zero collaboration and makes use of paper-based 2D CAD drafting techniques. The main goal is to generate Production Information in the form of paper or electronic prints. This is an obsolete level that is rarely used by industry professionals nowadays.
Level 1 BIM involves using both 3D CAD and 2D drafting. While 3D CAD is used for conceptual works, 2D is used for the generation of statutory approval documentation and Production Information. At this level, data sharing happens electronically using a common data environment (CDE) managed by the contractor. Also, the CAD standards are governed under British Standards (BS 1192:2007) At this level, there is zero or low collaboration between the different stakeholders as everyone creates and manages their own data.
Level 2 BIM is prescribed by the UK Government for public sector projects. This level promotes collaborative working by giving each of the stakeholders its own 3D CAD model. Collaborative working is the distinguishing aspect of this level and Level 2 requires streamlined information exchange related to a project and seamless coordination between all the systems and the stakeholders. All the parties work on their local 3D CAD models and information is exchanged through a common file format. Such a system allows organizations to combine external data with their own model to create a federated BIM Model. Explore more about BIM Exectution plan (BEP/BXP)
Level 3 BIM Often termed as ‘Open BIM’ the scope of Level 3 hasn’t been completely defined though it promises deeper collaboration between all stakeholders through a shared model stored in a central repository. Level 3 concept enables all the participants to work on the same model simultaneously which eliminates the chance of conflicting information.
Level 3 proposes the use of an integrated solution built around open standards like IFC where a single server stores all the project data. Though this level is slowly picking up pace, many firms in the UK are still thinking of transitioning from Level 2 to Level 3.
