Welsh Government has reminded local firms of its guidance on the record keeping of staff, customers and visitors during the coronavirus pandemic.
The purpose of this renewed guidance is to provide advice for organisations and small businesses on collecting and retaining records of staff, customers and visitors to their premises for a limited period.
There has reportedly been confusion on what details should be recorded and in some cases information has been misused for marketing purposes whether mistakingly or on willfully.
Information is recorded solely to support the NHS Wales Test, Trace, Protect service in the event that the contact tracing process is initiated because someone within your premises tests positive for COVID-19 or is identified as a contact.
The guidance is intended for those with and without experience of collecting and retaining personal data for business purposes. The updated guide is available for all Welsh businesses to follow https://gov.wales/keeping-records-staff-customers-and-visitors-test-trace-protect
