Disciplinary Regulations Privacy Notice
This Privacy Notice should be read in conjunction with the IET’s main Privacy Notice.
Members of the IET are expected to abide by the IET’s Rules of Conduct. Where allegations of breaches of those rules are received, those allegations are handled in accordance with the process set out in the IET’s Disciplinary Regulations. This Privacy Notice sets out how personal data will be managed by the IET in the course of the disciplinary process. For further information about the disciplinary process, you are referred to the Guidance on the IET’s Disciplinary.
Part A: Members, Complainants and Witnesses
The IET’s lawful basis for processing personal data is Article 6 (1) (f) UK GDPR: ‘processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data’ and Article 6 (1)(b) UK GDPR: necessary for the performance of a contract' (IET membership).
In the case it is necessary to process criminal offence data or special category data, the IET will only do so if it is lawful under an Article 6, 9 or 10 UK GDPR basis and a Schedule 1 condition Data Protection Act 2018, or a Data Protection Act 2018 exemption applies.
The IET’s volunteers and advisors engaged in the disciplinary process are under a duty of confidentiality to the IET in respect of all information they receive. IET volunteers are also required to abide by the IET’s Volunteer Code of Conduct.
Generally, the accused member will be informed of the identity of the complainant during the process unless:
- the complaint is made anonymously; or
- it is likely that there is a risk to the rights and freedoms of the complainant. In this case, the IET will conduct appropriate analysis before continuing, and will notify the complainant of the outcome.
Even if the decision is made to withhold the identity of the complainant from the accused member, it may be such that the accused member can identify the complainant from the nature and details of the allegation and evidence provided.
The IET is mindful of the data protection principles, included the need for data minimisation, and will before sharing personal data make any reasonable redactions to preserve the integrity of the information.
The table below sets out the personal information that will be processed at each stage of the disciplinary process, and by whom. References to “IET staff” means those IET staff that need to know the information.

- [1] The third party investigators are a separate data controller and will issue their own privacy notice in respect of the investigation they are instructed to carry out.
- [2] Readers of IET Member News include, but are not limited to, IET members, volunteers, customers and the general public. The purpose of publishing the sanction (suspension/expulsion) is to uphold professional standards and the integrity of the IET to its members, the sector and the general public. It is necessary and appropriate to correct public perception as to the sanctioned individual’s standing with the IET - in the same way that publication of membership, fellowship and professional registration may professionally advantage an individual, that professional advantage may be lost upon publication of membership suspension/termination pursuant to disciplinary action. Therefore, this activity is the singular mechanism for alerting others (including (potential) employers and other membership/professional bodies) that an individual’s membership is suspended or terminated and serves to protect the public.
- [3] See footnote 1 above.
