Freedom of information Act 2000
The freedom of information act 2000, is an act of parliament of the United Kingdom that
creates a public “right of access” to information held by public authorities. It is the
implementation of freedom of information legislation in the United Kingdom on a national
level. The Act implements a manifesto commitment of the labour party in the 1997 general
election.
This act will provide the individuals and Chanel with the right to request information held by
a public authority, it tells the applicant whether they hold the information. Even though users
can view Chanel’s website by browsing however it is done anonymously however Chanel does
give the people an opportunity to register and receive newsletters, they also give a link below
their website that allows people to access their social network, Facebook, twitter, YouTube,
Instagram etc...
Right of access to information held by public authorities, this is when a person requests
information to public authority which they would be informed in writing where they will hold
information of the description which is specified in the request. Therefore as there is a lot of
pictures posted and tweeted and any other form of social media there is always information
getting out to the people which means that Chanel is giving the people the ‘freedom of
information’ as they are not being deprived from the information.

Human right Act 1998
Human right act is an act to give further effect to right and freedoms guaranteed under the
European convention on human rights, to make provision with respect to holders of certain
judicial offices who become judges of the European court of human rights. The human right
Act 1998 came into force in the United Kingdom in October 2000. It is composed of a series of
sections that have an effect of codifying the protection in the European convention on Human
rights into UK law. This helps Chanel protect and affirm that every individual dignity is
important, which means no matter where they come from, what age or culture, religion or
income they may have they will be treated fairly and respectfully from Chanel and even within
the workers. Human rights could also be responsibility and duties to other people and the
community, it’s important for everyone to know human rights and protect them to reduce
cruelty, if people understand it, the situation would be easier for them to promote justice and
wellbeing of the people.

Ethical Issues
There are also ethical issues that are dealt with using organisational policies and codes of
practise such as: use of email, internet and whistle blowing. Which are ethical issues which
are acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in a business.
Many businesses including Chanel have a code of practice on the correct use of their emails.
Many companies have a code of practice on the use of the internet and what their
employees can and cannot do in regards with the internet. Chanel using social media such as
Facebook which has code of practise when people use their website or internet relating to
them and what the users can and cannot use Facebook for. For example users are not
allowed to post anything that may be offensive that can hurt or effect another user, no
matter what social media, if they would post an image of a user, the user is able to report it
off which then Facebook will take it off, there are also codes of practise which govern selling
on the internet which many business or sites.
Whistle blowing is someone who exposes misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity
occurring in an organisation, is also one of the ethical issues which users can relate to, this is
when an employee which they can use and relate to. This is when an employee raises a
concern about a business practise either to management within the company or to an
outside organisation such as the press. In this case Facebook users will be reporting or
whistle blowing to the owners of Facebook if any danger would happen like a crime, cyber
bullying, fraud or posting posts that offend other users. Facebook users usually have trouble
trying to take down either a false post. Usually under an image on Facebook it gives the user
a chance to decide what they want to do with the picture. Such as removing a tag, spam, or
reporting the image so that those people will receive a message from Facebook notifying
them to remove a post or image. Such reports and spams and other can be prevented from
the users from different social media too.
Organisational policies may have many policies to ensure that their businesses practices with
regard to information can be done more ethically, which could be anything from how they
manage information to ensuring marketing and other business practises are fair.
Information ownership in your day to day work, then you should be responsible such as
annual report, if you create it you are the information owner. If you own information, you
have to protect the information’s confidentiality and act with integrity when anything has to
be different with respect to the information.

Organisational Issues
Businesses including Chanel have to store and manage their business and a lot of their
information, all their information have fundamental issues that they will insure that their
organisation receives the information required also knowing which staff receive those
particular information. However a number of policies and procedures have to be in place
concerning particular security of the information’s, their back up in case of lost information,
health and safety and different organisational policies, this is to make sure that the
information are managed properly which is why these policies are needed for Chanel.
For security of information it is important that Chanel management of who can view and
update information which can be a variety of things; everyone in the organisation, an
authorised list, more controlled people following different rules. The right information
available whenever they may need it, in order to make the best decisions they can possibly
make, so information security is needed to deal with maintaining honesty and availability of
Chanel’s information and knowledge of the organisation. For example Chanel has a rule for
their Facebook security, how it is illegal to use someone’s personal information and use it to
make another account so it is useful for Chanel to protect their information. Security
information should be used in their many social media as there can be problems occurring,
such as hackers which may hack into their systems. Although Chanel’s Facebook and other
social media and currently open to people they have people which make sure that there is no
information that is not needed to the audience, unlike other Facebooks which you can have
other personal information. Chanel has policies which relate to the use of their information
to make sure that different decisions don’t affect staff, they need to first see if is
understandable, also if the policies meet the legal requirements and also take account of
other impacts. These policies make sure that the staff have leadership to help obey the
legislations, and also Chanel needs to make sure that constant decisions are made because it
is especially important for internal communication because they handle customers. However
for all these policies Chanel needs to think about cost, as it’s always involved, for example
deciding what policies to take and different measurements they need to see what benefits
their company. However they need to consider a few things such as, cost of development, for
example is their answer available or will they have to spend time developing it themselves.
Another thing is additional resources, this is for if Chanel wants to purchase new equipment
for their company or employ new staff. Most businesses including Chanel will have backups
which are very important this is to back up their system, for example internal data and also
customer data, which can be due to health and safety. For backups organisations need to
defend their data loss or any processing problems, this information would have to be backed
up regularly, this can depend on the company whether they do a full back up or only
particular aspect of the company. There are also a few health and safety regulations for
example for using screens and monitors, computers and desks etc… should be positioned
appropriately, so this may be necessary for those working in an office of Chanel, also a
health and safety may be that they have regular eye checks if using computers every day,
also having daily breaks away from the computer.
