Data protection policy

When we collect personal information from data subjects we will be clear and transparent about this in what is termed, a privacy notice. Data protection legislation stipulates the information which must be provided in Privacy Notices.

You can see further details of our privacy notices both on the specific forms and on our website.

A Privacy Notice includes the details as set out under the UK GDPR at Article 13. We set this out in a clear and accessible manner explaining details such as:

• who we or the joint data controller is
• the contact details of the Council's Data Protection Officer
• the purpose we are collecting the data for and our legal basis for doing so
• the recipients of this data
• how long we store this data for or otherwise our retention criteria
• your rights

Dependent upon the issue, we may also include additional information in compliance with the legislation. Please note sometimes this information will be layered.
