Lawfulness of processing
Processing your personal data is necessary for the purpose of the performance of a public task in accordance with 6 (1) (e) of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
Wyre Council (The Data Controller) will only process the data received to meet the objectives of the consultation being completed. The data collected is likely to include, your name, address, age, ethnicity, and physical limitations but may include other questions about your circumstances as is commensurate with the requirements of the survey.
The vast majority of consultation results are reported anonymously. However some statutory consultations (for example, planning) require us to publish the names of people providing comments. When we are legally required to do that, it will be stated in the consultation form at the point we ask for your information.
The council and its partners are committed to respecting the privacy of private, home and family life of all customers, residents and e-consultation respondents. There may be exceptional circumstances where an e-consultation results in the receipt of information that alleges, or provides evidence of, circumstances or events that require urgent action (examples of these exceptional circumstances would include the receipt of information that provided evidence of criminal activity or perhaps allegations of serious potential or actual risk or harm to identifiable individuals). We do not expect these to be frequent occurrences, but must reserve the right to act on legitimate concerns that may be raised even if these might appear unconnected or incompatible with the purposes of the consultation exercise.
We reserve the right to reject comments which are inappropriate, offensive or rude. Unless it is stated that consultees can make more than one response to a survey, we reserve the right to reject duplicated responses.
