How we process your data
The council has a statutory duty to provide and make publicly available records of council meetings and decisions taken. The amount and type of personal data Democratic Services collects from members of the public and Councillors, will depend on why and how you're contacting or interacting with us. This may simply mean providing your name and address but for some things we may need to ask you for more details and sometimes sensitive personal data or special categories of personal data. When Democratic Services collects your personal data we'll:
- ensure you know why we need it;
- only ask for what is necessary for the service we're providing to you or to
- provide the information you're requesting;
- protect it and make sure nobody has access to it who shouldn’t;
- keep it secure and ensure that the privacy of individuals is protected;
- ensure you know if you have a choice about giving us personal data; and
- make sure we don’t keep it for longer than is necessary.
