Your privacy

The council has a responsibility to look after your personal data:

• the council's Chief Executive and Executive Directors will implement and enforce information policies across the council
• the Executive Director, - Finance and Corporate Resources, provides guidance and helps to make sure that personal information is kept secure, including how we store it, who should have access to it and how we transfer it to other agencies
• managers, make sure that employees are aware of and comply with their responsibilities
• individual employees must comply with their responsibilities
• the Data Protection Officer gives training, guidance and advice on the interpretation of the UK GDPR, as well as checking and reviewing the effectiveness of our policies and our procedures.

Before we start to handle personal information for a new purpose or make changes to the way we already handle information we will carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment.

We aim to ensure that any contractors providing services on our behalf treat personal information in the same way we do.
