Information sharing
Processing personal information about the provision of Adult Care Services allows us to provide those services and fulfil our legal responsibilities, such as providing advice and support, providing carers assessments, providing Drug Treatment and Testing Service and running our Residential Care Homes.
On occasions, we may keep your personal information within the Council's archives for evidential and historical reasons, or use it for research and statistical purposes.
It will sometimes be necessary to process personal information to protect individuals from harm or injury, to prevent and detect crime, to comply with legal orders, and to provide information in accordance with a person's rights.
The Council will only process your personal information when it is lawful to do so.
Reasons
Data processed by the Council about Adult Care Services provision is processed because
- It is required by law
- It is necessary as part of a contract
- It is necessary to protect someone's life
- It is necessary to provide a Council service which is part of our public task.
Section 1 of the Council's Register of Processing sets out the Adult Care Service activities that involve the collection and use of personal information and the reason why we can process your information lawfully.
If we require your permission to process your personal information, we will ask you. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you can do so through contacting the Council's Information Rights Team.
