Purpose of processing personal information
Processing personal information about the provision of Community and Emergency Services allows us to provide those services and fulfil our legal responsibilities, such as tackling anti-social behaviour, promoting public safety and providing community and home safety advice and support.
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 Community Safety and Emergencies provision is processed because:
- It is required by law
- It is necessary as part of a contract
- It is necessary to provide a Council service which is part of our public task.
Section 3 of the Council's Register of Processing sets out the Community Safety and Emergencies 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.
