Purpose of processing personal information
Processing personal information about the provision of Information Management Services allows us to provide those services and fulfil our legal responsibilities to manage personal data and public sector information lawfully.
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 Information Management provision is processed because
- It is necessary to provide a Council service which is part of our public task.
- It is required by law
Section 18 of the Council's Register of Processing sets out the Information Management 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.
