Who the data may be shared with
We may share your personal information when there is a legal duty to do so, or we feel there’s a good reason that’s more important than protecting your privacy. This doesn’t happen often, but we may share your information:
- in order to find and stop crime and fraud
- if there are serious risks to the public, our staff or to other professionals
- to safeguard the protection of a child or vulnerable adult
The council is under a legal duty to protect the public funds it administers. To do this we may use the information you have provided to the council for the prevention and detection of fraud. We may also share this information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds for these purposes.
Sharing data outside United Kingdom
We process your data within the UK.
Automated decision making
We do not use automated decision making for garden waste functions.
How long will the data be kept for?
