Privacy Notice
We need to handle personal information about you so that we can
provide services to you. This is how we look after
that information.
When we ask you for personal information, we
promise:
- to make sure you know why we need
it;
- to only ask for what we need, and not to
collect too much or irrelevant information;
- to protect it and make sure nobody has access
to it who shouldn’t;
- to let you know if we share it with other
organisations to give you better public services - and if you can
say no;
- to make sure we don’t keep it longer than
necessary; and
- not to make your personal information
available for commercial use without your permission.
In return, we ask you to:
- give us accurate information; and
- tell us as soon as possible if there are any
changes, such as a new address.
This helps us to keep your information
reliable and up to date.
You can get more details on:
- how to find out what information we hold
about you and how to ask us to correct any mistakes;
- agreements we have with other organisations
for sharing information;
- circumstances where we can pass on your
personal information without telling you, for example, to prevent
and detect crime or to produce anonymised statistics;
- our instructions to staff on how to collect,
use and delete your personal information;
