Privacy Notice

This privacy notice is published in accordance with the Data Protection Act (2018).  This notice provides general information on the way in which the personal information you provide is managed and processed by Broxtowe Borough Council (the ‘data controller’).  Depending on which Council services you use, you may be asked to review more detailed privacy notices specific to that service.

Information we collect about you

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Information provided voluntarily by you. For example, when you register for information, apply for a particular service or make a comment or complaint
• Information that you provide when you communicate with us by any means such as email, letter or telephone call
• Information collected using cookies on your computer about how you browse our website

You can disable cookies but this may have an impact on your experience when using the Council’s website.

Use of Your Personal Data

The information you have provided to the Council will be used by the Council in adherence with its statutory obligations, including enforcement action if required.

The Council is legally able to process your personal data:

• when you have freely and explicitly provided your consent to this processing or
• when the Council has a statutory duty to collect and process this information to provide the required service or undertake a statutory function.
• When your personal data forms part of a contract between you and the Council

The consequence of you not providing personal information to the Council is that the Council will be unable to process you enquiry, assessment or application.

Sharing of Personal Data

The personal information you provide will not be shared for any other purpose unless required by law, to prevent or detect crime or to protect public funds.

Additionally the Council must make public certain details in the form of a public register where it has a statutory obligation to do so.  For example, registers of private hire drivers.

The categories of organisations we may share your personal information with are:

• Statutory and other public bodies.

Protecting Your Personal Data

Your unpublished personal data will be kept secure by the Council and will be kept within the UK, under the terms and conditions of the Data Protection Act (2018) or within the EU, under the terms and conditions of the General Data Protection Regulation (2016).

Where the Council uses a third party to store your personal data and it is stored outside of the UK/EU, the Council will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to keep your personal data secure.

Keeping Your Personal Data

The Council will keep your personal data in accordance with the Council’s retention schedule, unless you explicitly request it to be removed. This right to have your data removed is not an absolute right, for example, we will need to retain your data if this information forms part of a statutory or legal obligation, public registry or an existing contract.

Your responsibilities

• Only provide personal information pertinent to its intended use or for the purpose of processing a claim, application or notification for statutory requirements (electoral roll, council tax assessment, rent registry).
• Tell us as soon as possible if any of the personal information you have provided has changed, e.g. your address or other contact details.

Your Rights

There are a number of rights that you may exercise depending on the legal basis for processing your personal data.  In most cases, these rights are not absolute and there may be compelling or overriding legal reasons why the Council cannot meet these rights in full.  This will be explained to you in more detail should you contact the Council for any of the reasons detailed below:

• request a copy of the personal information the Council holds about you;
• to have any inaccuracies corrected;
• to have your personal data erased;
• to place a restriction on the Council’s processing of your data;
• to object to processing; and
• to request your data to be ported (data portability).

Where the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, in most circumstances you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time and the Council will act on your instructions.

If you have any concerns about how we process your personal data or wish to discuss how to exercise your rights, you should contact the Information Governance Officer using the contact details above.  You also have the right to make a complaint to the Council by contacting the Broxtowe Borough Council Contact Centre on 0115 917 7777
