Why we need your data

We collect your partial postcode or District so that we can confirm we have representation across our whole area.

We also collect personal data in order to gather information about the types of individuals and groups participating in the consultation. We collect the following information:

–         age range

–         ethnicity

–         gender

–         religion

–         sexual orientation

–         if you consider yourself to have a disability which limits your day-to-day activity

Providing any of the above data is completely optional. Any information you do give will be used to see if there are any differences in views for different groups of people and ensure the consultation fairly represents the different demographics living in the consultation area.

In addition, Google Analytics stores information about:

–         the pages you visit

–         how long you spend on each page

–         how you got to the site

–         what you click on while you’re visiting the site

Google Analytics does not collect or store your personal information (for example your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. 

Who may we share your data with?

Anonymous summary data and reports will be shared with all four partner councils. This may also be shared with other organisations which have a direct interest in the consultation: for example, government departments.

We will not:

–         sell or rent your data to third parties

–         share your data with third parties for marketing purposes

–         transfer your data outside the UK

We may share your data if we are required to do so by law, for example by court order, or to prevent fraud or other crime.

How long we keep your data

Ipsos will retain the data for one year after the end of the consultation in March 2023. After this it will be deleted.

What legal reasons allow us to use your data in this way?

Our legal basis for processing your personal data is that it is necessary to perform a task in the public interest.

Our legal basis for processing your special category personal data is that it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, ie. equality of opportunity of treatment.

What rights do you have over the use of this data?

·      To access a copy of your data that we process

·      To have us rectify or correct your data that we process
