Your privacy is important. We regard the lawful and correct treatment of personal data as vital to maintaining the confidence of the many people we deal with. We will treat personal data lawfully and correctly, any personal information you give us will only be used in accordance with principles found in the General Data Protection Regulations.

We may also record telephone calls made to the Council, or record CCTV images of customers visiting our Offices for:
Training our staff, improving our services, investigating complaints, prevention and detection of crime and for the safety and well-being of staff.
Sometimes we have to give it to other authorities, organisations or people. This would be for the prevention or detection of crime, or because of legal matters, for example. We don't need your consent to do this, but if we can, we'll let you know if we've passed your information on.
Most of the personal information we ask you for is to enable us to provide statutory services and is a legal requirement for some; such as the administration of the Electoral Register, Council Tax, Business Rates and Housing Benefit.
The information we hold about you has been collected for a specific purpose. Your consent may be needed when we want to use data for a different purpose. For example, we collect your name and address so we can send Council Tax bills, but we would need your permission if we used this information to send you something else at another time, this is called opting in.
If you give consent for this action or any other form of opt in consent, you have the right to ask for this consent to be withdrawn, where relevant. However, your consent is not required when we are obliged under law to assist in the prevention and detection of crime, for example through the National Fraud Initiative or where the information is needed to carry out a legal function, such as the collection of Council Tax.
