As a public authority and a provider of services to the public, we have a legal duty to comply with the Equality Act (2010).

This means we need to make service adjustments for anyone with a disability who contacts us in any capacity, to eliminate any barriers to accessing our services. Our legal basis for processing this information is article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR as we have a legal obligation to provide this. Our processing of special category data, such as health information you give us, will be based on article 9(2)(a), which means we need your consent.

We鈥檒l create a record of your adjustment requirements. These will give your name, contact details and type of adjustment required, along with a brief description of why it is required. Relevant staff can access this to ensure they are communicating with you in the required way.

How long we keep it?

For information about this please see our retention schedule

We will not share your information with any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing.

We use data processors who are third parties who provide elements of services for us. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organisation apart from us. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

In some circumstances we are legally obliged to share information. For example under a court order or where we are required to do so under any act or legislation. We might also share information with other regulatory bodies in order to further their, or our, objectives. In any scenario, we鈥檒l satisfy ourselves that we have a lawful basis on which to share the information and document our decision making and satisfy ourselves we have a legal basis on which to share the information.

We may impose a restriction on your access to our services if it鈥檚 necessary to protect our staff from unacceptable behaviour.

The legal basis we rely on to process your personal data is article 6(1)(e) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which allows us to process personal data when this is necessary to perform our public tasks.

If we do this, we鈥檒l explain to you the restriction we have applied and why we feel it鈥檚 necessary. We鈥檒l create a record of the restriction for administration purposes, so relevant staff members know the restriction is in place. This will include your name, contact details and a description of why we have imposed a restriction.

The decision to impose a restriction will be taken, and reviewed, by a manager. We鈥檒l write to you explaining why we鈥檝e applied the restriction. We鈥檒l review the restriction periodically. We鈥檒l remove it if we feel your behaviour has changed or if you no longer communicate with us.

Single point of contact

We may provide a single point of contact if you or we (or both) believe it will help to create a better outcome for all concerned.

If the information you provide us in relation to your single point of contact contains special category data, such as health, religious or ethnic information the legal basis we rely on to process it is article 9(2)(g) of the GDPR, which also relates to our public task and the safeguarding of your fundamental rights, and Schedule 1 part 2(6) of the DPA2018 which relates to statutory and government purposes.

A decision will be made by a manager to give you a single point of contact. This may be where you have several complaints and we believe it will be more efficient for us to deal with them in this way. We鈥檒l make a record of the fact that you have a single point of contact. All relevant staff will know about using it to manage communications between our office and you. It will include your name, contact details and a description of the need to have a single point of contact. We鈥檒l review this requirement from time to time.

As part of our preparations for the requirements of GDPR, we have reviewed how we demonstrate accountability for our processing activities.

SM重口 (LFRS) is a public authority and therefore we have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in compliance with Article 37 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Our Data Protection Officer plays a key role in ensuring our accountability, but is not solely responsible.

The Key Information Governance Roles within the Organisation are as follows:

Senior Information Risk Owner 鈥� Justin Johnston, Director of Strategy and Planning.

Information Asset Owners 鈥� all Heads of Department

Information Governance Contact 鈥� Michael Threlfall, Information Governance Manager.

Information Asset Administrators 鈥� nominated by IAOs, number dependent on volume and nature of processing of information.

Our SIRO, DPO and IAOs, in conjunction with our Information Governance Team are responsible for making sure that our business processes and decision making are in line with GDPR requirements and good practice.

Our Information Governance Team provide advice, monitor compliance and carry out key tasks like responding to requests, handling security incidents, assist in managing records and promote good privacy, security and information management practices.

Our approach has 鈥榩rivacy by design and default鈥� at the forefront. We have an established privacy assessment process led by our Data Protection Officer who is available to provide advice throughout the process. This process is linked to our procurement, supplier assessment and contract management processes.

We have key accountability documentation including a record of our processing activities, corporate retention schedule and information asset register. Our business processes require that decisions and rationale are documented.

We are committed to being transparent with people who interact with us and use our services. We regularly review, monitor and update our Privacy Notices in order to accurately reflect our processing activates.

Training in data protection and governance for new starters and existing staff is ongoing. Where specific training needs are identified, we are committed to providing appropriate training and support.听
