Why we collect your information

West Lindsey District Council will collect your personal information for the purposes of delivering the consultation which is used to collect views on topics and services for West Lindsey District Council.

What information do you collect about me?

The majority of consultations undertaken separate to the West Lindsey Citizen Panel will not collect personal information.  Where we do ask for personal information the reason will clearly be specified and no information collected will be used to identify or contact you unless this is clearly specified.  In the majority of cases you will be able to opt-out of sharing your personal information.

The council will only ever publish results to surveys in an anonymous manner and sensitive personal data will not be disclosed.

How will you collect personal information about me?

Where personal data is collected it will only be used for the purposes of consulting with you to monitor and improve our services, by obtaining feedback from those using our services. This is on the legal basis that this is necessary for a task we are carrying out to benefit society as a whole and in accordance with our powers as set out on s111 of the Local Government Act 1972.

Will you share my personal information with third parties?

Your personal information will not be shared with third parties.

How long will you keep my data?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
