Councillor Nicholas Jones

Protecting your Personal Data

New Data Protection Legislation is in place which replaces the Data Protection Act 1998. The new legislation is called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and is supplemented by the updated UK Data Protection Act 2018. This new legislation places new obligations on ourselves as Councillors (as a data controller) and strengthens the rights that individuals have over the processing of their personal information. For further information about what personal information I process on your behalf and what I do with it please open the document “Councillor Activity Privacy Notice”. Information about your individual rights can be found on the Council’s website: https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=14249 You can also obtain full information about your rights from the Information Commissioner’s Office https://ico.org.uk (the ICO). The ICO is the UK's independent regulator responsible for upholding and enforcing the rights of individuals under data protection law.
