Purpose of this Privacy Notice 

This Privacy Notice tells you how North Lincolnshire Council uses personal data in relation to the North Lincolnshire Open Place Directory. 

What do we mean by personal confidential data? 

Personal data relates to living persons and is information that can be used to identify an individual such as name, date of birth, address, or postcode. 

What data do we have and what do we do with it? 

1. Personal Data 

The North Lincolnshire Open Place Directory holds personal data about individuals who provide services or activities accessible by local residents or where an individual is acting as a point of contact for such a service or activity.  

North Lincolnshire Council will also hold personal data in the form of names and email addresses used to create a log in account. Passwords created will not be  visible or known to anyone other than the account holder. 

North Lincolnshire Council does not capture and store any further personal information about individuals who access this website, except where you voluntarily choose to give us your personal details via email or by inquiring about how to add your service or activity to the directory. The personal data you provide will only be used to provide you with the information that you have requested. 

More general information about subjects such as cookies can be found in the council’s general privacy notice on the Data Protection and Privacy webpage.

2. Can I withdraw my consent?

3. How do we store your information and for how long? 

Our employees have contractual obligations of confidentiality, enforceable  through disciplinary procedures and receive appropriate training on confidentiality and other aspects of Information Governance. 

We take organisational and technical measures to ensure the information we hold is secure – such as using secure locations, restricting access to authorised personnel, and protecting personal and confidential information held electronically. We only exchange personal confidential information using secure methods, such as encrypted email. 

For the purposes of the North Lincolnshire Open Place Directory data is retained for the time that the service or activity is part of the directory. When a service or activity chooses to leave the directory, data is retained securely within the system for 6 months.
