Data Protection

The Council is registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner's Office . We do not gather information other than contact details of people that contact us in order to carry out the Council's duty in representing its parishioners. Before any data is gathered, we request permission to do so. No data is shared outside the Parish Council without explicit permission. If you change your mind, you can withdraw consent at any time by contacting the clerk on clerk@southtawtonparishcouncil.org.uk or 07543 443819. Information gathered is kept securely on the Parish Council computer, or in locked cabinets in the clerk's office. If you would like us to delete all data we hold on you, we can do this.

The Parish Council has made concerted efforts to be GDPR compliant, and will continue to monitor and improve its efforts to protect your data. If you believe there to be a data protection breach then please inform the clerk on 07543 443819 immediately.
