Why does the Community Health and Wellbeing Development Team process personal data?

Community Health and Wellbeing Development will always obtain your consent prior to collecting or processing your personal data; this is the lawful basis for processing your data.

The Council needs to process data to take reasonable steps at your request to entering into a contract with you. It may also need to process your data to deliver a service you have requested.
In some cases, the council needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. Examples of processing personal data could be;
• Joining the Erewash Can application in order to take part in the physical activity campaign Erewash Can
• Signing a consent form in order for yourself/dependent to take part in one of our activities.
• Completing a Health Referral form once you have begun a referral session with one of our team.
• Completing an accident form out that has occurred whilst yourself/dependent has been takin part in one of our activities.

For some of our services we need to collect personal data so that we can get in touch with you or provide the service. We always try to make sure the information we collect is correct and is not an invasion of your privacy.

Where we do not directly provide the service, we may need to pass your personal data onto the people who do. These providers are obliged to keep your details safe and secure and use them only to fulfil your request. If we wish to pass your sensitive personal data onto a third party we will usually only do so once we have obtained your consent, unless we are legally required to do so.

The Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU General Data Protection Regulation ensure that we comply with a series of data protection principles. These principles are there to protect you and make sure that we:

• Process all personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
• Collect personal information for a specified, explicit and legitimate purpose
• Ensure that the personal information processed is adequate, relevant and limited to the purpose for which it was collected
• Ensure the personal information is accurate and up to date
• Keep your personal information for no longer than is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected
• Keep your personal information secure using appropriate technical or organisational measures.

Who has access to data?

We have a legal requirement to make sure you know what we intend to do with your information and who it will be shared with.

In order to provide you with the service you require, there may be occasions when your information is shared with those who carry out work on our behalf.

Sometimes we may need to ask other agencies or organisations for relevant information about you to fulfil our legal responsibilities or to provide services.

We may pass your information to other agencies or organisations as allowed or required by law, for example to carry out their statutory duties where it is necessary to prevent harm to yourself or other individuals.

We want to be able to provide appropriate, timely and effective service and it is important to us that we co-ordinate what we do for you properly. To do this we share basic information such as name and address between services within the Council. This is so that we can keep our information on you as up to date as possible and so that we can improve our services to you. For example if you tell the Contact Centre that you have moved they will pass this information onto other parts of the Council like Sport and Health Development if necessary.

Even though our systems are joined-up, we ensure that staff within Community Health and Wellbeing Development team can only access the information that they need to do their job. In addition we have a duty to protect the public funds we administer and so may use the information we hold to prevent and detect fraud and any other legally required purposes.

We will also need to supply your information to organisations we have contracted to provide a service to you.

We will only ever share your information if we are satisfied that our partners or suppliers have sufficient measures in place to protect your information in the same way that we do. As such, there are sufficient data agreements in place with these contractors in order to safeguard your data.

We do have specific information sharing agreements in place with some of our partners and sometimes the law requires that we may have to pass your details on to a third party, for example to prevent a crime.

How does the council protect data?

The council takes the security of your data seriously. It has internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.

How long does the council keep data?

• Access and obtain a copy of your data on request
• Require the council to change incorrect or incomplete data
• Require the council to delete or stop processing your data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purpose of processing; and
