Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Deputy Town Clerk.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Deputy Town Clerk  along with an updated Privacy Notice for the Council.

Members were informed of the Council’s obligations under data protection legislation to provide a Privacy Notice. The Notice sets out how the Council collected, stored and processed personal data, the legal basis for this processing, and the rights of individuals whose data was held.

The Committee was also reminded of individual Councillor responsibilities regarding data protection. Any new data-processing activities must be included in the Notice, and therefore it was an operational document which may need updating more frequently than on an annual basis.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the updated Privacy Notice be adopted by Witney Town Council and,

3.      That, any further operational inclusions prior to the next annual review be added under delegation to the Deputy Town Clerk.
