Personal information collected and lawful basis
We process personal and sensitive information as part of our statutory function to engage with our communities.
We will use Citizen Space to collect the sign-up information which will include:
Full Name; Address; Postcode, Telephone numbers; Email address; IP address (your computer or device’s identifier)
We will also aim to collect the following sensitive information in order to ensure the group representatively reflects everyone who lives in Warwickshire: age, gender, ethnicity, long term health conditions, employment status, household type and if people are employees of Warwickshire County Council or elected representatives of any council.
We may also ask for optional information on religion, sexual orientation, caring responsibilities, previous military service and membership of interest groups. You do not have to give us this information.
We may use your information to analyse your feedback against your personal characteristics, such as age. All analysed data will be pseudonymous and will not be associated or cross referenced with your name or contact details in any way.
The only exception to this is when safeguarding concerns are identified. In the event of any potential safeguarding issues being identified, WCC will try to contact the individual concerned and, where deemed necessary, other parties in order to take appropriate action in accordance with our statutory safeguarding duties.
Who we may share your information with
