We use a range of organisations to either store personal information or help deliver our services to you.
The following is a broad summary of the types of organisations your personal information may be shared with
Internally:
To provide appropriate, timely and effective services, we may share basic information about you such as your name, contact information including telephone number email address and your property address. This is so we can keep our information on you as up to date as possible and so we can improve our services to you. We ensure that staff can only access the information they need to do their job.
Partner organisations under Data Sharing Agreements or protocols:
We have data sharing arrangements in place with partner organisations, who we work with to provide certain services to you. Under data sharing arrangements, certain personal information is shared for a specific purpose. The organisation receiving the information must only use that information to carry out that specific purpose and keep your data safe and secure.
We may also sign up to or follow local or national protocols, such as the National Fraud Initiative, which requires us to share particular personal information in a certain way.
Third Parties:
Sometimes the law requires that we have to pass on your personal information to a third party. For example, personal information may be provided to the courts, either because the court has ordered such information to be provided.
Even if not required to do so by law, we may also share your personal information where we feel that there is an overriding reason to do so. For all of these reasons the risk must be serious before we can override your right to privacy. This does not happen often, but we may share your information with a third party in order to:
-
to find and stop crime and fraud;
-
protect the public, our staff or other professionals against any serious risks
-
protect a child, for example where we suspect they may be subject to abuse, their needs are not being met, or they are at risk in some other way;
-
protect adults who are thought to be at risk, for example if they are frail, confused or cannot understand what is happening to them.
We will not sell or give your personal information to a third party for marketing purposes unless we have your permission.
