What information do we collect about you?

The information we collect about you will depend upon the needs of the customer research project or competition. We will only collect information which identifies you if that is absolutely necessary and we will ensure you are aware of how the information is to be processed when we collect it. We will always seek to minimise the amount of personal data collected.

Data collected may include, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Name

  • Address

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Age

  • Gender

  • Your opinions about the services

  • Equalities information such as health information, race or religious belief will only be collected if absolutely necessary to inform the research or to ensure our services are provided in accordance with Equalities legislation.

Who do we share this information with?

Council officers will use this information for the administration of the customer research or competition.

We will your seek permission, prior to providing your email or postal address to a third party in order to issue your reward or prize.

Any information from customer research or competitions will be anonymised before being analysed either by partner agencies or by the services of Gloucester City Council.

Is there any information transferred to or stored on servers based outside the EEA?

No

How long do we keep your information?

12 months (anonymised data will also be kept for 12 months)

Who do we collect information from?

We collect information only from you.

What are the consequences if we do not collect the data?

Without your personal data we cannot administer customer research projects and any benefits to the service improvements at Gloucester City Council would be restricted. For some customer research projects, non-compliance will also mean any reward will be forfeited.

Any competition submissions without contact details will be void and prizes could not be awarded.
