How and why we process health data

We transform information from a range of sources to understand our local population better.

Objection

You have a right to request that the Public Health Team stop processing your personal data in relation to any council service. Where possible, we will seek to comply with your request but may need to retain and/or continue to process your information to:

  1. meet a statutory/legal obligation, or
  2. maintain the integrity of the council’s information.

Before any such decision, the Public Health Team will endeavour to work with you to come to a common understanding and agreement over how your data is being used by the service, including how it is safeguarded to ensure your privacy is maintained.
