Swindon Borough Council (SBC) collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you.

GDPR also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner who may be contacted on 03031 231113.

Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
 

On completion of the consultation we will retain the information for a period of no more than 12 months. All details will then be securely disposed of.
