What is a Privacy Notice?

A Privacy Notice is a statement issued by an organisation, which explains how personal and confidential data about individuals is collected, used and shared.

Who is collecting and using your personal data?

Swindon Borough Council will act as a “Data Controller” for any personal data that you provide to us. We will ensure that the data given to us is processed in line with our Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 18) and the EU General Data Protection Regulations. (GDPR).

Your personal data – what is it?

Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data.

Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controller’s possession or likely to come into such possession. Recording a training session, briefing or event, means that if you have your picture or video image on screen or might include whatever you have in the background if you are working from home. These will be recorded.

If a recording is going to take place on the day you are in attendance, you are informed in the invitation to attend and on the day of recording the session (normally verbally) prior to any recording taking place.
You will be told of the purpose of the recording and that it will be made available for use by other related SBC team members. It is likely if you ask a question this will be recorded.

Please ensure you are aware that anything else that may be in the background could be recorded. You can on Microsoft teams put up a background to stop any additional pictures of your home being recorded. The processing of data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”).

Therefore anyone attending the recorded session may have aspects of their personal data recorded, if they actively participate or not.
