The legal basis for and the purposes of the processing:
MVDC has a discretionary garden waste service that customers can choose to subscribe to.
The garden waste administration system requires the following personal data to be stored on the database: name, address of collection, email address and phone number. The lawful basis for processing personal data is: Art 6(1)(b) Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract.
The source of the personal data:
The personal data required to set up a garden waste account is provided by the account holder or their representative(s).
Recipients and categories of recipients of the personal data:
The data you provide is received by the Customer Service Unit and will only be shared with other relevant departments such as Accounts and Joint Waste Services (who manage the waste and recycling contractors, Amey, on behalf of MVDC).
Further information on onward transfers:
MVDC will not transfer the personal data you have provided outside of the UK or European Union.
How long the personal data will be kept for:
The personal data you have supplied will be retained and destroyed in accordance with MVDC’s Records Retention and Disposal Schedule.
Statutory Obligations to provide the personal data:
There is no statutory obligation on you to provide any personal data about you, however, if you do not we may be unable to provide a garden waste contract or account for you.
Automated Decision Making:
The personal data provided by you will not be used for any automated decisions.
Data Subject Rights:
From 25 May 2018 you will have some specific rights in respect of your personal data. These may include some or all of the following rights to:
- see what personal data about you MVDC holds at any time (subject to certain caveats, for example where third parties are identified);
- have MVDC correct any errors (if any) in the personal data it holds about you
- request your personal data is erased (though this right will not apply where MVDC is processing your personal data because it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation).
- request processing of your personal data is restricted (this will only apply in certain situations, for example where its accuracy is contested, where the processing is unlawful and you oppose its proposed erasure by MVDC, or where MVDC no longer needs to process the personal data but it is required by you in connection with legal claims).
- following any changes to your personal data made as a result of (i) rectification, (ii) erasure, or (iii) restriction, MVDC will inform any third party recipients of the changes made, unless this is impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.
- object to the processing where the processing is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller (though MVDC will still be able to continue with the processing in certain circumstances, such as if there are compelling grounds for the processing which override your interests).
- the Right to data portability which provides you with the right to receive personal data (which you have previously provided to MVDC) in a commonly used and readable format.
Will the personal data be processed for a different purpose?
No. If MVDC needs to inform recipients about any action it has taken under the Data Protection Act then it will do so by placing a Notice on MVDC’s website informing the public of any relevant changes
If you are dissatisfied with how your personal data is processed by MVDC then you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner who can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AF.
