MVDC’s policy sets out how MVDC will comply with the data protection principles and clarifies MVDC’s policies regarding the retention and erasure of relevant personal data.

The source of the personal data:

You, your parent/guardian or other person nominating you are the source of your personal data. Personal information relating to you may be gathered from information you have provided on MVDC’s request. Alternatively, information may be gathered where you have responded to MVDC adverts on social media (including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook).

Recipients and categories of recipients of the personal data:

The data you provide is received by the MVDC Officer responsible for youth initiatives/events and is not shared outside of Mole Valley District Council by the panel when choosing who to shortlist and who has won awards.

Further information on onward transfers:

MVDC will not transfer the personal data you have provided outside of the UK or European Union unless this is permitted in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018

How long the personal data will be kept for:

In the case of the Mole Valley Youth Awards, all personal data submitted as part of the nomination process will be deleted following the conclusion of the respective annual awards ceremony other than in respect of any personal information that has been more widely published (if you have consented to this). MVDC will no longer be the data controller in respect of any continued processing by third party publishers or other entities responsible for social media platforms.

For nominators 13 years and older, all personal data submitted as part of the nomination process will be subject to one of two retention periods; (i) until the conclusion of the respective annual awards ceremony (if consent is not provided), and (ii) one year from the date of receipt if consent is provided (in which case nominators will be contacted in respect of the following year’s showcase award). For nominators aged under 13 years of age no data will be held after the conclusion of the awards ceremony.

Statutory Obligations to provide the personal data:

There is no statutory obligation on you to provide any personal data 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 the 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);
• 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 over ride your interests).
• Withdraw consent (see below)
