Who we are

BCP Council will be the Data Controller for the personal information you provide. Personal information can be anything that identifies and relates to a living person. For example, this could be your name and contact details. As the Data Controller, BCP Council will use your information to provide you with our services.

Why we collect your personal information

We will collect enough personal information in order to provide you with services relevant to any bookings or hire at Upton Country Park, or if you should subscribe to our Park News email service, keeping you up to date with news and events at Upton Country Park.

We may also contact you in a situation when as a local authority we have a duty to inform residents.

We are not permitted to collect information we do not need or will not use. This document covers information you have provided direct to the Council and information which has been shared with us by other organisations.

If we don’t need your personal information we will either keep your details anonymous, if we already have it for another service or we won’t ask you for it. If we use your personal information for research or analysis, we will always keep your details anonymous or use a fake name.

We don’t sell your personal information to anyone else.

The legal basis for using your information

According to the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we must have a reason to collect and use your information.

This will be:-

To enable us to manage the services we provide
To train and manage our workers who deliver those services
To investigate any worries or complaints you may have about our goods or services
To check the quality of our goods and services
To help with research and planning of new services.

There are a number of legal reasons why we need to collect and use your personal information. For this service you, or your legal representative, have given explicit consent.

Who we may share your information with

legal information or advice
crime prevention and detection records
information that we believe may be harmful to you and your well-being
details about or provided by other people – this is called third party information (e.g. information from the Police or Department for Work & Pensions)

You may also ask us to:-

stop processing your information if this causes or might cause damage or distress
stop processing your information for direct marketing
make decisions about you using your information by automated means (e.g. using computers to decide on an entitlement)
amend any of your data which you feel is inaccurate. You can also ask for information to be blocked, erased or destroyed.
transfer your information electronically to another service provider.
consider a claim for compensation for any damages caused by a breach of the Data Protection regulations.

If you give consent for us to use your information, you may withdraw this at any time. However, this may affect our ability to continue to provide you with a service.
