Data protection
Data protection law controls how organisations, businesses and the government use your personal information – go to GOV.UK: data protection
At Thurrock we keep all of your records on secure computer systems and in secure manual filing systems. We will tell you:
- how we use this information
- who we might share it with
Asking for your information
You can ask us for a copy of all the personal information that we hold about you. This could be from our computer systems or paper files.
By law, you have the right to get:
- confirmation that information about you is being processed
- access to your personal information
A request for this information is called a 'subject access request'.
