This privacy notice explains how we process information about individual people, known as “personal data”, that we collect through the Clean Harbours Partnership Illness Reporting Form.
We collect the following information:
- Your name, mobile phone number, email address and recent water-related illness.
We will only use your contact information for the purpose of contacting you.
We will use your report to gather data about illness incurred by water users in Chichester and Langstone Harbours and try to determine if there is a relationship between illness and recent rainfall and storm discharge of sewage.
Information that we receive about illness is shared in an anonymised form with the public, to help inform people about water quality.
If there is some information you are not comfortable contributing, you can choose to omit it. We are grateful for whatever you choose to contribute.
Our legal basis for holding your data is that you consented to it by giving it to us. You are welcome to withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at the address at the bottom of this page. We will then delete the data that you have given us.
How long do we store data?
We are unable to set any particular time limit on the storage of your data, but we will keep it under regular review and ensure that it is kept no longer than necessary.
We use this information for the following purposes:
- Contacting you to discuss your illness, and, if you have requested, emailing you updates about illness in the harbours. Every such email will include a link you can click to opt-out from receiving them. We will not sell your contact information to third-parties.
Automatically collected data
If you visit our website, then we will also collect other information about you. Some of this information is direct, for example your IP address and the type of browser you are using.
This information is, by default, automatically sent by web browsers and apps. There are technical ways you can obscure this information (for example by changing the information your browser supplies to us) but our systems cannot avoid processing information that is sent to them.
Under the GDPR, you have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those include rights to:
- Access your personal information.
- Require us to correct any mistakes in the information which we hold.
- Require the erasure of personal information concerning you.
For further information on each of those rights, including the circumstances in which they apply, see the Guidance from the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on individuals rights under the GDPR. If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us using the contact details given below.
The GDPR also gives you the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner who may be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/your-personal-information-concerns or telephone: +44 0303 123 1113.
