Data Controller

Surrey Heath Borough Council is the data controller and responsible for looking after your personal data (collectively referred to as ”SHBC”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this privacy notice). Occasionally certain services will require us to be Joint Data Controller with others. If this is the case, we will tell you.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy notice. If you have any questions about this privacy notice, please contact the DPO using the details set out below.

As part of Surrey Heath’s transparency and accountability, when dealing with people’s data both the Council and the Councillors are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.  View details for the Council’s registration.  Each Councillor is registered independently to allow Councillors to consider residents in their local wards personal information when representing them.  View details for each Councillor by searching for the Councillors particular name.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
