We need personal data in order for us to provide you with the service(s) to which you have contracted or otherwise given your consent. We are committed to ensuring the information we collect and use is appropriate for this purpose and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.
 
Will CCLT share my personal data with anyone else?
We may pass your personal data to third-party service providers contracted to CCLT in the course of dealing with you. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only to fulfil the service they provide on our behalf and will do so in line with the requirements of GDPR.
 
How will CCLT use the personal data it collects about me?
CCLT will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary. CCLT is required to retain information in accordance with the law, such as information needed for company tax and audit purposes. How long certain kinds of personal data should be kept may also be governed by specific business-sector requirements and agreed practices. Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs.
 
Under what circumstances will CCLT contact me?
We may use your information to contact you with details about products and services which we feel may be of interest to you. We will also contact you when we feel the information is relevant to the services which we are contracted to provide to you.
 
Can I find out what personal data the organisation holds about me?
CCLT at your request, can confirm what information we hold about you and how it is processed. If CCLT does hold personal data about you, you can request the following information:

  • If the processing is based on the legitimate interests of CCLT or a third party, information about those interest

  • If we intend to transfer the personal data to a third party or international organisation, information is available about how we do this securely.

Data Protection Officer (“DPO”)

CCLT is not required to appoint a DPO under the GDPR but we have decided to do so voluntarily. We understand that the same duties and responsibilities apply had we been required to appoint a DPO. We support our DPO to the same standards. Our contracted DPO service reports directly to our highest level of management and is given the required independence to perform their tasks. Our DPO is tasked with monitoring compliance with the GDPR and other data protection laws, our data protection policies, awareness-raising, training, and audits.

Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)

If your household has entered a new social housing tenancy after 1989, social housing providers would have shared your personal information with the Government for research and statistical purposes. Each time we re-let a property we complete a CORE (Continuous Recording of social housing lettings and sales) form. You can find out about the information collected and how it’s stored by reading the Privacy Notice from the MCHLG.
