Data Protection
The DVLP take the protection of data seriously. As we are part of Barnsley Council we have robust systems regarding the protection of data, We receive regular updates and training on these issues within the Council and are monitored to make sure we comply. The only information we hold on individuals are the booking sheets for any of our events that people book onto and the mailing list for our newsletter. All information is securely stored and can only be accessed by members of the DVLP team. We never share this information with anyone else. When the DVLP ends in June 2019 we will delete the newsletter mailing list and any contact information we store on our booking spreadsheets.
Contact information on a project by project basis, for groups and partners we are working with, is stored in individual address books within Microsoft Outlook on staff members’ computers which are all secure.
For the newsletter, we use the Mailchimp online system, access to this account is password protected and only accessed by members of the DVLP team. We never add anyone to the mailing list without their express permission (in writing), people mainly subscribe themselves and they are also able to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of newsletter, this will delete all information. In summary:
- The only information we have from individual is an email address, or for those attending workshops / events a contact telephone number
- We never share any of the data we hold with any other organisation, even within the Partnership
- Our systems and protocols for the storage of information are in line with the Barnsley Council policies
- We will delete any contact details, for the newsletter or the booking of events, we hold at the end of the DVLP programme in June 2019.
