About this item

Overview

Kesgrave Town Council is committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy. We collect and use data lawfully and fairly, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This Privacy Statement provides a brief explanation of how we handle information and where to find our detailed policies. It also clarifies the difference between our Privacy Notice and our Website Privacy Policy.

How We Protect Your Privacy

The Council only collects and uses personal data when it is necessary to provide services, respond to enquiries, or meet legal obligations. We keep information secure, limit access to authorised staff, and never sell personal data. Your information is retained only for as long as needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected.

Our Two Privacy Documents

• Privacy Policy and Notice 2025–2028 – this is our main data protection document. It explains how Kesgrave Town Council collects, stores, and uses personal data in all its activities, including staff, councillors, contractors, and residents. It covers your rights under the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR.
• Privacy Policy for the Website 2025–2028 – this explains how our website collects and uses information online, such as through enquiry forms, cookies, or analytics. It applies only to this website and not to external links.

Summary

In simple terms: the Privacy Notice explains how we handle personal data across all Council services and activities, while the Website Privacy Policy focuses on data collected directly through our website.
