How we use your information
Calderdale Council is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under the provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018. The Council takes its responsibilities under the Act very seriously.
The information provided by you is collected purely for the purposes of entering your event on What’s On in Calderdale, on the Calderdale Council website. We need to collect this information in order to ensure the details of your event are expressed correctly. Where copyright in an image is involved, we also need to ensure compliance with the Council’s legal obligations under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Completion of this form/sharing your information with us constitutes explicit consent from you for us to process your data for this purpose.
You have the right to see what information is held about you, to have inaccurate information corrected and to have information removed from our system unless we are required by law or a statutory purpose to keep it. The contact is: whatson@calderdale.gov.uk.
You also have the right to complain to the Data Protection Officer if you feel that your data has not been handled in accordance with the law.
You can contact the Council’s Data Protection Officer at information.management@calderdale.gov.uk.
The form/information you are submitting will be saved electronically and securely in the Library Service’s system. It will be deleted no later than 3 months after the information contained ceases to be required in relation to your event, unless it contains information pertinent to copyright permissions. In this case, it will be retained for 6 years.
Details of the event as published on the Calderdale Council website will be removed from the public site after the day of the event. The same details will remain in the Council website’s content management system for a maximum of 18 months to allow for re-use of data for further events submitted by the same organisation. Should the data be re-used for a further event, it will be retained for a further (maximum) 18 months.
