Data Controller

We have been designated as a 'Lead Authority' in Great Britain for the UK Community Renewal Fund. For the purposes of this initial local bidding process, all personal data used up to the submission of the shortlist, we will be a joint data controller with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).

This is for all UK Community Renewal Fund related personal data collected with the relevant forms as part of this process.

Once the successful applications have been identified by MHCLG, this is considered the second part of the process. Any data collected by DCC for monitoring purposes, or to evaluate the programme, will be on behalf of MHCLG who will be considered the sole data controller for this data.

View the MHCLG privacy notice.

The MHCLG is a data controller for all UK Community Renewal Fund related personal data collected with the relevant forms submitted to MHCLG, and the control and processing of personal data. To contact their data protection officer, email dataprotection@communities.gov.uk

We ensure that your personal data is accurate, processed fairly and lawfully, kept secure and retained for no longer than is necessary.

The legal basis for processing personal data

Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
