If you have completed a paper survey, once you complete and return it to us, we will transfer the information you have given us onto the council’s secure network and then destroy confidentially the paper copy.

We will not use the information for any other purpose than set out in this privacy notice and will not disclose to a third party i.e. other companies or individuals, unless we are required to do so by law.

Retaining personal data
We will keep the information you give us in CYC’s secure network drive and make sure it can only be accessed by authorised staff.

At the end of the retention period, we may pass any relevant information to the City Archives where it is required or appropriate to do so.
