´óÐãÊÓƵ County Council is the controller for the database of local Eco schools.

The service processes personal information in order to carry out delivery and administration of the Eco Schools Database either directly or jointly with partners and commissioned private and third sector providers. This includes:

• providing updates on local Eco Schools events and national Eco Schools initiatives and support
• contacting you for good practice examples
• contacting regarding other projects relevant to Eco Schools

Our consultants are required to collect information about you when you voluntarily register for information and events relevant to local eco school activity.

The programme processes personal information which is relevant to individual cases which may include, but is not limited to, the following personal data:

• personal details – e.g. name / age / address
• contact information – e.g. telephone numbers / email address

The legal bases for processing this personal information are:

• consent
• tasks carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority

We may need to share the personal information you have given to us or we’ve collected about you with our consultants.

At no time will your information be passed to organisations external to ´óÐãÊÓƵ County Council for marketing or sales purposes or for any commercial use without your prior express consent.

If you have consented to receive marketing, you may opt out at a later date. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please contact learningforsustainability@worcestershire.gov.uk.

Information will only ever be shared when it is strictly necessary to help us provide effective services and you may have the right to refuse. We will not pass it onto any other parties unless required to do so by law or in all reasonable circumstances the disclosure is fair and warranted for the purposes of processing or subject to a data protection exemption.

We have specific data sharing agreements in place with local agencies and sometimes the law requires that we may have to pass your details on to a third party, for example, to prevent crime.

We will hold your contact details for as long as you are on our mailing list. If we receive a request from you to be removed from our database we will action this within one month of you notifying us.
