4. How we use your personal data

Legal basis

The law requires us to have a legal basis for collecting and using your personal data. We rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests: We may use your personal data where it is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests (and these are not overridden by the impact on you). Our legitimate interests include conducting our community-led campaign to reduce antisocial behaviour in Brixton, gathering the views of the community about how to do this and publicising a record of what was discussed at our events for the purposes of holding the police, council and other public agencies to account (please see Section 5 below for more information about this).
• Legal obligation: We may use your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to. We will identify the relevant legal obligation when we rely on this legal basis.
• Consent: We rely on consent only where we have obtained your active agreement to use your personal data for a specified purpose. For example, where you consent to receive email updates from us about our campaign or where you provide us with data about your ethnicity (or other sensitive personal information such as political views, if relevant) for the purposes of filling in one of our surveys.

5. Disclosures of your personal data

We do not routinely share your personal data, but where necessary we may share your personal data in the following ways for the purposes set out in Section 4 above:

• Survey data will be compiled and analysed collectively. Individual responses will not be disclosed publicly or to third parties. Only aggregated data, from which individual participants cannot be identified, will be shared with third parties or publicly.
• Event data, such as event minutes, may be made publicly available on our website to serve as a record of what was discussed and agreed. Where we do this, we will not publish the names of members of the public, including members of ACTION ON ASB!, that spoke at our events. We may publish the names of the police and council and other public organisations that spoke at our event.
• We receive services from external service providers such as Google, MailerLite, GoFundme, change.org, Squarespace and secure survey providers such as Google Forms to process your data only as necessary for the purposes they were collected for. We do not authorise these third parties (or any other service providers as we require from time to time) to use or disclose your personal information except in connection with providing their services.
• Where you have provided your consent to share your personal data. For example, where you have asked us to raise specific issues with the council, police or other public agencies.

6. International transfers

We may transfer your personal data to service providers for example Google, MailerLite, GoFundme, change.org, Squarespace and secure survey providers such as Google Forms. This may involve transferring personal data outside the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as UK law. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK to service providers, we ensure the service providers are contractually required to handle your personal data appropriately.

Please contact us if you would like more information about why we transfer your personal data outside the UK and for a copy of the safeguards that are in place.

7. Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, as set out in Section 4 above. We will consider how long to keep your personal data based on why and how we use your personal data and the nature and sensitivity of your personal data. When your personal data is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymise it.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 8 below for further information.

8. Your legal rights

You have a number of rights under data protection law in relation to your personal data. These include the right have access to your personal data and to correct your personal data for accuracy. In certain circumstances, you also have the right to request that we erase your personal data, that we port over your personal data to you or a third party in a machine readable format and the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data. Where we rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal data, you have the right to object, although our legitimate interests may override your objection depending on the context.

Where we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data carried out prior to you withdrawing consent.

Please contact us at aoasb@outlook.com if you would like to exercise any of these rights. Note that under data protection law there may be circumstances in which we do not need to comply with your request.

9. Complaints

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
