Data Protection

Eden District Council maintains a formal registration under the Data Protection Acts 1998 that permit it to hold and process personal data. Data provided through this website may be used for any of the Council's statutory purposes. For further information view the Data Protection Policy

Who do we share information with?

Depending on the original purpose for which is was obtained and the use to which it is to be put, information may be shared with a variety of services, examples include Housing sharing with Health or Housing Benefits sharing with the DSS. It may also be shared, where necessary, with other organisations that provide services on our behalf, e.g. contractors working for the Council.

In all of these examples the information provided is only the minimum necessary, to enable them to provide services to you.

Personal information about you may also be provided to Government departments, where we are required to do so by law, or to other local councils. An example would be when you have moved from one Council's area to another, and the new Council requires confirmation of the services you were receiving.

Information about you may also be provided for statistical research. This will not include your name and address unless you have given us permission to provide the information.
