What happens to your ‘information’ and ‘personal data’?
55. The proper handling of personal information by Carmarthenshire County Council is very important to the delivery of our services, undertaking our legal obligations as an employer and maintaining public confidence. Personal data is any information that relates to a person who can be directly or indirectly identified from the information. The terms ‘information’ and ‘personal data’ are used and have the same meaning. To ensure that the Council treats your information correctly, we seek to adhere in full to the requirements of Data Protection legislation. The Human Resources – People Management and Legal Services privacy notices have therefore been produced to explain as clearly as possible what we do with your personal data and are available to view on the Council’s website.
