Any personal data you provide, or which we collect about you, will be stored securely and only used to send the text survey to you, and provide anonymous data for reporting on and for the improvement of the Family Group Conference Service.
Your mobile phone number be will shared with ‘GOV.uk Notify’ (administered by the Cabinet Office) who are acting as data processor for the purpose of sending these text messages. This information is shared in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. Further information about the security of the ‘GOV.Uk Notify’ system can be found here: https://www.notifications.service.gov.uk/features/security.
We will not use your information for any other purpose or give it to anyone else unless we are required to do so by law or if a safeguarding concern is raised. For example, we have a duty to protect public funds so we may need to use the information held about you for the prevention and detection of fraud which would require us to share it with other Council statutory services or organisations responsible for auditing or administering public funds. For more information visit our page on how we use your information.
